Are you an overthinker? Do you constantly worry about things that are a complete waste of your time? Are you constantly stressed and/or anxious?
I have always been the person that overthinks everything! But recently I’ve been able to control my thoughts, so I want to share some tips with you.
First of all you need to understand that overthinking and overanalyzing things is not good for you! You need to take the decision to control your thoughts.
- Be aware of what’s happening
You need to be aware of all the different thoughts consuming your mind, then only will you be able to control these thoughts.
Recognize negative thoughts and acknowledge them, stop pretending like everything is okay, in doing so you’ll be able to calmly process them and work through them.
Writing down thoughts can help you declutter your mind.
Tip- whenever a stressful situation comes up and/or negative thoughts start crossing your mind, take a step back, think about your reaction to the situation, be aware of the thoughts crossing your mind.
- Be focused
While doing something, be focused on that task, don’t let your mind wander. Stay focused, it will be difficult keeping your thoughts in one place, but with time and practice you will be able to control your mind.
Meditation can help you stay focused and clear your head of unnecessary thoughts.
- Try new things/get a hobby
Free time can be an excuse for too many thoughts to wander into your head.
Sometimes our minds get so used to our daily routine that many thoughts end up in our head even while doing different tasks.
Trying new things will occupy your mind and free time and prevent you from overthinking about things.
Tip- while selecting a hobby, look for something that you enjoy and makes you happy.
- Control your thoughts
A very important thing to remember is that you are in control of your thoughts. Do not let the voices in your head get in control of you. Remember that they are only voices and they get control only when you give them the control.
Redirect your thoughts, whenever a negative thought occupies your mind, turn it into something positive.
That’s all for this time. Tell me in the comments- what have you been overthinking about?
Love.Peace.Happiness.
