Overthinking has been a big problem in most of the peoples life. Gives you a negative attitude, affects your relations with friends, family etc. How can you possibly stop yourself from overthinking when probably you have no control of what to think?

Just pray and sleep well.

I am often overthinking things aswell - I recommend trying to focus on what is happening right now. Start counting the things on your desk or concentrate on steady breathing, this often helps :)

Write your plan on a notepad or excel sheet. That way, all that's on your mind can be visualized for easy thinking and you won't have to spend too much time thinking over and over again.

you just relax u mine,,dont too much negative thinking,,over thinking became coz you have a negative thingking,,gift trust for other people,,

Stick with the winners.  Dont watch mainstream news.

Have purpose, Keep breathing in and out  you will be fine.

Fill your time with things that make you happy and forget the negative. If you sit still for to long that's when the mind gets you

You cant.....with that in mind. Obsess over something positive. You will become addicted to it the same way you do to negative thoughts. Just be positive and happy about your artwork. You are good and getting better everyday.

I overthink all the time, and I notice no negative side effects from it other than not being able to fall asleep easily. Quite on the contrary, I'd say the net effect is overwhelmingly positive.

Your problem seems to be a lack of focus and its resulting compulsion. If you want to practice focus you can just try to pay attention to your breath and increase the duration of that exercise over time, or practice calculations or other short-term memory tasks in your head.

When you focus on all the negative things you start to overthink, Next time you sense that you starting to feel it it's helpful to have a way to distract yourself with happy, positive, and healthy alternatives.

Just keep yourself busy. Work, work, work!!!

It is hard not to overthink. For me I always think that when you are focusing on the bad side it is not helpful you must always focus on the good thing. Every problem has solution.

Just take a deep breath, pray and trust God and yourself

Find nice interesting hobbies

Divert yourself to other things do household chores, play with the kids, play card games or visit some social media sites this simple things for me can stop over thinking.

To stop overthinking have something that will take your mind away from thinking. If you don't have a job then get a job, Have people that you can talk to, When you are alone keep your self busy with your cell phone or book. Just get busy.

in order not too overthinking we have to trust fully to our spouses ... because trust is the number one in a relationship, so we do not be too over enough to believe in the relationship would be durable

Admit that everything happened in past. You must think about future not about past  :) Just forgot all negative and think about positive future.

Always do self introspection.
Aware of his condition, aware of his faith conditions, his faith encouraged him to intropection himself, which then made him regret the wrongdoing.

Brotherhood is connecting affection. If we are diligent to stay in touch will create a sense of familiarity, mutual understanding, good communication will dispel suspicion or prejudice, and will also arise synergy to give knowledge, insight, and even often established cooperation.

Over-thinking can be stopped through avoidance of loneliness, depression and living in a state of contentment.

Just  be positive all the time,pray,keep busy and do your interest in life,its normal to undergo some trials but we should to accept everything because thats the true meaning of life.

To be able to reduce overthinking gives your mind  enough to rest and also doing activities that can relax your mind such as yoga.

try to focus on other things, and relax yourself. :)

Just took a bed then relax your self before sleep.

Do something or activity that pleases you
You need to rest your mind from something that takes your energy and your time. You may need to do your hobby that pleases you. This can help in diverting your mind for a moment to something that can refresh your brain..

The more you grow, the less you worry and overthink.

You dont have to stop your mind overthingking, accept it face it and challenge yourself what is bothering your mind. The more we escape the problems the more we grow weaker. Be strong always look forward.

Be positive always and stay happy.

I think it is hard to stop. Maybe it may be relieve through prayer.

stop thinking easy  8)........

It is very difficult to adjust myself to think positively

First what's the reason for your overthinking?
Think just one issue at a time. Don't waste your time thinking on things you can't change. Trust God and trust His heart. Wait on Him. He's never early never late.

