Overthinking is a thought loop or a thought circle. You’ll end up in the same place where you started without any conclusion or ideas. It will ultimately become a trap. Most of the times we are predicting based on no real data and we’ll just become judgmental with that.

Thoughts are important like dreams and aspirations. But overthinking is a dangerous time consuming process with no positive outcomes.

Solutions for Overthinkers :

  1. Dedicate a fixed time or schedule a worry time to your thoughts. Whatever it is make sure you the thoughts are not looping/in a circle or its something that was not thought before. Journal it. Next time when you get the same thought read it.
  2. For over thinkers its difficult to perform any small action in a day. They look for perfection than progress. So the one way to overcome overthinking is doing some action. A 10 min task like doing some workout/ be aware of your senses/ setting and working on some challenges.
  3. Enjoy the process. Don’t look for results. Also don’t live in past or future.
  4. If you are worried about some action, check/think if it is something big to have an affect after one year? If not forget it, else in a book write in detail about the actions that can be performed to overcome it.
