No Shortage of OVER-THINKING
Seriously, OVERTHINKING is as common as the natural air we got. No Shortage of OVER-THINKING indeed. There is simply NO shortage of situations for us to OVERTHINK in today's rat race-based world. Sometimes, you might feel like you're the only one lying awake at night, dwelling on a decision you made earlier that day OR worrying about tomorrow's To-do List. BUT, hey dude, you're NOT alone because as per researches, 73% of 25 to 35 years old and 52% of ages 45 to 55 all OVERTHINKπππ
According to studies, in majority of cases studied, OVERTHINKING could manifest or surface out as RUMINATION, which often involves perseverating on events of the PAST and even the PRESENT with a NEGATIVE mindset. WHETHER your tendency of overthinking takes you into the past or focuses on the future, experts counsel us that there are POSITIVE ways to reframe our thoughts with considerably LESS STRESSπππ
BUT before this thread goes out of hand, experts assure us that OVERTHINKING by itself is NOT a mental illness at all! Instead, it is associated with conditions including depression, anxiety, eating disorders and substance use disorders. On the other hand, RUMINATION can be common in people WHO have chronic pain and chronic illness as well, taking the form of NEGATIVE thoughts about that pain and healing from it. Sometimes, worry and RUMINATION may even trick our brain into associating itself with something beneficialπ§π§π§
Experts advise us to watch out for these tell-tale signs:
- You fixate on NEGATIVE feedback
- You tend to bring up PAST FAILURES
- You're overly cautious to AVOID mistakes
We are further advised that since WORRYING can't really be avoided [because that is part of REALITY], consider to schedule a 'WORRY TIME'. Instead of letting RUMINATION overrun your entire day, confine it to a manageable slot, like 15 to 30 minutes✅✅✅
Another hole in the ground we sometimes fell through is what experts call 'FUTURE TRIPPING' where we are preoccupied in anticipation of WHAT lies ahead. Tell-tale signs?
- Exerting EXCESSIVE ENERGY to plan out
- Difficulty to celebrate small successes because you are so PREOCCUPIED with the future
Dude, there is NO shortage in OVERTHINKING but you got to halt and stop it, period❗❗❗
