How to stop overthinking?

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.

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.

That's good ideas actually many people see this as normal thing to occur to human but it's been generated by so much unrealistic things that can never have their ways in your life leads to the problem of over thinking, the best is to eliminate any thoughts that is contrary to your life agenda, don't involved in too many tasks that may seem unfinished by you all this can speedy the elimination of over thinking.

You need to consider the bigger picture. Once you've considered the bigger picture, there's an even bigger picture after that. It's a constant cycle of overcomplication that leads you to the conclusion that life is actually super simple. You can and have the capacity to be a simple person through monotony, routine, discipline, whatever. It's what you choose at the end of the day!

This is good.

If this really helps you, keep on doing that. This is a gesture of being grateful to what you have and that counter the thoughts of being an overthinker.

Keep on practicing this and soon even you have no list at all, you'd be grateful by just even waking up in the morning and let the day work on its own without having to worry.

I know it is not possible for human to stay without thinking. Thinking is allowed but over thinking is not good at all.
To me there are some ways I always stay away from over thinking anytime I noticed to be thinking too much.
I get myself involved in any of the activities I like doing like playing football. Anytime I see myself to be over thinking, I quickly get my football and look for any body around to play with. By so doing I am getting myself off the thinking mode.

Anytime I am over thinking, I also go out to associate with friends or people around to catch gist with them. I make sure I engage myself in any discussion or topic raise in other to keep my mind busy.
Sometimes I also like playing music. Naturally I love music so much. So I tried as much as possible to listen to good music with good lyrics and meaning.

Yes brother you have rightly and logically said that if we cannot control our ambition then ambition will control us which will make our life hell. But happiness is inevitable only if we control our ambitions and prioritize satisfaction. There is a saying in our country that slow and steady wins the race. So working slowly and with the expectation of not giving up will bring success.

"The Power of Now: A Guide to Spiritual Enlightenment is a book by Eckhart Tolle. It presents itself as a discussion about how people interact with themselves and others. The concept of self reflection and presence in the moment are presented along with simple exercises for the achievement of its principles."

Normally as a human being we always have something to think about, but sometimes we really need to control our self because overthinking always lead one to early grave if you don't control our self, although too much thinking always cause sleepless night because sometimes you would not even have appite to eat why because your mind is not at rest.

I love poker, and watching many hours of poker tournaments on YouTube I've noticed one thing: slow and steady wins in the end. And this saying of your country is right about real life too. It's hard to believe at first, but it's true.
