Finally, you guys got yourself enough time to introspect about certain things been happening every single time, OVERTHINKING
!!!Yes, you heard it right!As most of the time we overdo same thoughts again and again in a repetitive manner which not only disturbs or distracts us but also affect our mental well being in various ways. Overthinking and worrying both are part of day to day human experience and to some extent its fine but when unbridled, they can hamper one’s mind on daily basis.
What is overthinking actually mean ?
Overthinking can be a way in which our mind engages itself into thinking about and analyzing in more harmful way rather in a helpful manner thus resulting in exhausting our mental state. Our mind gets more prone to negative thoughts rather than positive one. Overthinking can be both a boon and bane .
Lets take a case of solving tricky mathematical questions , here we actually need to think again and again in order to solve it . But when you get overly concerned about what you said or did something to someone , you get worried about how you are being seen by others and so on , then you could conclude that you might be engaging your mind in overthinking. Overthinking isn’t a disorder rather it’s one of the factors which leads to various kinds of mental disorder , anxiety etc.
Overthinking happens when you start assuming then obsessing and ultimately worrying about those things which may not even holding any reality. You get stressed about such thoughts which may not even of that much concern but still you have been affecting yourself for no reason. We all might have been dealing with this for so long but non of us consider to look upon it and work on it. Getting our mind free from all negativity can lead us to live a positive mind.
Just wanna let you guys know about my version of Overthinking. I have a problem that I don’t even try to share what all I deal, with no one. That’s where the problem actually started , I started to assume a lot of things without even knowing the reality . I even started getting a lot of pessimistic thoughts and doubted my own abilities. Most of us must have faced this phase at times somewhere or the other. We can’t eliminate overthinking entirely as its a natural process of our brain but we can try our level best to get away from all such negative overthinking.
