I was the opposite. I thought CONSTANTLY. Overthought, think think think all the bloody time. Stayed awake deep into the night thinking, following my thoughts in loops like a donkey following a carrot on a stick. I believed they meant something, that they were important, that if they were interesting, I should follow them. Spent a lot of years chasing my own tail inside my own head. So to speak.
I do remember clearly the day I realised, rather suddenly, that I was not THINKING. I was sitting quietly in the car on a pleasant suburban street waiting for school to let out and I was just THERE. Present. Not thinking, not imagining, not worrying, nothing. Just as quiet as can be inside my own head. And when I realised it, my first thought was, "Oh my God, I'm not thinking! Uh, well, I am now..."
I can stop thinking at will now. I normally don't because I do enjoy it, but sometimes it all gets to be too much and I just stop doing it for a while. And life goes on and things still get solved and done and finished and so on. And I used to think thinking was soooo important....
May the light surround you, may you be blessed. May the light surround us, may we be blessed. May love and light surround us all, and may we all be healed and blessed. And so it is, and so it shall be, now and ever after.
