I agree with this clarification. As an overthinker, I tend to give WAY too much importance to every choice, action and word of mine - often things that don’t deserve that level of mental energy. It’s important to recognize what truly echoes and shapes our lives, but it’s equally vital to find peace in knowing what doesn’t - what isn’t entirely our responsibility and what mostly exists in our minds.

Learning not to be too hard on ourselves can be life-saving.
