Such an incredible waste of time and energy to be obsessing about decisions already made, when there are so many new and potentially exciting ones out there waiting to be made!

Humans are remarbale not simply because of the cognitive plannin g skills and executive functions. Admittedly, a downside is obsessive rumination afterwards whether or not that was the BEST choice. But mostly because we rely on being able to imrovise as needed thereafter to consider the remaining BATNA’s (Best Alternative to a Negotiated Agreement). I just read that Monarch butterflies need milkweed, and when that is scare they may live only 2-3 weeks after emerging the cocoon. But ones born into more plentiful availability can migrate to Mexico and survive for many months sojourn. A lot depends on where you are and where where you ultimately hope to get to. Sadly, there are 90% fewer Monarchs now than when I was a kid with a net chasing them because environmental changes (human-made) have used up places for milkweed. So it’s a combination of where you are and ingenuity (instinctual or cognitive) how you continue to find what you need in the moment to get on with it.
