Actually I enjoy thinking, especially about mind-blowing metaphysical quandries that make me feel like a part of something bigger. I throw in some hard scientific cosmological lines of reasoning for good measure. (What is time? Are there other dimensions? Where do wormholes lead?) Sometimes I'm more spiritaul, and think about whether that dream I had last night about my deceased father was actually him speaking to me. And that leads me to imagine what it might be like on the other side.
What is unhealthy is rumination, or obsessive thinking about problems in your life. If you focus on solutions and then let it go, that's ok. If it is something you can't change, whether it be the death of a loved one or a war. Something that is out of your power to solve, it's ok to grieve for a while. But after a while you must let it go. It only leads to self-destruction.
