How to stop overthinking everything & find
peace– Letter to an overthinking mind
By Yana Ducreay
As much as there are reasons to be afraid, there are also reasons to be hopeful, to keep on walking even in the unknown, to know that you are worthy and you belong"
Hey, my loves
If im being quite honest with you as I usually am, I’d like to believe there is beauty within uncertainty–you know, having a positive outlook on the unknown. But my overthinking mind overshadows that possibility all too well.
I can’t possibly see the beauty that lies within continued anxiety & depression stemming from “The Unknowing.”
It’s difficult, really, having no clue what seasons lay ahead, the battles you may, or may not have to face, heartbreaks you will have to heal from, and its scars that may never be fully healed.
Conversely, the fulfillment that glistens your soul after being able to smile again. All the beautiful people you’ll meet and eventually fall in love with.
The contentment within your purpose, and absolute euphoria after finding your version of new opportunities and absolute peace.
The future is quite unpredictable, and you may never know which season is next which to me, is absolutely terrifying.
Within those moments of uncertainty, it’s hard to tame an overthinking mind. But somehow, in those moments, I’m reminded of the law of polarity– there is an opposite to everything.

Everything has a duality and a built-in opposite that cannot exist without the other. If one side has the potential to exist by the law of polarity, the opposite expression has to exist also.
I seek comfort in knowing that God created a world of balance.
In as much as something bad lies within your lifetime of tomorrows, something good could also lie within it, and there is no possible way of knowing which one may be your portion.
As much as I’m scared of all the bad that will happen, there will also be an equal amount of good.
I’m learning that it’s okay to not know the end to the beginning since It’s impossible to predict life and its seasons.
Living a life of uncertainty is terrifying to me, but it’s normal to be scared of the unknown.
Its okay to plan, while letting go of obsessing over life’s outcome. It’s impossible to predict what the future will bring.
So I guess “now” is all we have. Life’s present. There is no guarantee of tomorrow and forever doesn’t last since death is the only thing sure in life.
I’m learning to let go and let God while living in the present– it is life’s gift since tomorrow is not ours.

Ode to my overthinking mind:
What is meant for you will never miss you, skip you, forget you, look past you or leave you behind. You should never try to squeeze or shrink to fit into spaces because what’s meant for you will always have enough room to receive you, all of you.
It’s okay to not have everything figured out. It’s okay to slow down and smell the roses & its more than okay to rest without feeling guilty.
There will be days where you don’t feel like yourself and that’s okay. You don’t have to love everyday, nor do you have to pretend to be okay.
Take life one day at a time, sometimes one hour or one minute at a time if you have to. But do not forget the lesson God is teaching you through your seasons. They may be hard to accept and appreciate, but you will grow from them.
All my love
Anay