Watch movies and video clips that make you laugh. Stop from thinking too much before you sleep. Let your mind go blank and just close your eyes. Listen to good music. Eat food that will make you happy. You don't want to have wrinkles all around your face.

Stay positive. People don't want to be associated with pessimistic individual. Hope that helps.

Good advice.

Grow gratefulness
Being grateful means that you are thankful for all the blessings God has given you. Do not always look up, look down, look at people less fortunate than you. Do not get stuck in the past, and do not think too much about the future. Just do your best today, because tomorrow we will never know what will happen next. So relax and enjoy your life. Do not be too upset and not too ambitious (greedy).

Forbearance, it means that you are patient in doing everything, do not be squeamish, do it with a normal and reasonable rhythm. Let it flow, let it run as it is, if you are squeaky, then you will feel anxious and restless. In the end you will think negatively, and mess up everything you do, and you will bother to check that you do many times.

Avoid negative thinking or the worst
In doing something, just do it if it is a good thing. No need to think too much about the worst. If you have not tried, how could a bad thing happen to you? do the right thing quickly, do not hesitate. Immediately implement, if you think too much, in the end you just think without doing anything because you are afraid of bad things that will happen with you.

Seek entertainment / release the burden of the mind
Do not get too focused on what you think or what you do, let go of all the burdens of your mind. Look for positive entertainment, like playing with your friends, watching movies, streaming youtube, playing games, or chatting on social media like twitter, instagram and facebook.

How can you stop yourself from overthinking? Distract you
Find activities, such as knitting or working with your hands that require so much attention that your brain has to be distracted from overthinking. Working with your hands is very good, because it involves your motor skills, as well as your thought process. Your brain just does not have the resources to divide into a third activity, ie overthinking

Do something or activity that pleases you
You need to rest your mind from something that takes your energy and your time. You may need to do your hobby that pleases you. This can help in diverting your mind for a moment to something that can refresh your brain.
Maybe you can do sports. Yes, exercise can help free your mind from negative thoughts. By exercising, you not only refresh your body, but also your brain. No need to do in natural time, 10-30 minutes may be enough.

stop daydreaming
Overthinking can be a habit that you do not realize, for example when you suddenly daydream.
Begin to pay attention to your way of thinking and realize that your mind is empty when daydreaming, so you can quickly become aware and insolent to think over something.
In addition to daydreaming, repeating an event in the mind can also drag you into overthinking. When that happens, you'll be worried about something. It's a sign that your mind is not being productive.

challenge your mind
Humans are generally easily carried away negative thoughts. So before you conclude that skipping a deadine or a deadline for office work can get you fired, then that's where you're overtthinked.
Remember also that emotions can interfere with your ability to perceive situations objectively.

Reflect on Thoughts
Burying the problem for too long can make you an unproductive person, but this problem can be helped by doing a brief reflection.
Spend 20 minutes to "me time" in your daily schedule. During that period, let yourself dissolve into reflection or think about whatever you want.
When it's over, move somewhere else and do what makes your heart happy.

Learn Mental Skill Skills
The wise man said, it is impossible to return the time that has passed and do not worry about what will happen tomorrow, because you live in the present time.
If you are skilled at mastering your own mind, then you can give attention to what you are doing now and focus more on what you do.
Just like any other skill, mastering the mind takes practice and over time, it can help overthink.

Kind of cheesy, but "live in the moment"..

The overthinking generally happends because one feels the need to analyse evertything that is happening and going to happen, yet nothing ever goes like imagined no matter how much you have thought it through..

focus on solutions
Always point your mind to "way out", so the problem can be solved as precisely and immediately as possible. If you feel the problem can be controlled, then the next step is you should be able to prevent it from happening again.
Dare to take some options, just in case the first solution does not go as planned. You still have second and third planning.
Focus on things you can control, such as your attitude and effort.

multiply take action
This is the most important and perhaps the most difficult. However, if you want to change your life, you need to take action now. If you just think, this will not work. Talking about this might be easy, but it's a difficult practice. However, you have to motivate yourself.

