OVERTHINKING
Lately, you may often hear the term overthinking. Every time you open social media, there are many posts about anxiety and worry. They feel starting from just sharing in the feed to confessions from your close friends. Many people felt the feeling of anxiety, especially when a pandemic hits. They worry about their health, think about the economic condition because they don't have a job anymore, and are confused about what will happen in the future. Or are you feeling anxious and anxious yourself, which you may not know where it comes from? What is overthinking, what can you do to stop being overthinking?
HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING?
Let's discuss them one by one don't let yourself drown by
your own fear. One emotion fear causes, most times, overthinking. When you
focus on all the negative events that may happen it is easy to become
paralyzed. Next time when you feel you start to spin in that direction, stop
visualize everything that can be done correctly and keep these ideas always
present. And ahead, ask yourself honestly what's the worst situation and when
you figure out the worst-case scenario.
You can also take a moment to consider what to do if
something is unlikely to happen. The worst-case scenario that can happen in
reality is usually not as terrible as the fear shrouded in the mind. What fear
do you feel lately, how do you overcome it when it is raised?
Find different activities that bring you positivity. Diver
your attention from the causes of stress by looking for other activities. For
example, reading novels you haven't had the chance to read so far, trying to
write gardening doing music. Making vlogs, doing a little exercise at home, and
so on. You can try opening a home-based online business, for example, making
photo and video editing and then promoting it in the marketplace. Selling ready
to prepare frozen food or other home businesses, don't let that negativity
concur your mind and your attitude find anything you like to do and see how it
affected you.
Practicing a deep breath it you've heard about this already,
but the reason it is such a known technique is that of its effectiveness. When
you get stressed because of thinking about everything that may happen. Your
breath will usually sometimes shorten you feel gasp in your breath to cut your
stress, do a deep breath to gain control of your mind. Because as we know it,
our mind and body are connected. So, making your mind calm, let's take a deep
breath, will we?
Stop dwelling on your problems when you keep thinking about
your problems. Sometimes we get trapped in a pattern you don't think about what
the solutions are, you are stuck on the problem itself. For example, you've
lost your wallet. All you have in mind is only how you can lose it. You are
trying so hard to think about the cause and the problem itself. While on the
other hand, there are other sides of the tunnel you must reach. You've lost
your wallet, but there is something you can do. You can be thankful because you
don't keep your card inside it, you can be thankful because you only lost your
wallet. Likewise, you can still use your phone to call your bank to block all
the cards you've lost. Since they stay inside the wallet, focus on the
solutions to lots of problems.
Stop giving a damn there are a lot of things that can make
you overthink. Everything, well, the best way to stop overthinking is you can
stop giving a damn about it. You see unpleasant Instagram posts; you read bad
news or anything, just don't give a damn as simple as that from now on you can
try to ignore news or news that only brings anxiety. As noted in the popular
work written by mark Manchin in the book, "the subtle art" of not
giving, you can learn to sort out what you think and what you don't. If you can
filter out which ones you really deserve to think about, the burden on your
head will be reduced. So, are you ready to not give a damn about anything that
can bother you?
Being present shifts your attention to the present and the
present position. Breathe focus where are you, how do you feel, what are you
thinking, what makes you nervous? Open the diary and write down your thoughts.
Studies have shown that the habit of writing about our own feelings helps us
develop metacognitive thinking. Turn off the computer or phone for a specified
period each day, and then use the time for one activity. The purpose of being
present is to raise awareness and free yourself from your own thoughts. How are
you feeling right now, are you living in the present moment?
You are what you are doing best, sometimes overthinking
raises because you feel that you're not good enough. It scares you that you
will ruin everything. You are not sure if your paperwork is good enough to
please your boss. It scared you that you are not doing your best to make your
family happy. The fear of overthinking is usually based on your feeling that
you are not good enough, not smart enough, not working hard enough, or other
things that you feel you don't do your best. Once you have put in your best
effort, accept it. This way, you know that although success may depend in part
on something beyond your control; you have already done what you can do.
Widen your perspective sometimes what we are concerned about
is only the small things. Small things which do not affect you even if it
happens. Whenever you think about something so deeply try to widen your
perspective. Ask yourself if it still matters to you after five years from now,
will it affect your income? Is it important to you what is your answer, share
what you are thinking about it.
Take a small step, one at a time. Overthinking can be caused
by your perspective of seeing something as a big problem in your life. What you
can do is to chunk it into smaller pieces. For instance, you need to get a
thousand dollars in the next month to pay your bills. If you only think about
that thousand dollars, you can get stress. Since you see so much money, you
need to get it. You can chunk and cut it into small pieces that are 1000 you
split it into daily earnings. You only need to get a 33 daily, more or less.
What problems make you overthink, can you divide them into small pieces?
Reset your environment, your surroundings, and your environment. Play significant roles in your way of thinking. It's not just people and groups close to you in real life. It also includes what you read, listen to, and watch blogs, books, forums, movies, podcasts, and music and life. So try to consider, are there any sources in your life near or far away that encourage and generate more thoughts in your thinking? Think about who or resources have the opposite effect on. You find ways to spend more time and energy on people which have a positive impact on thinking. While the tendency to strengthen the habit of overthinking reduces and take a look at your surroundings. How do you see it does your environment need to be reset?
Overthinking is a problem that is experienced by many
people, but there are ways to stop overthinking. You can practice it and do it
at this exact moment, which one do you think is the most helpful for you. How
does it give you a positive impact on your life?
OVERTHINKING WHILE STUDYING
Whenever we are going to overthinking zone or whenever you
get into different kinds of networks or into negative thoughts that are not
needed. So just have to count down to five like 5,4,3,2,1 and yes, you are out
of the overthinking zone. How this happens is that when everyone is counting
till five, you just put a break to your thought process, which we are having
for a long time and whenever we put a break, we count something else, something
very different. So after doing that, we just come back to the normal position
and release that we should focus on our studies instead of overthinking. This
is very effective for students.
The second one is meditation, everyone knows the benefits of
meditation definitely. But the most important meditation is to bring control of
our brain. It is like a way to train our brain. To make the brain much calmer
and a peaceful place. So if your brain is calm and is in your control, you will
control the overthinking process. It just takes 10-15 minutes to clear your
mind and relax. I know it doesn't work quickly. It will take one to two months
to concentrate on meditation and also get the effect out of it, but it works.
Why overthinking is bad? It is wasting your time, and it is
also bad because it is taking you to a very negative zone. So to avoid that you
can talk to your family, friends, or anyone you find very positive enough who
are your well-wishers. Who really wants you not to distract from your goals. So
talk to them about your feelings, that what is making you not focus on
something important. I am sure it will help you.
Sometimes you need to distract yourself. Distracting
yourself can be possible if you are doing something which is enjoyable enough.
I used to start some entertaining videos like comedy, drama serials, etc. for 5
or 10 minutes that don't harm you. So just watch it, and you will be refresh
enough to come back to your work or studies.
One thing to stop overthinking is to write down your
feelings. I think it is the best way to express yourself. You can write and
when you are done with the writing, I am telling you those feelings are
actually vomited out and now you will not feel the same. You will really feel
better. By doing this, you have told something about yourself or your feelings.
One important point is to focus on your studies. This one is
your mental space and your decision that if you know your studies are important
and your exams are coming, and it is your priority. Then nothing should be the
reason to overthink. It is just a waste of time. So think about what matters to
you the most at a time.
It will help you a lot to focus on your studies. So believe
in actions, not your thoughts. No one push, you to overthink. You can push
yourself not to overthink and just focus on your goals.
