What OVERTHINKING Brings Us
You might think 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, you're NOT alone. Erik Hermanson mentioned in Quora.com says that 90% of the population are constantly OVERTHINKING. While an independent research showed that 73% of those aged 25 to 35 years old chronically OVERTHINK while 52% of those ages 45 to 55 do. So, What Does OVERTHINKING Bring Us!@#$?
In many cases, studies show that OVERTHINKING could show up 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, there are POSITIVE ways to reframe your thoughts. Experts, though, claim that we can put to a halt OVERTHINKING which might slip further📗📙📘
So, WHERE do we go from here? First off, you DON'T have to take every alarming thought that pops into your head as gospel truth. In fact, you can use those OVERTHINKING moments to question and 'FACT CHECK' WHAT's true [or NOT], so that our 'worried thought' WON'T have as much power over you❌❌❌In summary, while our brain may offer numerous 'THOUGHT SUGGESTIONS', it is ultimately up to us to decide if we accept them, in the first place. So, experts do recommend that we 'RETRAIN' our brain. As per their studies, WHEN the brain rests, the areas that 'LIGHT UP' are the problem solving areas associated with self-referential THINKING. Left on its own, our brain will tend to OVERTHINK❎❎❎
