4 Simple Tips To Overcome Overthinking

I Was a Regular to Overthinking.

Did I realize that I was overthinking?

A few Times, Yes.

So, what did I do?

I started overthinking why I was Overthinking.

The Hell and Rabbit Hole You Don’t Want to Fall Into.

Trust Me. It Only Gets Worse From There.

By The Time I Thought of Overcoming It,

The Whole Day Was Gone Up Smoke.

How do I stop this?

As a Beginner,

I Started Noting Down Four Things

1. What Time of The Day?

2. What am I Doing At The Time?

3. What Type Of Things Am I Overthinking About?

4. How Many Times a Day Am I Overthinking?

1. Time of the Day:

When am I overthinking?

Morning, Right When I Wake Up? Once I Started Working,?

A Few Hours into Work? Etc..

After a Few Days or 2–3 Weeks of Noting These Down,

You will start seeing a pattern.

I found out that I was overthinking at 1 particular time in my day.

1-1.5 Hrs Post Lunch

How to Overcome?

2. What I was doing:

Working continuously for 3–4 hours straight also caused me to deviate again.

And Start Thinking About Something Else Altogether.

How To Overcome This?

I go for a Walk. Listen to Music.

Watch Some Funny Videos, etc.

When I feel Refreshed, I Start Again.

3. What Type Of Things I Was Overthinking About?

You can Divide Overthinking into Two parts

Positive Overthinking:

Good and Happy Dreams, When Taken Too Far

Become Illusions You Put Yourself In.

The Illusions, which take you nowhere without action.

Negative Overthinking:

Thinking about all the things that could go wrong

Either in Life, Work, Health anything.

How to Overcome?

All that matters is giving your best.

4. How Many Times a Day Am I Overthinking?

If It is One Too Many, which happened to me a few times due to workload.

Read This:

YOU. ARE. OVERWHELMED.

Your Mind Hurts before you begin thinking.

You physically feel pain without doing anything yet that day.

You are Feeling Psychosomatic Pain

Psychosomatic pain is a disorder induced by excessive stress or mental issues.

Naming it might be overwhelming. But it is real.

As real as it gets.

Your Company does not give a sh*t about what happens to you.

All They need is results.

So what should you do to overcome this?

BREATHE. RELAX.

REST. TAKE A DAY OFF.

That is the least you could do for yourself.

Thanks for reading! Good Luck.

Until next time, PEACE!!
