Which superstitions are affecting your life?
What do you do in the first minutes of your morning? What about the first hour? It seems that our morning has the power to decide our day. Do you pay attention to it? Due to my tight schedule, lately I’m not paying so much attention to my morning routine as I used... Continue Reading →
What’s the best thing about being a human?
Troy Headrick's personal blog can be found at Thinker Boy: Blog & Art. In politics, I’m something of a progressive extremist. But in my approach to living, I’d say I’m something of a moderate.

What does depression mean to you?
This is the form of therapy that we benefit the most, as bloggers. If we think about it, that’s why the writers write. They want to express what’s inside them and this eases their inner universe.

First of all, I'd like to apologize for not publishing on here for the last three weeks or so... I had a rough couple of days and needed a little break. But I'm back, so let's get to it! 🙂 It was someday during this week that I had started a 15 thread long LinkedIn... Continue Reading →
When was the last time you had a full relaxing day?
Hey there! Let’s get back to some language talk today. Let’s talk about language families. So, first, what is a language family?

Which question do you keep asking yourself, but you cannot find an answer to it?
Uhm, no, I haven’t invented the word. It’s something that goes way back to King Ramses, but it didn’t had this weird name (source - Wikipedia).

What would you like to see on Pointless Overthinking that can help you improve your life?
It’s Driving Us Nuts There’s your brain, 👆 blasted to nuts. Thoughts are thoughts. No more, but thoughts. And above all, they are not yours! We take every thought with a straight face. It is the main cause of our mental imbalance. An imbalance that we can’t see, but is there. It has become very common and thus,... Continue Reading →
The more specific I try to be in my speech, the more ambiguity I can notice in how my phrases initially try to come out. It’s interesting how something as common as language can create so many different thoughts and ideas, which can modify our behavior. Because of this, I’m reblogging my post about...

What circumstances create the most anxiety for you?
In the search of creating a post, I stumbled across this video that reminded me something I often forget: perfection is a self-imposed standard impossible to achieve. But we all want to achieve it in whatever we do. It’s healthy to strive for perfection, but it’s not healthy to expect to achieve it.... Continue Reading →
