Thanks to you both. As far as reading advice articles and list of things to do/not do/try, etc. I guess I do only seek them out when something is up. IE 8 Things to Give Up, in my head, only applies when I’m feeling over-whelmed. Probably good practice to read insightful articles and books, so matter the frame of mind.

Anita- While I do feel it applies, I’m wondering where we draw the line… That is, I am constantly thinking and over-analyzing, so it’s difficult to know when to consider something as being helpful/useful vs. it simply being what it is (a meaningless, wandering thought).

I suppose the place to start would be to identify those things we know about ourselves (i.e. self-conscious) and ponder or recognize the times we act or think in self-conscious ways… like a one step at a time approach, regardless of current mind-state (whether I feel good about myself or not). Then move onto the next emotional “flaw” that needs attention. What do you think?
