Overthinking and how to stop it
We (or at least most of us 🙂 ) are gifted with the ability to *think*…to think things through is both a bliss as well as a necessity to survive and evolve.
Interestingly enough, while thinking is very important there is also a catch; thinking too much. Overthinking causes the good things to go wrong, has non-issues become priorities and makes people come to a stand still in life. Luckily there are 9 Simple Habits to Stop Overthinking Everything (from Henrik Edberg / positivityblog.com). When you go through them you will notice it ain’t so hard to avoid overthinking! 🙂
Oh, I added a 10th habit: Think with your Heart!
- Put things into a wider perspective.
- Set short time-limits for decisions.
- Become a person of action.
- Realize that you cannot control everything.
- Say stop in situation where you know you cannot think straight.
- Do not get lost in vague fears.
- Work out.
- Spend more of your time in the present moment.
- Spend more of your time with people who do not overthink things.
- Think with your Heart
