If you don't give yourself a few hours every day of time alone during which you will be fully undistracted and solely focused on becoming who you need to be to accomplish your goals, you are not serious about your long-term vision, and you don't truly want peace of mind either.

Anxiety often means that you don't understand what "the right amount of thinking" is; you spend too much time in your own mind instead of having the courage to clarify the situation with calculated risks, and you have yet to understand that the most successful scenarios of your life never involve overthinking things:

A lot of people regularly feel tired because of their lack of emotional control. They get stressed out for no reason, they waste too much energy reacting unnecessarily, they don’t understand that staying calm is how you maintain a clear-minded, high-energy version of yourself.
