Anais Nin describes introspection as a monster who chews too long on a morsel, only to achieve mastication and wither all it touches.
During her stay in New York, it was all action, as she had no time for thought or meditation. Thinking too much or thinking of the wrong things or in destructive ways leads to anger, jealously, self-doubt because our imaginations take over. If instead, we seek out intimate friendships, dancing, laughing, talking with others, sleeping, we avoid this constant examination, awareness, consciousness, depression.
Just live, love, become absorbed in the world outside yourself, give yourself up, forget introspection.
