If you feel that your body is constantly tired, stiff, or sore, you may be overweight, but we’re not talking about an increase in physical volume, or an increase in the cranial perimeter, but an overweight mental. , inert and unproductive thoughts.
During the day, do we imagine, understand, think, create, calculate, make decisions?In short, we live thinking. But not all thoughts are valid or useful, in fact, sometimes we think too unnecessarily and produce an overload of useless thoughts.
