Stop the Overthinking habit !
I just wanted to talk about sth before going to bed ..... i had a topic in mind which is the "Over thinking habit" .......
but before that i just wanted to express how much i do miss someone so badly and i wish they know how much i miss them .......
Dedicated to the sweetest person ...
"You" whom i call you my heart
From you i cannot be apart
Or from your love i depart
Our souls became one
and with you i can have fun
When my tears i started to shed
Other than you i dont want, i said
In my heart you are a queen
and all others for you lean
You whom i call you my heart
I chose you from the rest
In my heart you are the best
You came into my life
and made me feel complete
.... i miss you so much !
Okay back, to the topic i wana discuss ........
Are you a person who spends a big time overthinking until you feel your body is so weak ... you should really learn how to switch off your thoughts for the sake of your health and happiness ......
Sometimes, you'll hear a situation , and you might keep it in mind and when u encounter a similar situation, you'll start predicting or overanalyzing it in ur brain to find the best solution , then you'll notice yourself or others might notice that you became so reticent .. you barely talk or express and if you talk , you say the most redicilous things that can make you feel unable to cope with everyday concerns .........
Worries circle round your head , attacking your thoughts and killing your focus that can make you feel annoyed or depressed ..... even if you relax, your brain starts addressing every single issue and that keeps your brain functioning like nonstop which can affect your health .... you'll start saying i relaxed but i still feel tired .. WHY IS THAT ???? Because your brain is tired, you just not giving it a break !
Okay if you moved to a new job, what you are gona do , for sure you'll start thinking to make the right decision ... So you'll start weighing up the pros and cons of the new job ....and you might then make the 'for' and 'against' factors hoping that you'll end up having the best decision .....
JUST A MINUTE .......
But based on the research, it has been noticed that the less time we spend thinking about a decision, the more likely we are to choose well.. our minds can process limited amount of information at any one time , so overloading your brain with so many factors or issues wont help because you'll lose concentration that will unable you to make the right decision ... WOMEN THINK TOO MUCH >> this is a fact , coz they are emotinal ...
for example, if men receives a feedback at work, they'll take the positive and ignore the negative, wherease women take them personally ... so here what we should look at, "The Snowball Phenomenon" , one reason overthinkers spiral into negativity is the "snowball phenomenon". They start with one negative but it really snowballs and then they start feeling completely depressed .....
What to do to stop it:
- Internally say "STOP" or no .. this will help your thoughts to be out of control
- Distract yourself with anything when you start your thinking phase .. distraction break the connections between the nodes of negativity in the brain ..
- Take some physical excercise
- Write your thoughts down but read them later ..
- Get things out of your chest, but pour out your feelings to positive people
- Challenge your thinking
- Give yourself a time where you are gona think about ur issue
- Keep in mind that overthinking is not your friend when you have any issue, so break this habit ..
Gd night all =)
bbye
