Sharing with someone close and trustworthy that you have a tendency to do this can be a great way to lightening the load. What do you know to be true that contradicts your thoughts?
When you’re feeling calmer and more in control of your feelings gather the evidence you know to be factually true.By doing this you will recognise it and what triggers it when it happens the next time. Identify what you do by recording it in your journal.The time we spend overthinking, however, doesn’t bring any added value to our lives and most likely will have the opposite effect, as we recurringly cringe at past mistakes, punishing ourselves over and over, or fret about future possibilities. Conclusions help us move forward, either with new ideas or armed with more knowledge about how we move through the world. The time we spend problem-solving and self-reflecting is time well-spent. The final difference between problem-solving, self-reflection, and overthinking, is about time. This will not help us to develop new insight about ourselves or our own situation. Overthinking, however, involves ruminating on just how bad we’re feeling and thinking about all the things we simply have no control over. When we go inwards and engage in some healthy self-reflection, it’s usually with the aim of learning something about ourselves or gaining a new perspective on a given situation.
It is also worlds apart from being introspective.
