Episode Details

Are you overcomplicating it? Nobody noticed my dark green shirt today. Most of what we agonise over was never being watched in the first place.

A friend of mine got told something at 18 that made him want to punch the person, and it turned out to be the best advice he ever had. The story does not have to be written. When the curveball lands on a Tuesday at four o'clock, you can sit with it rather than start the narrative. I am giving you permission to do nothing with what arises, including with this episode.

One thing to try: Over the next hour, catch yourself once and ask whether you are overcomplicating it. Usually you are.
