overthinking

Potential Adverse vents:
Living a life of the mind (may also be referred to as living in one's head)
Contraindications may include perseverance of thoughts, often trivial and insignificant in the grand scheme of things. If unable to exit the mind, the body may become overworked and eventually completely exhausted and poop out. Important thoughts may no longer be identifiable among the soft background din of thoughts flowing into each other to the extent that they lose their individual colors and become a soft, hazy gray.

While sleep may often serve to quiet mind (at wavelengths audible to the conscious mind), at times the background noise of constant thought may prove more powerful and intrude into sleep time, quite often in the middle hours of darkness or early hours of light.

Periods of meditation may be necessary in these situations to relieve the mind for short periods, its sole salvation in extreme measures.

A feeling of peace may replace active thought. The absence of usual feelings of joy or elation should not be confused with nothingness but must instead be appreciated as the bliss of meditation. The swaying last night in the lush seats of Carnegie Hall to a beautiful Mendelssohn piece, having forgotten to think for those moments, that was a peaceful quieting of the mind.
