Thought provoking. Would you say that the same amount of thinking is overthinking in one situation and not in others? That having the wisdom and control to apply the appropriate amount in the appropriate situation is the goal

Thank you! I'm glad you think so. Thought-provoking is the goal 😊 That's a good question. I think it comes down to intentionality. There are diminishing returns for applying more and more cognitive energy towards a particular task. If the overthinking is caused by biologically panicked reactions of primal fears, rather than rational, strategic, and intentional problem solving, it is likely going to have a net negative effect. However, if the situation calls for deeper and longer thinking due to its importance or complexity, I would not consider that "overthinking". You're right that it's about wisdom and control. Wisdom to recognize the level of cognitive energy needed, control to intentionally use that amount without overdoing it.
