Don't Overthink It: Make Easier Decisions, Stop Second-Guessing, and Bring More Joy to Your Life by Anne Bogel
3.0
Since I preordered this book I received the audiobook for free. I enjoyed it but I don't know that I learned anything new and I don't know that I will worry less but time will tell. Anne Bogel has such a soothing voice and that is why I wanted the audio version. There are some great takeaways from this book though. One of the things is to show up for people you care about. I have always believed this. There are a lot of events I go to when I would rather stay home, but it is important to someone I love, so I go. My book will still be there when I get home. Another one I know I should do, but don't always do is finish the cycle-complete the whole task:
Sort the mail as soon as you bring it inside- I pull the bills out and the junk mail piles up on the counter.
Paying bills when you receive them-of course I don't
Filing important papers before they get buried-they always get buried on the counter
Hanging up your coat when you walk in the door-I'm the only one that does this
Adding something to the grocery list as soon as you run out- I do try to do this
Folding laundry and putting it away immediately- sometimes
The point is if you just always do these things, you won't worry about them later. What we think about matters and it takes up other things we could be thinking about or just relaxing with a good book. At the end of the book Anne shares a benediction from her pastor at church:
'May you be peaceful, happy, and light in body and spirit. May you live in safety. May you be free from anxiety and worry. May you learn to look at yourself with the eyes of understanding and love. May you be able to recognize and touch the seeds of joy and happiness in yourself. May you know how to nourish the seeds of joy in yourself every day. May you be able to live fresh, solid, and free.'