Write something you're thinking about
If only you think about it, the mind will become more numerous. So what's wrong with trying to write everything you have in your mind into a piece of paper. It will help you a lot and lighten the burden of your mind. By writing your problem or what step you will take, who knows you will find the solution or choice you will take. Writing your every thought before you sleep is probably a good idea. It can also make you sleep more soundly.

Do not always think of the mind you should show in your case so that you can plan your life in your mind when you go to your life as you do not have your own

It depends on what you are thinking about. If it calls for solution, you could seek guidance from a close relative.

Try to make exercises every morning

Do a activity that lessen your overthingking like buying staff to release your stress, and for me play online games to prevent more stress and went to a place that can make yourself calm down, Like plaza or overlooking place.

Get a distraction...it works really well

I personally say that I'm an over-thinker even my the ideas that comes in my mind I overthink whether that is beneficial or not for me. But What I did is i meditate and relax myself in that case it lessen my thinking. It is like refreshing your owns mind.

Try not be alone,always keep your self busy,hang out with friends,laugh too much

I'm a over thinker person and once I over think I'll think of the worst, there is this one scenario when I over think then me and my bestfriend argue about it. Like I always tell him that I can't trust you because I can't see you, I can't see what's your doing for the whole day maybe your lying and I know that those things made me hurt him a lot :( I know it's not right to overthink but I just can't avoid it. Because when I overthink strikes a person it will result argument.. So once overthinking strikes me I'll try to avoid to talk to that person and let myself cool down for a bit.

Sleep. Eat. Laugh

Find space and time to clear your mind. Some people call that meditating. Silence is underrated. Focusing on your breathing will help you to stop thinking (thinking words anyway), having the patience to sit and be in silence is another thing altogether, takes practice.

Overthinking causes a stress over the mental condition and as so also causes the degradation of the physical condition too

Be engaged in some works always, that would help you stop overthinking.

just pray to God and still calm thinking something

Stop consciously during excessive thinking. The first step to solve the problems that are associated with no problem is STOP! When you're ready, sit in a quiet place with your eyes closed. Take a deep breath and exhale slowly through your mouth. Equip one of the five senses, for example: close your eyes, it will increase your intuition by 15-20% (For example: a blind person is able to walk more sharply than you). Adjusting your breath with deep danger will release the stress that accumulates because of the excessive turmoil you are currently experiencing. Remember that you are trying to overcome the problem of addiction.

Just pray, take a rest. sometimes i will find a place to relax.

Do something or activity that pleases you
You need to rest your mind from something that takes your energy and your time.

I just sit back and remember that life is meant to be enjoyed and that I don't need to stress every little thing.

Just remember, if something happens then it already happened. There's no point in stressing it. If you can fix it, then try to fix it. If you can't well then there's nothing you can do about it, just use it as a lesson for next time.

Nobody's perfect we all make mistakes, and learning from them is what makes us smarter and wiser!

Put yourself out of the box and make some space on your zone. Do things that makes you feel better and energize you as you forget that fact cause you to think over, like trrating yourself, make an adventure or go out with you buddies. This things helps a lot.

yes, positive thinking and praying is the answer. anything in excess is not good. so always be kind to the future, and always optimistic.

overthinking is fine... the problem is overthinking while not being productive. start a business, then sit back and overthink every possible outcome. its like eating cheese burgers while jogging, it's all good.. but stop jogging, and pow you're a fat ass.

Overthinking will definitely make yourself more stressed. The way to control it is just ignore those disturbing thoughts, and get back to being optimistic.

To stop overthinking, try to be present in the moment and focus on what's happening right now. By doing so, you can free yourself from constant overanalyzing and find inner peace and clarity.

