Yeah I like that last photo, too =) It is taken with my mobile phone camera with timer. And since my phone doesn't have a tripod, I used a make-shift camera stand; I wrapped a piece of winter clothing on top of a tree stump, and then placed the camera so that it stands supported by the wrapped cloth. Because of that arrangement I really couldn't preview the picture, I just approximately placed the camera facing intended direction and took several shots hoping for one good shot, and turns out I got lucky =)

Ah hah - I'm afraid there isn't a simple answer to your question about considering teh consequencies. I'll try to point few things for you to think about:

- Are the likely consequencies severe and irreversible? If yes, then it probably is wise to ponder carefully before committing any irreversible big things. But if it more like choosing between two different paths, both paths probably having future forks to choose from, then it might be much more wise just to go with intuition and feeling without over-thinking.

- Sometimes it helps to turn the question around. Instead of thinking "should I do X", ask yourself "how would I feel if I don't do X? What are my reasons for not doing X?" And if it turns out that your reasons of not doing X aren't that strong, then just go ahead and do the thing X and see where it takes you.

- If you throw a rock at a window, the likely consequence is that the window will be broken and needs to be replaced. Yes, but most of the situations in our life are far more complex, and the consequences aren't easy to predict. So, ask yourself that how strong evidence you have for predicting the likely outcome of each decision. If it turns out that in any case the consequences are unpredictable, then just go ahead and follow your intuition.

- I think I described something like that also in the "Damn Right Honey"-post, where it is not that much about over-thinking on the rational level, but different layers and aspects of my emotional side disagreeing and weighing the different wishes and fears. I'd guess that if we look closely, many of our decision are like that. Overthinking might just be a symptom of having mixed feelings, so in such a case "just don't rationalize it and follow your heart" doesn't work, if your heart speaks in contradicting voices =) If that is the case, I suggest things like taking a long walk and letting your emotions to settle by themselves, and then eventually at a moment of any kind of clarity just making your mind and sticking with your decision. As, in life, there anyway will be different decisions with different outcomes and you can't have them all, and you can't avoid making choices. So sometimes you just have to wait for a right moment and then throw yourself to one unknown direction among the many unknown directions =)
