As a 47-year-old woman dealing with compulsive planning, I’ve often found myself constantly thinking ahead and trying to control every aspect of my life. It’s exhausting and at times overwhelming. Through therapy and self-reflection, I’ve come to realize that life is unpredictable, and trying to plan for every possible outcome only adds to my stress. I’ve been practicing mindfulness and trying to embrace the present moment more. It’s been a journey of self-discovery and learning to let go of the need for constant control. I’ve found that taking things one day at a time and allowing myself to go with the flow has brought more peace and joy into my life. It’s not always easy, and there are still days when the urge to plan takes over, but I’m making progress. If anyone else struggles with compulsive planning, know that you’re not alone and that there is hope for finding a healthier balance.
