Keep working, you can control only that and that will also take care of you.

We have had severe financial problems during my twenties (more than three decades back), but we never got stressed like today when we have everything that is needed to lead a descent life. Back then, people including me were not overthinking - we just kept working and enjoyed that time. Back then I loved to sleep for more than eight hours (or even nine or ten hours sometimes) without any medicine or addictions - the day was full of physical work, and we were happy with small little things. Now also I don't take any medicine or have any addiction, but I am not able sleep like that. I don't have the same cravings for food and finally I have found out overthinking is the root cause of all the problems. So from last few months, I have been working to fix it and the only way to fix it is to keep ourselves busy with some work and get inspired by looking at such people who are not rich by wealth, but richer in health and inner peace. Most of us do white collared job that takes majority of our daily schedule and fixing a dedicated schedule for that is the first step. The rest of the time, we need to shift our focus to as much physical work we can do so that we don't get time to overthink and in the process get exhausted to have a nice sleep.

If you go to rural areas, you will find plenty of such people. Contrast to that, I don't see barely few guys in our apartment who even step out to walk - most are happy to swallow a tablet, to keep going.

I have a strong cravings for sweets and there I saw this man in his sixties carrying sugar bags and delivering to the shop.

I closely watched him and he has found out a niche way to lift those fifty kg bags and happily walk to deliver them. We will even get pinched by the idea of lifting such a heavy load - forget about doing that. The reason is our body has slowed down because of not doing physical work consistently and that creates a fear.

Some people (even my own kids) are even scared to step out of AC to avoid the scorching heat, but from my personal experience I feel it's more of a mindset - how do these people work hard then in the same conditions !!

So it's our mind that limits our capability and to win over the mind, we will have to keep working, pushing ourselves initially. Once you pass a certain level, then the mind will cooperate and agree to do more.

So Keep working, and don't overthink or listen to your mind. The mind can reach any place in this universe in one second - don't give it chance by engaging yourself in physical work as much as possible - that will take care of your wellness.
