HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING

Overthinking is simply the act of thinking about something too much or for too long. it is also a state of mind when the mind is ruminating on thoughts,past/future events,ideas...etc which will lead to creating a loop of worries,stress and anxiety.

Generally overthinking is caused by the person's inner struggles like fear,lack of self worth,self doubt and low self esteem.

Here are tips to help you get rid of overthinking habits:

1-Be aware of your thoughts

pay attention to your thoughts pattern because this will make you gain control over it,try to identify each thought and trace it back to the moment of its creation.then ask and answer yourself honestly about why and how you are thinking this way.mostly,it is deeply related to your limited beliefs and inner struggles.

2-Let go of what you can't control

examine your thoughts and suurender to the fact that you have no control over certain things,so worrying and overanalysing it wouldn't change the situation.instead, focus on what you can control or change at the present moment and take immediate action afterwards.

3-Focus on the solution

begin to shift your attention to finding a solution rather than just keep ruminating the situation in your mind.this will change your perspective about facing triggering situations or problems and save your time and energy.

4-Eliminate "what if's"

you should deeply believe that things work by a divine plan that you can't see right away,whether you're overthinking past or future events,if you're wondering if you have acted differently maybe things would've been better now,then the only thing you can do now is trust that whatever happened was meant to be.however for future events,all you can do "now" is take action and believe that whatever would  happen tomorrow is meant to be too..

5-You attract what you think

our mind is more powerful than we might think,so if you are thinking positively about a future event and imagining all what could go right rather than what could go wrong,you are embodying your imagination in real life and spreading positive energy inside and outside you which would send your mind signals to attract the same energy in your reality.so the image you expose to your mind is so important as the mind can turn imagination to reality.

6-Stay present

when you don't have control over your mind,your thoughts would run loose non stop which may even extend to complicating unrelated matters of the past or future and creating problems which will put you in a state of intense worries.all you you need to do is concentrate on your present moment and be conscious on the "today",neither yesterday nor tomorrow .

7-Right-size the problem

somethings are more worthy of obsessing over than others,so you got to carefully choose which situation is worth devoting your time and energy for and which one isn't,this will lessen the pressure on you and protect your peace of mind.

Conclusion

there two things you should know : if you control your mind and use it wisely and properly,you will be able to control your life ,the second thing is that everything handled "overly" like OVER-thinking,OVER-working,OVER-planning...etc,is not healthy and affects our life in a negative way.
