What Writing is Teaching Me About Thinking and Overthinking?

No, can't now. I can't bear the stress to think a lot about each and everything anymore. Mental fatigue always hits hard whenever I get stuck in a thought loop. Imagining for self is good, but a lot is worthless.
Writing has made it possible for me to recognise whether my thoughts are in a loop or unlooped. Calmness is required for new thoughts to come into existence, not for previous ones' discussion within the brain. Thinking about a single thought has sometimes ruined my creativity to think something new.
On this writing journey, I understood the difference both thinking and overthinking carry. Before, I used to think both were the same, only the word “over” differentiates them. Surely, it does, but the one means creativity and the other means dullness, laziness, rigidity, etc. Overthinking always disturbs my creativity.
Now I know how self-awareness helps in handling this unimaginative, uncreative thing. I learned that clarity over every single view is a must, but that shouldn't be the reason for confusion for myself.
I write and erase again and again for clarity; through this my brain thinks new every time. I don't allow my brain to stick to a single thought. Writing has saved me from over-analysis of views. However, analysis I do before publishing the blog.
I noticed a big change from day one to today. Now a single thought doesn't revolve over and over again in the blogs. Now for every learning there are different perspectives and different blogs too. I'm trying to be raw and honest in each blog so that I can't stress over it thinking again and again.
Uniqueness comes through imagination, not through over-imagination. Through thinking we could imagine whatever we want; on the other hand, overly doing it could ruin everything.
