3.11.22 // Choosing Levity

I have a relatively serious mind.
.
While my energy is light, bubbly, and optimistic...
.
My mind can be a dark and analytical place.
.
I love my mind's ability to think things through, but it can often be too much and I'm starting to realize that if I start to get over-analytical it can drastically impact my daily well-being.
.
I sometimes catch myself thinking, "If I could pick, I would choose to be less analytical and more carefree without needing to have a full-on overthink about everything."
.
But, I CAN CHOOSE.
.
I have complete control to choose that way of being- to let my goofiness and joy dictate my life. But there is a comfort I've found in being analytical, in being skeptical, in overthinking. I tell myself "it keeps me safe" or something silly like "it makes me a smarter functioning human," but that is just that analytical brain again...
.
I choose happiness, goofiness, and levity today, what about you?
