Dealing with overthinking

Your own mind can be your worse enemy, especially if you suffer with overthinking. Some event or thought can pop into your head, and your mind choices to fully analyse it. Picking on it like a scab causing paranoia, stress, worry and all sorts of issues but you continue anyway. Such as planning out an outfit for a night out, your mind becomes over analytical on what your wearing. It’s too reviling, what If it gets cold, blue doesn’t really suit me? and more critical thoughts. These thought will make you feel worried and paranoid when everything should be fine and stress free. It prevents you from being fully in the moment. This clarity blog is the first of a line of the “Living in the present” series.

Those of us who have had to take on a lot of responsibility at a young age for ourselves, or had parents who expected a lot from us or even those of us who were bullied before the age of 10. Since we had to learn to discipline ourselves at a young age. Our minds are a lot more analytical, they pick every flaw and are very aware of how the world will react to our actions. We have gained insecurity’s and felt inadequate even If we are doing our best to deal with any situation. The feedback we give ourselves is our way of protecting ourselves from offers critics, since we have already heard it in our own minds and can deal with it. If we make an error, we’d rather recognise I straight away and sort it out.

Of course when we do overthink, we cause a build-up of negative emotions, that effect our mood and causes us to manifest more negative thing into our lives. But there is a paradox in this truth, over thinkers already no from offers they overthink. So stress they must change causing more thoughts and negative emotions. Overthinking is an ingrained habit in your mind, nerves have become wired in your brain to cause it. But there are ways of dealing with it.

• Venting out the frustrations help, whether its talking to a trustworthy friend regularly, writing your thought onto pen and paper nightly. Our even counselling. So long as you are able to honestly discuss your thoughts honestly and not feel judged for them. Learn to understand yourself.

• Connecting with the heart. Try and make decisions from the heart. This is an incredibly difficult hobbit and honestly I have only met one person who does it successfully. Meditate on the heart, understand it. Begin trusting in it. (There will be a new clarity blog on it by Tuesday 27th)

• Meditation and excursive. Connect yourself with the body rather than the mind, temporally as often as what best suits you.

Overthinking is a gift in some ways, since our response system I quick. We know our options on things more, which some people don’t have.
