Not everyone will understand us. We just have to do what we think is best. What our discernment is telling us. How the Holy Spirit is guiding us. It is always nice to run into another person like ourselves but mostly I have resigned myself to the fact that I don’t think the same way as others but that doesn’t mean I am wrong. 😊. I like the leaves on your embroidery very much. They add a lot of charm to the project.
The leaves enhance your picture! I design jewelry+ I often try different designs over a few weeks until I really like the creation. Keep overthinking as your creativity is spot on!
Hi Ilona, absolutely love your sewing, beautiful, you are extremely creative. Overthinking can be a nightmare. I am the same myself and find it really hard to turn my brain off😂 I'm trying to do this mindfulness business and stay in the moment. Lovely to hear from you, All the best xxx
Your friend must have meant well in saying you are an over-thinker, but what seems comfortable and natural for her is not what feels comfortable and natural for you. Perhaps the real situation is that she is an under-thinker? But that seems natural for her. My opinion is that we should accept people as they are, not be critical of them when they are not identical to us.
Agree. I say I think like the old 8-track cassettes. Lots of thoughts running at once and switching. I wouldn't call it over thinking just thinking. Like you the mind doesn't turn off. Maybe your friend doesn't want to think about things or do many things? I'm eating my lunch and watching you right now. Also when I exercise/clean/crafting/get ready for the day with a video or podcast going at the same time. My to do list is longer than my life span the way it should be. You're not overthinking, nor should you stop trying to do the things you are doing. Thanks for the video.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong Ilona with your thinking. There’s absolutely nothing wrong in what your doing. Life is short and I believe you are an inspiration of not wasting time. I think these friends are actually jealous 🤣
Hello lovely Ilona….if you are over thinking then everyone else is not. You bring attention to the topics or thoughts that many don’t stop to actually think about. Question everything and thank God and your mother for the common sense to use the your brain! Stay safe and healthy ♥️🌴🇺🇸
Sometimes my brain will switch off other times not especially if I’m working on an idea and the story is playing out through my head. Not in dreams but thinking. This I need to stop. I need to write this story down so it stays out of my head. Then it’ll probably make way for the next story x
I feel you have a gift from God. You're thinking helps you create....taking discarded items, turning it into beautiful art and sharing it and your ideas with others. Not everyone has that gift. We love you the way you are.
My father said this to me recently when I was talking about the state this country is in, I think that’s code for its a hard, upsetting, worrying topic and I’d rather bury my head in the sand! In fact he did say later he was burying his head in the sand, at eighty and with a few health problems suppose it’s understandable.
I’m often needed for babysitting duties, so my daughter can work and I have a husband who needs attention. If I lived on my own I’d be just like you, creative and able to switch off
Yes I think you should continue with the leaves on the stems. You have an active brain and you are what we call “can do IIlona” Don’t change you are a very interesting person
The fact that you sleep tells me you have a healthy balance.. Thinking exercises the brain, your walks, and your many projects are all part of motivating you ... I'd say you're doing just fine 😊
Love your hairstyle. Very becoming on you . Ha!! I am Queen of “over-thinking”- a variety of thoughts racing my mind all competing for ‘ top billing’ ( bit of Levity there) I have a friend whom I have NEVER seen sit and read a book even. Her mind is so active she does not even sleep at night . She never “switches off” . Just do as you do - Ilona. It’s actually good for your brain . At least you are not depressed and able to move on .. Love your sewing project !! I love the leaves ! It will be finished when it’s finished . ❤ Xx Marilyn
If your friend said you overthink things then you said 'I never thought of that' obviously you dont overthink things. You've got critical thinking skills which is missing in nearly everyone in the world, if more people thought things out properly, we probably wouldn't be in the mess the world is in now 👍
Critical thinkers are often told they “overthink” by those without the ability to think critically. As a critical thinker I would say those that cannot are actually “under thinking”, they happily agree with what others tell them… x
This overthinking....being wrapped in our own thoughts and ideas....comes from living/ being alone a lot. Yes...one of the side effects of this type lifestyle🧏🏻
I am the same always thinking and I never seem to switch off. I also am creative I am either crocheting, crafting, knitting, learning things on RU-vid or going to my yoga and fitness classes. At night I read I can't stand doing nothing.x
The new hair colour suits you. You are going 'about it' the right way for you.... I am having 'enforced' slow down at the moment due to a hip injury I am very frustrated.... garden is doing it's own thing, decorating isn't getting done. can't walk far ( driving me totally bonkers!! but at least I can still sew and have visitors and I have called in a few favours regarding transport as I can't drive very far for now.... Like you I am always trying to find things I can do... If we wake up this side of the sod, it's a good day!!
Yes, you are correct in what you said. I’m the same way. Thinking is how we figure things out. There’s no such thing as overthinking as long as it is not making us anxious or depressed. It is healthy to use what we have, physically, mentally, spiritually. I’m very active and I’m thankful that I am able to do things with what I have left. Jack LaLanne lived to be 93 and said we don’t die from too much activity, but from under activity. It’s good to see you again. You are young and vibrant and keep on going. ❤️
I don't think you overthink. You have a very active busy mind. As for multi tasking, starting one thing, and going over to something else, I do that all the time. I love the leaves that you have put on that picture. You just carry on with where your thinking takes you.
2 things came to my mind as you were speaking. My father (who is no longer with us) was somewhat paranoid-- but he had been through WW2-- but I saw him as someone who wrote poetry when he was younger and no longer wrote. So I kind of think that creative people who don't create become paranoid. It's all in your head. Number 2 is that you see a picture and I see the back of a red jacket. It's beautiful by the way. Overthinking is not bad, but think about solutions while you're at it! Who can switch off? Hello from Ontario!
