Overthinking involves thinking about a certain thing or situation excessively, analyzing it for long periods of time. When you overthink, you have a hard time getting your mind to focus on anything else. Overthinking becomes consumed by the one thing you are thinking about. It is a big distraction and disruption to daily living.
Overthinking can be a hard habit to break.
1. Change the way you talk to yourself
Over thinkers always say negative things to themselves.
2. Let go of the past
– Over thinkers keep thinking “I should have done this” “I should not have done that.”
– You cannot change the past.
3. Live in the present moment.
– Learn the lessons from your past and make sure you do not repeat the same mistake again.
– Overthinkers find it hard to live in the present moment. Past or future is always on their mind
– focus on the current moment
4. Challenge your thoughts
– Over thinkers get lost in their thoughts, it need not always be past or future.
– if you find a thought that is unwanted passing by inside your head, immediately write it down in your journal and get it out of your system.
5. Focus on what you can control
– Over thinkers always worry about the things that is not in their control.
– Focus on the positive things you can do.
– Take one small baby step forward at a time.
– Seek progress, not perfection.
– Take one day at a time.
6. Identify Your fears
– Over thinkers have irrational fears; they are not logical and not reasonable.
– you tend to suffer from imagination of “what if” than in reality.
– Take action! The moment you take action is the moment you win a battle with your overthinking.
7. Write down solutions
– Over thinkers keep thinking only of their problems
– Divert your thinking towards the solutions.
– Write down the problems and the solution for each problem in your journal.
– This way, your brain shifts its attention towards the solution.
