Thomsen DK, Mehlsen MY, Christensen S, Zachariae R. Rumination—relationship with negative mood and sleep quality. Personality and Individual Differences. 2003;34(7):1293-1301. doi:10.1016/s0191-8869(02)00120-4 Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman is a book that explores the ways in which the human mind processes information and makes decisions. In the book, Kahneman discusses the concept of “System 1” and “System 2” thinking, which refer to two different modes of thinking that the mind uses. System 1 thinking is fast, automatic, and unconscious, while System 2 thinking is slower, more deliberate, and more logical.

The Joy of Living by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche According to Stoic philosophy, much of our suffering and stress comes from trying to control or change things that are beyond our control, such as the actions of others or the outcome of events. By learning to accept what is beyond our control and to focus on what we can control, we can reduce the tendency to get caught up in overthinking and find greater inner peace and fulfillment. This puts you in active, problem-solving mode. Stop waiting for someone to come and save you; think of ways to help yourself. If you can act, then act. If you don’t like something, have the courage to change it or remove yourself from the situation. Think of it this way: not acting is also a choice, and if you remain in a situation you don’t like, what does that say? This is a self-help book that teaches readers how to set and achieve their goals by adopting a positive and optimistic mindset. In the book, Schwartz argues that our thoughts and beliefs have a powerful impact on our actions and outcomes and that by thinking big and believing in ourselves, we can overcome obstacles and achieve our goals.
Now, I know what you’re thinking—surely it’s impossible to be truly proactive? After all, none of us is one hundred percent in control of our lives. This is true. Being proactive, however, doesn’t necessarily mean you always get your way; rather, it’s an orientation of mind and an attitude that says I can learn from mistakes. I can use my potential. I can try something new. In fact, a proactive person is also able to recognize when they don’t actually have an influence over outcomes, and they can comfortably relinquish control. This book teaches readers how to observe their thoughts without becoming attached to them. This practice, known as “thought watching,” involves becoming aware of your thoughts as they arise, without judging or reacting to them. Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman

A distracted and non-present mind is the biggest cause of unhappiness. It prevents us from seeing what possibilities lie before us. Life turns into a minefield rather than a set of new opportunities. Let’s return to the question: who is in control of your life? Well, it depends on you! You can choose to be in control of your own life, or you can forfeit that choice to others. The thing is, nobody can force you to take charge of your own life—you either embrace that agency or you fail to embrace it.