The best way for me to stop overthinking about anything is to try to analyze all the information that is being given to me.  Keep in mind, not putting too much energy into making a decision that is not very important.
If you over think about something that does not bring any type of value or worth to your life than simply move on. If you get a bad feeling and your brain is even trying to reason with you, chances are that you are right and should not move forward.
Overthinking can be good and bad depending on how you look at it.

As much as I thoroughly hate it, exercising until I'm completely exhausted.

To stop overthinking, practice mindfulness and focus on the present moment. Challenge negative thoughts and replace them with positive ones. Engage in activities that promote relaxation and self-care, such as exercise, meditation, and spending time with loved ones. Setting realistic goals and priorities can also help to reduce overthinking by providing clarity and direction.

what about just focusing on real tasks step by step?

It is important to understand that no matter how you think concerning a problem it won't solve the problem, the best thing is to think of solution how to solve the problem.  Thinking changes nothing, If gets to understand this they won't allow thinking to be a burden to them. It is better to think to solve things and get out from problem thinking thinking and still remain bitter without any solution.

I just take some alcohol and sleep off

Listen to more music drink alcohol and sleep best way for me

Over thinking brings disease, I used to get gerd, because of the condition that is difficult to accept loss and activity restrictions. You can see how many people are affected by anxiety in various cities, I experienced how bad the condition is.

Peace of mind because the mind will respond to big things will happen or vice versa, I mean if doing positive things is not necessarily that heavy and difficult, mental loads and random thoughts make it difficult for humans to start from which point to adjust.

Over thinking is also beneficial if it is for negative things, as complicated and as big as what future effects will occur if you do it with examples around you, it will certainly make you think better before acting as a small example of an attitude.

The heart cannot lie, if the mind justifies but the heart resists this is what makes doubt and do further thinking, for me to detect as little as possible the mind accepts, and over thinking can be minimized.

Because thinking is such an important gift, such an excellent function for humans that reflexes perform their function well, we are grateful.

The first step to solving a problem is to identify the problem overthinking is a natural process often overthinking causes stress which can lead to irritability or anger. Then he can get angry on someone innocent all healthy aspects of life will continue to suffer. Remember anxiety is a natural manifestation of human thinking. There is nothing wrong with worrying so learn to control your emotions during these times. Start working afresh with this thought only then you can get out of this vicious cycle.

I have this when i am still an active gambler that made me thinking to how much i will lose and how much my family needs that surely I will never shoulder but eventually as i learn to leave gambling?
now I all do is talk to my wife , listen to her advises and even followed what she told me to do because she is my savior and my trusted one.
maybe you need to have someone beside you that can be trusting even with your life so onerthinking will gone and confidence will cover,

Maybe there are several methods that I usually use to eliminate overthinking that you can try.
1. Divert attention from thoughts.
Maybe you can distract your mind for a moment, with something else or by doing an activity that you enjoy.
2. Challenge those negative thoughts.
When you find yourself thinking too much, challenge those thoughts. ask yourself if this is appropriate/realistic.
3. Practice interpersonal skills.
by increasing self-awareness, increasing self-confidence, and practicing self-control.
4. meditation.
The goal is not to clear your mind, but rather to focus on something and practice shifting your focus whenever your mind wanders. With practice, you will find it easier to stop overthinking before it becomes a more serious problem.
try meditating for 10 minutes to stop excessive thoughts and worries.
5. Practice self-acceptance.
One of them is practicing gratitude and thinking about aspects of yourself that you value, and being able to forgive yourself for things you regret.

No man is immune to diversities but your actions and reactions is what matters most, and don't forget that too much of anything is bad.

It can't be stopped.

When we grow older, having more responsibilities and obligations. It's part of growing old. Those that don't have much and can't easily deal with all of those problems that you're overthinking about needs some things to do.

Do what you are comfortable with as a stress reliever. Most people does their own thing to relieve the stress from overthinking. Some are finding it with their comfort foods and drinks.

