The Wheel for When You're Alone and Thinking Too Much

I was just sitting there. Staring at the same browser tab I'd had open for three days. A cart full of things I didn't really need, but couldn't decide to buy or abandon.

That familiar loop in my head

It wasn't about the stuff. It was about the thinking. The endless pros and cons that just circled back on themselves. Should I, shouldn't I. What if, what then.My brain felt like a browser with too many tabs open. All of them frozen. None of them useful. Just a low hum of indecision.

Letting something else decide

I remembered the wheel. Not for a party. For this. For the quiet overthinking that happens when you're alone with your thoughts for too long.I didn't want advice. I didn't want to think anymore. I just wanted the noise to stop for a second. To have the next thing be decided for me, so I could just do it.It felt like a small act of surrender. A tiny release of control I never really had in the first place.

The quiet after the spin

The wheel stopped. The instruction was simple, clear. A small, concrete action that had nothing to do with my original problem.And for a moment, the loop was broken. The cart could wait. My thoughts finally had somewhere else to go.
