Over-thinking

Last evening I practiced three new shaman learnings.  Today I am continuing my review of all 5 modules in order to solidify my understandings.  Next week I will begin offering sessions to friends and building my practice.  What I am finding is that my major hangup is - letting go and letting Spirit.  For me, a former control freak, letting go has been a real challenge, but it is coming - becoming free of the need to manage my life all by myself.   As I spend more time in the woods, walking the labyrinth, meditating, writing, and particularly "being" instead of doing, letting go gets to be less of a problem and more of a natural state.  It is truly amazing how this works.  All that needs to get done, gets done.  Even without my concentrating on it.   My stress level has gone to zero.  My contentment level has risen.  Events that in the past would have been a true stress-maker, aren't now.  For example, I broke the mirror on the driver's side when I was backing out of my friend's garage in NY - but simply duct-taped it on, drove the 900 miles home, made an appointment at the Toyota place on Monday, went in on Wednesday and had it replaced, and - none of this occupied more than a minute or two of my attention at any decision point.  As a matter of fact, the wait in the shop was so short I was shocked when they called my name.  Somehow, such matters have left my attention available for more pleasant pursuits.  One of my mantras now is "it is what it is."  This has been a big help in avoiding over-thinking.  Do you ever over-think?  Some things simply do not warrant much thought.  Others do.  Like watching a bird building her nest or a deer coming for a drink from the Pond, the duck waddling up to the bird feeders for seeds that have fallen to the ground.
