Overthinking
As it is clear by the word that overthinking means thinking too much. Overthinking is like just continuously thinking of things instead of doing or acting them. You are overthinking; If you are repeating your thoughts over again and again but you are not doing that. Overthinking prevent you from making progress in life, it prevents you from doing new things. over-thinking just consumes your energy and time but there is no benefit of overthinking. In over-thinking thinking whenever any minor problem comes in front of you it makes you feel bigger and scarier than an actual one.
Causes and Impacts of Overthinking
Overthinking impacts much on your emotional regulation and sleep pattern and it makes your life harder to enjoy. Over-thinking bounds you in certain thoughts which are completely useless to think of, it is just like you are connected to any pole with rope and you are continuously going in circles again and again. You are not stepping forward you are held in a past pattern.
Overthinking is caused by self-doubts or by Low self-esteem. it is also caused by anxiety, stress, depression, and demotivation. Overthinking spoils all your inner peace. All of your happiness disappears in a single moment due to overthinking.

Now the question arises that what type of thoughts you face in over-thinking. Are they positive and beneficial or they are negative and harmful? So, it depends on the situation or on the thing that you are thinking about. You can judge which type of thoughts they are (but most of the time these thoughts just seem to be positive but are not in real life).
Most of the time people don’t admit that they are over-thinker. It feels shameful to hear that you are over-thinker and this thought came in your mind is also due to over-thinking. I am also an overthinker and I proudly admit it because it’s not a crime to be an over-thinker. Overthinking is also a part of our life. I am used to be an overthinker for a long time but now I am also able to deal with over-thinking.
Side effects of overthinking and how to controlÂ

To overcome your overthinking
Notice when you are overthinking accept it that you cannot take medicine without knowing about the disease so same here without accepting you just can’t overcome the over-thinking so first you must be aware that when you over-thinking. start thinking about the way you overthink and when you feel that you are continuously thinking over only one thing and you are unable to control that thought than just tell yourself that those aren’t productive.
Accept it
Always accept that you are an overthinker because sometimes it also happens like that you start pretending that you aren’t an overthinker and this happens when someone continuously says that you are over-thinking and stop it. Even if you are not over-thinking at the moment so in such a situation you just start pretending that you aren’t so first please accept that you are.
Point out
Now point out all of those things which you think of or those every thought which you overthink about and keep them with you. So, it will help you a lot because it is like a mirror for you whenever you look in that so always keep an eye on yourself keeping a diary is the best thing you can do.
Meditation
It is time to keep yourself calm and control your mind. So, meditation is the best way to control your mind. First go to any peaceful place or just go to your room and start doing breathing exercise do it for 10 minutes and follow this every day. It is much beneficial to keep you calm.
Avoid them
Whenever you are feeling like you are overthinking just avoid them and start doing something. You know you just overthink when you are completely free so engage yourself in any work and then give your complete concentration on them. Or start moving like go on to a walk and focus on your walk keep your mind out of that thoughts and give a look to your surroundings. It will help you in two ways one is you stop overthinking and second is it increases your observation power.

I am so guilty of overthinking and I hate it! It keeps me up at night. I know it is futile but it can’t help it. Thank you so much for the info, it is great.
Such a good topic! It’s def the enemy of progress!! Gotta focus on the things we can control :).
I’ve already regulated overthinking for a while now. But I’m currently in an unfair situation that is bothering me a lot. I want to get rid of all the negative feelings that comes with the injustice.
This is great. It is what it is and endless over thinking does not change what has or what will be, only robs us of our now!
I have had a problem with overthinking my whole life. I am getting better at tit with time, though.
overthinking is so hard to break!! it’s sp easy to have your mind race…but man this is a great post!!!
Thinking too much could be considered my mantra, but I’m learning to let go. Often even following the instinct is not wrong, on the contrary …
I’m a chronic overthinker and it seems almost impossible to stop my mind once it’s went off into a tangent. But I’ve been keeping a worry journal to try and ward away the more negative, worrying thoughts.
overthinking can also do good. just don’t let the negative consume you to the point that it already paralyze you. 🙂
I am a MAJOR overthinker! Thanks so much for sharing this with all of us!
Using these techniques has really helped me with overthinking. Whoever is reading this and suffers from overthinking…try the above!
I sometimes becoming an overthinking most especially when I am stress but thank you for these tips this will help me more to control that. Thank you!
I have bad anxiety, and overthinking is definitely how it manifests itself. I have gotten better about not overthinking when it comes to certain topics, but I still have issues with others.
I also overthink things a little too much I think. I am trying not to do it , and just go with instinct.
What works for me is to write down what is on my mind. It helps me to let go in a certain way of the stress that I feel.
Meditation is such a powerful tool. I have always struggled with overthinking, but have found that I am doing much better now that I am incorporating a daily meditation in my life.
I tend to overthink at times. It’s an easy thing to do, especially when faced with a tough decision. For me, meditation does wonders.
I call myself a chronic overthinker. Definitely going to take all of this to heart!
We need reads like this at a time like now. We all have more time to think about too many things and future seems so unstable. Thank you for this thoughtful blog post.
Thank you for sharing this! I have always been an over thinker and like you mentioned above, meditation has been extremely helpful to me (it was difficult at first, but I stuck with it and it has really helped) Thanks so much!
I pinned this to refer back to. Everyone in my family is an overthinker and I think this will be helpful. Thanks.
Great post with helpful suggestions. I have caught myself on overthinking of some situations.
Super helpful. I have a wife who totally acts like over analyzing things that makes me horrified sometimes. Now your tips gave such a relief that there are a lot people like her who experience the same way.
I think as we mature, we overcome overthinking bit by bit. We learn through experiences and most of the time it proves that what we think for so many hours is actually not needed. The right thing to do is to face a situation right from the start.
I don’t think I overthink but I do a lot of research before I make a move. Maybe that IS overthinking?
Overthink is a killer. Great post on overthinking!
Nice post! I need these solutions because I’m guilty of being an overthinker sometimes.
I used to overthink when I was in high school, and thus I could never sleep. But now, I just use meditation before bed to sleep.
I’m great at overthinking stuff but am getting better at knowing what things to avoid 🙂
I’ve been struggling worse than usual with losing sleep to worry. Sometimes it just doesn’t feel good enough to accept it and move on, the insomnia takes over. I guess i just need to be better about meditating?
This is a very useful post and something we can all relate too. I will follow your advise as sometimes I just cant stopover thinking.
I overthink a lot. I try not to do it during bedtime otherwise, I can’t sleep at all. Thanks for these tips.
There’s some good information here for dealing with overthinking. I used to have this problem many years ago.
I do yoga. Sometimes I also go out for a spin but yoga keeps me focus.
I know how overthinking affects.. These days, you know the issue.. I had done so much for people till date, and today when a friend who really needs help and just because I am unable to help due to my problems, no one is there, not the one I help. This overthinking has increased my anxiety. I dont know if the solutions will work. I will try….
