A slight difference between thinking and Overthinking can change the way you think.
An urge to control your thoughts is quite a drag because as we grow we learn it’s not easy to do so.For some people like me “overthinking” is a way of growing and believe me it’s not a joke. When your mind sticks to that one particular thing can even make you go crazy. And no amount of self-control can help to change it. One fake smile and lots of pain are mixed together to create an overthinker. Some people say ‘hey you stop overthinking- you are creating a problem by yourself’ but hope I could say ‘yeah I will’ but no in reality it’s hard for some people. And you need to understand this.
So how to deal with this situation??? One easy step just listen to the person and stop giving advice. He/she knows what is right or wrong but inspite of that they overthink. They don’t need your opinion they just need to be heard. But few of them can’t even express to anyone and get trapped in their thoughts.
How I deal with my overthinking???Simple I try to engage myself in different activities like painting, writing, dance and music. These things are very helpful for those who can’t express to anyone about their true feelings. Art is a good way to express.Trust me specially writing helps a lot no matter what other says just take a diary and pen and start giving words to your thoughts. This will make your life much easier. As overthinking eats people from inside out and we need to find a way to deal with it as it can’t be vanished like a magic but a little step can help us to live with it.
But remember feeling too much, caring too much, Valuing things emotions or persons is not at all bad. So what sometimes it hurts it’s okay isn’t this how a human grow. But before investing soo much time on one thought Or a person just ask yourself Is it worth it????? Because sometimes it doesn’t even deserve our attention at all. For a Overthinker Simple things become complicated and easy decisions become complex. It can convert into anxiety and than led to depression which ultimately affects our mental health.
So, identify your fear, write down your thoughts, walk in nature, try to enjoy what you have rather than what doesn’t belong to you, letting go of the past is difficult but try, can open up to someone trust worthy and lastly take control of your emotions. I know all this is not easy but trying will not harm you.
