Do you know what a left brain trapped intellectual is? Your question presupposes the existence of a correct answer to every situation. You could play with all sorts of interesting practice around this. Keep a journal:
first day flip a coin, heads yes do it immediately, tales no let it ride
second day flip the channel or pick up a book and read at random, use it like a fortune cookie, do whatever randomness suggests
third day do the opposite of whatever you think you should
fourth day reevaluate and read your journal, what FEELS most comfortable
A therapist once strongly pointed out for me what Jeena is saying. A feeling is a nudge an intution about the correct response
anger means “i’d rather not” “not for me”
boredom means “myeh”
Happiness means “pursue”
If you get stressed after thinking of a problem, that is not Feeling, that is not your mind, or the universe, that is dysfunctional thought. Just practice letting it go or play with it. ; )
PS my brain is on overdrive as well, try music or Khan academy!
