Sushi or Thai?
And 8 other things
you're over-thinking
Alison Goldman,Women's Health
What percent of your day would you say you spend worrying? Regardless of your
number, we're guessing that it could be a lot lower—because here's the thing: Certain
issues are definitely worth fretting about—but there might also be instances in which you
waste way too much energy pondering problems you can't fix or questions that have
easy answers. We all do it. And lady, your time is more valuable than that!
Check out the list below for nine things you're definitely over-thinking:
1. Whether or not you should
get the dramatic haircut.
Go for it! Because, fact:
Your hair will grow back.
2. Why your friend hasn't
liked your Instagram post
yet. It might be that she
hasn't signed on in the last
five min.
3. If your partner's parents
would like a bouquet of
tulips or hydrangeas better.
We think they'll appreciate
the gesture either way!
4. If anyone is noticing/
caring about your teeny zit.
Spoiler alert: They're not.
5. If you should go to the Thai
place or the Japanese place
for lunch. There will be
many more meals like this
one, we promise!
6. Whether you made a
mistake breaking up with
that guy you dumped six
months ago. Sometimes,
you've just got to own
whatever choice you
made—and move on.
7. If your boss took your
totally innocuous comment
the wrong way because
she seemed distracted
afterward. As one Disney
character would say, let it go.
8. Whether or not you should
go on a first date with the
person you're not sure
you're into. You'll either
have a nice time or get
some great party
story fodder—so
you can't lose!
9. If you should
kick off your
heels and dance
at the wedding
or keep them
on and look
properly put
together. Girl,
kick those
puppies off!
