You do a lot of work so that you can step back and STOP and assume that all the work you did is in your unconscious brain and will come out, needless of being conscious of it. Sort of like typing. You don't need to think e-a-c-h l-e-t-t-e-r as you type anymore because you did the work before.<BR/><BR/>Also: this (wonderful) story reminds me of the time I was on the street in New York and a life-coach -type guru came up to me and a friend started talking about how he was psychic and could tell I was an actor but needed an outlet, etc. When he left my friend was amazed. "How did he KNOW??". I pointed out that a) I was wearing a button with the image of Shakespeare on it, and b) I'm an actor--we ALL need an outlet. Part of the job description!<BR/><BR/>Oy. At least this guy didn't have a stuffed-animal humping dog with him....Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03651786489593529570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20440172.post-3310028585059564472007-10-08T08:10:00.000-07:002007-10-08T08:10:00.000-07:00Gasp!

Just kidding... if nothing else, you got a really funny story for your blog.<BR/><BR/>I don't think there is such a thing as overthinking. I think that's what inarticulate people call thinking without acting. (Wow, that was really harsh... you're beginning to rub off on me.) :)<BR/><BR/>Although the thing about being alone vs. being alone in a relationship is pretty cool. I'll have to think about that some more...Allisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00279405041089446774noreply@blogger.com
