What Shall We Do To Overcome Overthinking?

What shall we do to overcome overthinking? Overthinking is a reaction of our brain to think too much of things especially when we are stress and have anxiety issues. Self-doubt and self-esteem are the other reasons or causes of overthinking. There are moments or some point of our life that it is hard to stop our brain from thinking too much. We worry and a feeling of fear instead of just being calm of what is going to happen. I know that during pandemic people are feeling stress and overwhelmed of the situation. It is a natural reaction if we don’t know what’s going to happen in the future.

Overthinking will contribute health issues such headaches, muscle aches, body aches and stomach problems. You need to know also that overthinking can be scary it can cause post-traumatic stress, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety and any related mental health issues. We don’t want this to happen to us. Overthinking sometimes it doesn’t sound bad at all but you don’t know how this affects to your body. If you over think then you have the tendency of your stress get elevated and this causes the health problems.

There are ways of overcoming overthinking is to be aware that you are doing it and make a change. Try to step back and let it things happen.

Always think positive, instead of thinking negative or what’s go wrong, think positive that everything will be alright. Don’t let fear dictates your mind.

Divert yourself in thinking happy thoughts, engage to things that makes you happy, healthy and positive options. Schedule your time for reflection, things like painting, exercise, meditation, knitting and other things that makes you busy.

If you can’t sleep you need to listen to music that can help you relax and stop thinking things that are not important and things that you can’t control. I have a YouTube channel that you can go to and listen and relax.

Think something useful, effective and productive things, focus on things that are possible and train your brain to stop worrying.

Some reasons of overthinking it is because we thought that we are not good enough, not smart enough, not beautiful enough, not hardworking enough and if we think this way this does not help to us, instead it will bring us down. Accept our best and learn to let go of things.
