This book is a guide to lightening the heart when you're depressed and feeling "scared of tomorrow," providing the spark needed to look forward again.

**Overthinking Advisory: My Grand Plan to Lift Myself Up**
*You don't have to hold a reflection session alone anymore.*

Those who become anxious from overthinking are often the most considerate and responsible people. However, the more you think, "What if this happens?" or "What if that happens?" the more the anxiety grows. If left unchecked, an "overthinking advisory" is issued in your heart. Negative delusions can take over, robbing you of the energy to face tomorrow. For those nights when you're so down you can't sleep, please lean on this book.

Inside, you'll find Rumi's secrets on how to overcome the feeling of "it's over" without overthinking. From bullying, scams, and autonomic nervous system disorders to divorce, joblessness, and a zero bank balance—Rumi, the legendary gal who survived the heart of the Heisei gal boom, has painted over every desperate adversity with a "shaa nai!" (it is what it is), "nantoka narussho!" (it'll work out), and "torima, yattemiyo!" (let's just try it).

"Anxiety and worries are part of you, but it's okay not to be perfect." This book is packed with hints to "maximally lift yourself up," offering many words that will make you think, "maybe I don't need to overthink this much."
