Living in Thailand has helped me to realize that over-thinking everything is bad. Thais often use a phrase that basically means, "don't think about it so much". The idea is to stop dwelling on problems in order to clear the mind and to feel at peace. It's not always easy to practice this way of thinking (or not thinking), but when you do, you'll feel a greater sense of contentment and well-being.