Yeah. There are a lot of things we have to go through in life. Focus on the now, set doable goals and throw in some mindfulness. Break tasks into small steps, kick irrational thoughts to the curb and do things that make you happy.  :)

I truly don't think that you can easily stop overthinking, you can but it will be the hard way, to stop it you should be able to fix your life problems faster than the normal persons, and in order to do that you have to be very strong mentally.

Strive for balance, thinking too much often leads to exhaustion and overwork of the body, and in life you need to be in good shape. Thinking a little is also harmful, leaving everything to chance, then life will pass you by and you will not be happy, because in life you always need to strive for something. As we age, it becomes harder to control everything, we begin to think less due to physical health, so everything needs to be done when we are young.

These days are such times that if you expect too much from someone, you will be disappointed and then come back. So the first thing that we need to notice is that we cannot expect anything from anyone. So, our over  We must be careful not to expect too much from someone, and we will suffer more if we expect too much.

Overthinking is very bad for our mental health.  As a result of overthinking, we cannot concentrate on any task.  As a result, we face many problems.  In my opinion more sleep is needed to reduce overthinking.  As well as gym korte hobe.  You can also do yoga.

Try as much as you can to make money, money gives happiness and if you already have the money make sure you have men that know things keep them around you ,they will make you happy, because whatever you want you will send them they will get it for you, listen to good music at all time

Make sure the problem is sized appropriately. Some decisions are worth thinking about, while others are not.

Over thinking is as a remembering the past and having more task to tackle ahead of you resulted to this. You can easily avoid it by way of applying negligence to some bordering task, forget the past, don't carry don't let another person Borden be of equivalent to your Borden by way of thinking how to render them solution, do some relaxation, sport, go out on some recreational center or viewing center and relates with friends and play music these can reduce dramatically over thinking.

start believing in your self and believe in what you can do on your own  , sometimes or most of
the time is that overthinker people are those who has lack of trust to themselves that is why they are thinking
of what can happen here and there , I use to be the same but not when i learn the basic to love myself and trust it.
exactly , we must be with positive people and that shows how can keep our heart
and health in rightful way of living.

Unnecessary worries distract everyone from their normal activities it is not possible to focus on one's own work that's why drop everything and go back to something old. Along with yoga painting reading books will relieve excess anxiety. Also focus on hobbies you had years ago or start anew.

Overthinking can be stopped by engaging in good, constructive and social activities and spending time with good friends and successful people and analyzing them. Another thing I do often is meditation. That is when I find myself overthinking something, and it's usually negative thinking, I sit in a quiet environment and meditate. Seemed to release all the stress excess thoughts and negativity within me. Another effective way is to wake up early in the morning and exercise for a certain time which gives us good physical and mental health.

Keep yourself busy with different activities. It won't help if those activities will boring for you. You will just be thinking and overthinking while doing those jobs, so find something really engaging for yourself and start doing it.

Obviously, by doing something interesting to yourself, overthinking can be removed. Also when excessive thoughts fill the mind, you can walk on a street and see how many poor and helpless people are living on the street. You can remove your excessive worries by observing how they are living there. Then think about those helpless poor people on the street then your mind will be diverted from overthinking and from there many good deeds will happen.

and with that we will adopt more sickness because of not normal daily living because of overthinking  ,
 imagine you are exaggerating things while it is still not happening ? I also use to have this attitude back
then but thanks to my wife that keeps me pushing to never feel such way and yeah I win against this.

Overthinking is not  an easy thing and one should not play with it when it's identify because many depression today is as a result of overthinking, which have course many sickness such as stroke, BP issue etc. one must be cautious of how he/she think over issues ,nit all thing is to be carried to heart some things need to be discharged from the heart for more safety and good health.

exactly , there are several cases that people thinks he have been having some sickness but not knowing
that it is caused by overthinking and for me people must be alert of this specially with their love ones that
suffering in the same issues .

 some others thought they are just having insomnia or some other disease  but the truth is? they are
suffering from Overthinking .

