New perspective

I've always thought that my tendancy to over-planning events in my life was a sign of being organized and anticipating the unexpectd. I was informed last night that this over-planning and planning for the worst thing I do is overwhelming. If someone would have told me this before the first 3 decades of my life, that would have been great. Now I have to figure out some way not to overwhelm those that I care about most.

But I wonder if people realize how hard it is for people to stop living in "survival mode". For so long, planning for the unexpected and planning for the worst in life is what kept me alive. Now to put a stop to it, is going to be harder than I thought.
