Over-thinking and over-intellectualism are hiding everywhere in today's world. More and more of us suffer from anxiety, worrying about things out of our control.

Thinking is pretty nice. Getting lost in your thoughts is kind of... beautiful. Yet too much of anything, but especially thinking, can wreck one's psyche.
Here I'd like to introduce the concept of un-thinking. There are definitely many different names of that idea; it's simply all about cleaning your mind.

Finding what makes you tick into un-thinking is a fascinating process. For me, there's one word: nature.
Stop thinking now; you wont know when you've had enough.