I have learned from my mentor that if you wanted to stop overthinking then you must have someone in your side that can assure you of safety and love, and for me this is why my Wife helps me in everything as how my mother used to when I was a kid.

so  find your either bestfriend or partner? you choose but that would be a big help.

The name of friendship is trust which is based on helping each other, standing by each other in danger, being together in happiness and sadness and friendship influences our whole life wherever we are. Friendship is like a mirror in which you can see yourself. When any great thing happens in life it is because of friendship, so in any limitation in our life, the company of friendship works like a magic wand, making the mind voluptuous. When we realize that we are indulging in overthinking, relief will surely happen if we come in touch with friends.

There are many reasons why a person becomes overthinking, one of which is trauma, maybe he or she has experienced something bad or seen a bad condition, which causes uncontrollable overthinking. Overthinking is part of insecurity and depression, so it is important to manage your own thoughts, continue read good books and always discuss problems with those closest to you to get natural healing

Actually, you can be happy even being poor and living on the street. It's hard, but it's a supreme skill. You should always strive for a better life, but at the same time be content with what you have.

I have seen many people who sleep on the road and nothing like traffic noise or road lights can disturb their sleep. This is the only reason they live for each day. They don't have any thoughts or needs for the future. As soon as the need arises in a person there is a problem, sleep is forbidden. And if we could be satisfied with what we are achieving, we would be mentally well. But the nature of the demand that will continue to grow gradually, is the result of not being able to control the mentality. So we should make a habit of being satisfied and that will eliminate our extra worries and live a healthy and beautiful life.

Exactly. That's what I'm saying, be content with what you have. But pursuing your goals is fun, don't forget about that. :) So, set a goal, maybe just a little one, but still it's better than living with no purpose.

First you must understand what is the issue you are overthinking and search for people that might help you with that or at least has an experienced about that same problem and from that there will be an answer and how you can get out of those thinking.
mostly it is from our problems and issues in life that we are not putting actions , instead we are keeping seeking about the solution but we cannot make it in reality.
and also , try not to think about things that will not directly impact your life , just face those what you need to prioritize .

One thing that's helped me is trying to focus on the present moment instead of getting lost in what-ifs. Mindfulness techniques, like deep breathing or meditation, can be super useful for this.

Those who wander aimlessly are equal to the dead and are passengers in a boat without a sailor. To this day those who have remained determined to achieve their goals have never been touched by extraneous or frivolous thoughts. So we should go ahead with our goals and be satisfied with the results we get.

or this can also be a sign of less security , some people experienced being taking advantaged
before and that leads them to overthink in many thing specially those in which near to come and
they are not comfortable .

that is really a much effective way mate , to focus in the present and let the future comes
but make sure that you are also ready facing whats coming.

Great elaboration here mate, how you amazed me with that complete explanation how friendship  helps a lot for people
to deal with this kind of problem because for me? this is  a  serious problem that everyone must take a look
and not just a simple matter because this will  end to suicide if not treated well.
try to seek for a help whenever we feel like we are dealing with this so help will come and do not take this solely for better result.

Just focus on what is more important in your life and forget about Irrelevant things .

Yes brother, when excessive thinking leads a person to commit suicide then he must be taken to a specialist to deal with any kind of bad situation. Since no matter reaches its peak suddenly, when a person is affected by such a problem he should be aware of it, and also give himself time to spend time with friends under the open sky. In this way slowly he will get rid of the problem.

Only don't set your goals too high is my advice. Then the satisfaction will be at hand. Go ahead slowly, little by little, and will reach even higher goals this way.

One thing I did before is every morning, I list down at least 10 things that I am thankful for the day before.  It trains my brain to have that positive mental attitude.  Moreover, it helps me to reflect that there are many good things happening around me, I just need to have the eye to see and ears to listen.
