The light at the end of the tunnel TAPMI. I often find myself in the nook of the room immersed in my own thoughts.I have a world of my own,woven with strings of thoughts.I wander into different parallels of thoughts and have the innate quality of coming back and still look attentive.Yes these are signs that I am an over-thinker.Like Christopher Nolan quotes it :"A Dream in a dream".My constant struggle so far has been to be mentally present in whatever task I am doing.Well this habit of mine was more pronounced and prominent when there was a flurry of events happening together:losing my dearest grandmother to a cardiac arrest,A major implementation at work and CAT preparation all happening at the same time 6 months ago. I had the clock ticking in terms of tremendous pressure at work for a delivery which could cost my company's product its reputation in the market since all the competitors with ready to roll-out a new change.I was juggling my office duties and the approaching competitive exams when I am struck with the news about my Grandma passing away.My plate was already full and now suddenly it was brimming with emotions and anxiety.The over-thinker that I had kept at bay for a long time,since she was doing no good to me,came alive just making me question even the simplest things in life and running in infinite loops.I have always pulled myself out of situations by clearing my thoughts and pulling the strings attached and questioning the status quo of the over-thinker. This time around it took a little longer but I somehow managed to do it and I always will.Over thinking for me has been a good tool in terms of over analysis when needed,where I make sure every speck of the universe is examined but mostly it has caused me anxiety,stressed relationships,lack of focus and delayed attainment of goals.However I have emerged victorious out of my though paralysis and evidently I have achieved what I had set foot on:The successfully delivered project,MBA in a prominent b-school and most importantly a HAPPY me.
