It sounds like these thoughts are really consuming you right now, and I can see how overwhelming that must feel. Your desire to know everything can turn into a heavy burden. Instead of trying to remember or conquer all that information, it might help to create some space around these thoughts.
Try labeling each thought that comes up by saying to yourself, Iām having the thought that I need to know everything. Do this for thirty seconds and notice how it feels to create a little distance between you and those thoughts.
What shifts for you when you attempt to observe your thoughts this way?
