Don't make things more complicated than they are. Just that. And sometimes things are simply simple, really. Reflecting is all nice and well, but if you give it too much space, it paralyses you, and kills ypour degrees of freedom. You can't act then, and you can't acchieve an effect anymore. I have been meditation teacher for years, and saw plenty of this: crazy thinkers who did not had their thinking under control, or crazy dreamers who spend all day sitting on a cushion, thinking that would develope their spirituality and mind. The first have their brain already blowing up whenever you have a sharp look at them, the latter are living zombies who only move if you call and fix a date three days ahead. Believe me, I know what I speak of!
