Your Mind Won’t Shut Up? Here’s How To Finally Stop Overthinking

If you're worrying too much, you're not alone. And if you're overwhelmed with your thoughts, you have good reason to be. New research shows that the average person has about 6,200 thoughts a day. And we want to help you shut down the noise and give your mind a break. We all think too much sometimes. This can happen when we feel insecure when we experience anxiety, self-doubt, or fear. Excessive thinking is usually inappropriate and unhelpful and often leads to feelings of anxiety and worry.

How to manage not to overthink everything in simple things.

You know yourself best and therefore also know in which situations you tend to overthink everything particularly easily. Also, by this point, you know why it's not worth rethinking things over and over again. But what you (perhaps) don't know yet is how you can stop brooding.

Here are three simple tips to give up unnecessary overthinking:

• Create facts. Don't get bogged down in wild assumptions, but ask.
• stay positive It's not always about you. And it's not all bad either.
• Let it be. You won't be able to control everything, so don't even try.

Rethink Defined

Excessive thinking is an excessive tendency to evaluate and overthink thoughts. This can be learned when we have to decide something important in our life.

Why overthinking can be a hindrance

Excessive thinking is associated with rumination. It's a constant mind loop that leads to nothing productive. Because it's like a running wheel, it leads to the development and reinforcement of negative emotions and even more negative thoughts. It doesn't allow you to think about anything more rationally. Instead, a cycle of worry is perpetuated, trapping you in the same negative thoughts and feelings.

Here you will find some simple steps that will help you avoid excessive thinking:

Schedule time for worry

The idea is to set aside a specific but short period to think about all your worries. It's about letting go of the worries that consume you. When the allotted time is up, do something else. This works because it helps limit thoughts of worries to a specific period instead of letting them take over the whole day.

If you want to try this, I recommend setting aside 15 minutes for your worries a few hours before bed so as not to disturb your sleep. If your anxious thoughts come up during the day, tell yourself it's not time to worry and that you'll pick up on that thought later during your worry time. scheduling has a big effect and benefits

Reframe negative anxious thoughts

This takes effort because you need to be aware of your overthinking when it occurs. Learn to catch them and challenge them. Is it true that your boss thinks you're stupid for not spelling a word in your email correctly? Where's the evidence that you're ill-prepared for the new job you're about to start next month? Questioning the thoughts you are thinking too much allows you to question their validity and come up with new, more rational, and helpful ideas. Reframing negative anxious thoughts is very helpful

Accept the futility of overthinking

When you understand and know that excessive rumination is pointless and hasn't helped you in the past, you can break away from it and remind yourself to move on. Think about the last time you overthought and ask yourself: did it help you? What was the result of thinking about this topic? Did it solve problems?

Calm your body

Slowing down and calming our bodies also helps slow and calm our minds. Deep breathing or relaxation exercises, stretching, taking a bath, going for a walk, drawing, listening to music or a podcast, or calling a friend are all good ways to unwind. rest or massage may help your body fight

do something else

If you can't let go of the mouse wheel, do something to free your mind. Take a walk, draw, listen to music or a podcast, or call a friend. Distracting your mind from other tasks allows you to focus on other thoughts that are likely to be more helpful.

There are a few additional considerations:

Don't watch the news: bad News is full of negative information. Your brain subconsciously absorbs them all. Do you remember that your brain is trying to find an answer to every question? So, while you're trying to sleep, your brain is trying to solve all of the world's problems that it has seen on the news… So, at the very least, turn off the TV at night! so protect your mind from bad news or general news

So, while you're trying to sleep, your brain is trying to solve all of the world's problems that it has seen on the news… So, at the very least, turn off the TV at night!

Make sure your brain can "shut down" slowly in the evening by avoiding difficult conversations with your partner or children.

Don't read more posts on Facebook. Don't watch exciting action movies. It is far better to meditate, listen to relaxing music, or read a positive book before going to bed.

Conclusion

Overthinking often happens with problems, bad occasions, and difficult situations for ordinary people, unless you are a person who has a lot of needs, shortcomings, and lack of money, or even with the availability of those who have stressed me, as we indicated in our article, and by following the steps and tips, you will gradually improve, especially if you start to exercise. 

Do not forget also to surround yourself with calm and positive people and watch courses, use tools, and read articles; they are treated like cognitive behavior therapy. Always remember that there are solutions to all problems, seek the path to happiness and comfort, and fight for them—they deserve it.
