Understand, what motivates your worry
You know whatever we do whether that is good or bad that is because of something which motivates us to do that and this is the same here if you do overthink or worrying about everything than that is because of something which motivates you. Firstly, go sit alone at any peaceful place and found out in yourself that which things or which thoughts are those who keep on motivating you toward overthinking and worrying. After that try to overcome and control those things and negative thoughts. Yeah, no doubt that it will not be so easy, but it is also not impossible to overcome these or to take your freedom back from fears.
Change the story you tell yourself
Our thoughts play a vital role in making us what we are. I had a bad habit of quitting before trying anything and that was like I used to say I can’t do it or I am not a good choice for doing this and as I thought the same happened I was unable to do that and this was just because of my own thinking. We are humans and our biggest problem is we have thinking about everything around us or about any of the things no matter if we are unaware or we have no information about that before, but we are gonna judge that.
Everything will happen exactly like your story which you tell yourself as if you used say yourself that “I am an overthinker, and I am used to worrying even about silly things and I am even unable to handle this” then trust me you just can’t stop overthinking and worrying about everything. So, if you really want to overcome or stop being an overthinker or worrying person than first change the story you tell yourself and start thinking positively.
Don’t think of what can go wrong, but what can go right
Now let me tell you one thing that is mostly you do overthink or worry just because you are somehow afraid of anything, it may be you are afraid of losing something or someone or you have failed once and now; you are trying again to do that and you are afraid of failure or it can be any of fear. And when you start to think completely about these negative thoughts you become an overthinker and worried about everything. First what you have to do is stop thinking of negativity or of what can go wrong, start thinking about what can go right, or find out a small positivity in everything. Always remember that it is not necessary if something went wrong before then you will get a negative overcome every time. Every new opportunity is a new beginning.
Realize that you cannot control everything
You are the wisest person ever if you have realized that you cannot control everything and if you still haven’t realized this then you are the most foolish one you can ever meet in your life. Everything which happens in our life is uncertain therefore you should always be ready to face everything and this can only happen when you are mentally strong, but if you are over thinker or mentally disturbed, or every time you are worried about other silly things then you can’t be able to handle or simply you can’t be mentally strong enough.
So, first realize and note this point in your mind that nothing is in your hand you just can’t control everything there are just a few things which you can handle, and when you finally realize this then your life and situations become easier for you and when situations become easier then there is no chance of being an overthinker or worried person.
Distract Yourself
Now, this idea is especially for that time when you realize that you are doing overthinking or you realized that you are worrying at that time the most important or the most effective idea will be trying to distract yourself from those thoughts. You know most people are just unaware of their own conditions and are unaware that how much it can be dangerous for them therefore first is realizing and accepting that you are doing over thinking or worrying then try to distract yourself from those thoughts.
