How to stop overthinking?

[Filippo Spina]

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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

Overthinking is like a deadly disease that can secretly kill if one is not well guilded and council. Overthink may occur as result of disappointment, betray by a trusted person or even hardship and poverty can lead one to having restless mind.
 If you find yourself in such situation ensure you occupy yourself with something that will relief your mind from thinking such as music, comedy movie and game or better still go around people or look for someone you can chat with. Secondly, if you are having restlessness because of overthinking ensure you don't stay in isolated place because it can only increasing the level of your thinking and many people have died as a result of isolating themselves from people whenever they are in the situation that make them to overthink.

I am very glad to hear your opinion. The race of life is one where success is almost impossible if done in haste. Because the most important thing for success is persistence and consistency. Consistency and steadiness in any work are more beneficial or better than haste. In haste many important matters are neglected.

We know is very hard to stay a day without thinking. But over thinking is not good for our living. Over thinking have so many negative impact in our live. Over thinking can affect our mind set. It can make us not to be concentrated at such resulting to any bad happening. Sometimes the depression get from o er thinking can cause us to talk to people around us rudely, making us to look mannerless. Friends and family relationship is very important. Over thinking can cause to sheltered the relationship with people around us. Over thinking can also make us to be having negative feelings about things and people around us. Over thinking can cause us to lose our original statue.

Yes, you are absolutely right because there is no how that one would stay without thinking, although even the richest people's always have something to think about of course who are we not to think. But however I think we should always try as much as we can not to think too much despite any condition we find ourselves after all too much thinking know go fit solved our problem rather it will still cause more harm to our health.

Relaxation techniques are very effective in reducing stress.  Do yoga regularly every morning.  Try to go to sleep early at night and get at least eight hours of sleep.  It will reduce your stress and keep your mind fresh.

How to stop overthinking?


Go to sleep. Then you can overdream.

Can't get to sleep? Try melatonin and booze.

[Mehmet69]

Experts say that free time is the best time to overthink. So I think that if you can always keep yourself busy with something, you can get rid of overthinking.

Listen to your favorite songs, move your body, and let the music make you forget your worries.

[Violatoor]

And how to live without thinking? You always need to reason and analyze everything.

If we don't remove from our life things that are full of unsatisfied thoughts and high hopes then we will have to go through a lot of depression in our life.
