You sound like me so much. I over think everything. I have actually considered becoming a Buddhist to try and shut my mind off for a little while through meditation. I tend to have a very hard time doing things unless I spend a ton of time reasoning through whether or not I should do it. Most of the time when I decide I missed the boat.

You don't need to "become a Buddhist". Just expose yourself to some of their ways of thinking. Also, practice (= meditation).
You'll pick a lot of this up as you get older, as well. It's a natural maturation process. I've been out of college for 7 years now, and am just starting to feel like I'm understanding mindfulness. Granted, I've wasted many of those years...
