CONFESSIONS OF A RECOVERING OVERTHINKER


"Okay, maybe I'm overthinking..... But what if I'm not overthinking and something happens and my life is ruined forever?"
-Me, every night at approximately 2:04 AM

 I know, I know, last week I was on here talking to ya'll about shifting your energy and how we all need to take a chill pill sometimes. And here I am one week later talking about being a over-thinker. But how can we solve our problems if we don't address them, right?

 Sit down, it's time for ghetto therapy.

It's like this: There are good and bad sides to over-thinking. Ya'll want the good or the bad first?... Okay, I'll do the bad.

Over-thinking has made me many things:

1. A Procrastinator - Sometimes, I over-think things so much and get so overwhelmed that I just say forget it and go take a nap, then come back to it 5 seconds before I have to make a decision on it.

2. Late - I over-think everything, down to my outfits. I have had my shoes on, heading out (after changing clothes multiple times), caught a reflection of myself in the oven door and said "Naw, my legs look fat", went back to change and now I gotta go 150 mph to be on time.

3. Tired - Why does over-thinking come at night? I am in bed by 11 PM but somehow, I still find a way to stress over if my future man is going to leave me after he sees me with my retainers for the first time.

On the other side, it's good for some things:

1. Intuition - Over-thinking will help you to explore all outcomes before making any rash decisions. I have saved myself a lot of time and energy by allowing myself to think things through.

That's it. It's only good for one thing. It's one BIG thing though. See why I saved the good for last?

Ya'll, the moral of the story is, we still should probably chill out. Too much of anything is never good. Here's what I'm learning: If you can't solve it, let it go. If you can solve it, do it...then, let it go.

Will I follow my own advice? Will I continue to over-think? Will Chick-Fil-A ever open on a Sunday? Find out on the next webisode of #Aintbritfunny ....

See ya'll next week!

-BRIT

JUNE 24TH FOR THE 26TH TIME

"This year I turn 26, damn it seem it came so quick. My ass and legs have gotten thick." Those are words from the great Erykah Badu. I tweaked the age a little bit. Man, I can really relate to that line. If you didn`t know, I celebrated my 26th birthday on June 24, 2015. Every birthday that I`ve ever had, I`ve looked forward to. I planned parties, organized trips, time off from work, etc. But this birthday was different. It didn`t feel the same this year. Usually, I`m anticipating the 24th. "What am I gonna wear?", "I need to loose some weight!", "I need home girl to take my shift!" Nope. Not this year. I was in the airport traveling for work because I. NEED. MONEY. I spent the months before planning new insurance and thinking about how I`m only 4 years away from 30. I can`t even click the 18-25 age group on job applications now. I`m starting to think about stability and stuff. All the bagels and sandwich breads are going to my hips. I`m attrac...

SWIPE RIGHT FOR THE ONE TIME

" I need a date for Valentine's Day " or " Another Valentine's Day...Alone ." or " 2 more weeks til Valentine's Day, who's gonna be my date ?" First of all, why have we been stressing about this day since the end of December? Secondly, I need a "pre-date" before I go out with you on Valentine's Day. What if you end up being crazy? What if you're boring and I don't like you? Then when we go out, I end up seeing the guy that I really like. Now I gotta peace you out. You ain't about to mess up a potential marriage for me. Hell. As crazy as this may sound to you, I never really saw Valentine's Day as a day to be miserable and in my feelings about the man who's not here rubbing my feet. I do that on Tuesdays. I remember being a little girl seeing my daddy walk through the door with balloons, flowers, cards, teddy bears, candies and cakes for me and my mother every Valentine's Day. We could always expect ...

SHARING AIN'T CARING

" You need to post more " " Where are all of your videos " " People like to see, not read " " You need to step outside of your comfort zone " I get it. We live in a generation where most of us have the attention span of a two year old. Who wants to sit there and read four paragraphs of a blog? Who wants to read a paragraph of a status on Facebook? Hell, I don't know too many people who are still willing to sit on the phone for an hour and have a real conversation. What a time to be alive. It's hard being an artist or even a person these days, when you're not really a product of your generation. Let me explain to ya'll what I mean by that. Sit down, I won't keep you long. Let me just say, I get a lot of my "news" from social media just as much as the next person. However, I don't feel the need to comment or post about all of that news. I mean, half of the time, it's not even true.  The prob...
