Overthinking is a silent killer of Anand. It dries your energy, crippling decision making, and often causes problems that do not exist. When your brain starts the race with “what ifs” and “haves haves”, it is important to anchor yourself with clarity and calm ideas.
Here are 10 powerful quotes that can help calm the noise in your brain and give rise to a more positive, peaceful mindset:
