making sense in sensory overload

the year of the horse

I'm jealous of people who go for what they want out of their life. For an example, if someone says that they want to build a book club - they just go for it. There doesn't seem to be the learning part, just the doing part.

Sometimes I'm embarrassed and frustrated that my perfectionist tendencies tend to get into the way of doing and achieving things. I tend to overthink, overanalyze, and eventually think my way out of things before even starting them or being consistent with them.

As much as I understand that there is the other side of this perfectionist coin, that the overthinking and preparing can be beneficial in some ways, I still fail to see how I can use that other side of the coin to thrive.

How do you deal with the desire to do something, whilst at the same time, debilitated by your own pushbacks?


2026 is the year of the horse and it is believed to be a year of forward momentum, moving confidently in the direction of growth and change.

The horse energy is something I wish to embody for myself - to grow and thrive way beyond what I think I'm capable of. There's just a strong desire to make more out of myself and I just need to start.. somewhere.
