How to avoid overthinking!

None of us can escape from overthinking.  Sometimes overthinking doesn't sound bad but it can cause you a lot of problems. You tend to spend to much time in negative and becomes difficult to act. There are 5 simple steps to avoid overthinking :

1) Distract yourself into happiness
I would say that it the best thing you could do to avoid overthinking. It's like finding yourself again through things that make you forget your problems, for example, you go for a hiking, dance class, watching sunsets, meditation, painting and more. Do things that give you happiness because in the end of the day it is all about you.

2) Appreciate with what you have
Appreciating is a major thing that most of us lacking in our lives. We are not appreciating what we have yet we want more. For example, you desperately want a job as your friends because it looks more fun compared to yours and you start overthinking that you might end being in one place doing the same job. This can lead you to less focus on work and lose what you are already having.

3) Perspective
Don't think of what can go wrong, but think of what can do right. One of my friend is extreme in overthinking and that leads her to live a life with fear. She does not have confidence in herself because she is too afraid that something might happen. As a result, it causes her to lose so many things.

4) Change your view of fear
Sometimes fear can be a big reason for overthinking. Some people might have a dark past or bad moments in their life and they will start to relate the past to the future claiming that the same would happen. This attitude eventually spoils the future because not everything and everyone are the same.

Gratitude

What is gratitude? Gratitude is a way of being thankful or show appreciation for and to return kindness. In the beginning, I only know gratitude as a greeting where we need to thank people for their help or time but I got to know that gratitude has much power in it. Special thanks to my friend for introducing me to this, she made wonders and so am I. So this is how it works, get a book, any book which is comfortable for you to write. Start your writing with "Thank you God" and end your writing with "Thank you, God". You have to write things about everything in the past tense. For example, you have applied for a job and you are waiting for their call. So you write like "Thank you, God, I have already joined the job" You gotta write as if it already happened.
