I think you said it perfectly here: "Perhaps any path would have been the right one—some longer, some shorter, but all paths lead out of a forest in the end. Unless, of course, you’re walking in circles." I tend to make decisions quickly (an asset until it becomes a liability!) You can always turn around and go back and/or choose another path. Just have to make sure you aren't walking in circles - unless that's the goal ;)
Tending to make decisions quickly sounds wonderful! Overthinking creates so much stress in the body and I feel it's because it's piling up and piling up and piling up and so the feeling is like it can't hold anymore thoughts and it's going to explode. It's absolutely fascinating when the decision is finally made. There's that immediate exhale, shoulders drop, belly expands. Even if you're not sure it was the right call, there's immediate lightness as you make your first step on the path you've chosen.
