How to Stop Overthinking? Bring yourself to the present moment: In other words, each time we are overthinking we cannot be in the present moment.The reality, however, is that the present moment is usually far better than the past or future we are overthinking about. Replace Your thoughts: Yep, you can?t control the thoughts that pass through your mind but you can replace those negative thinking with positive ones. Make a small shift in focus: How many times have you stopped working on a problem and taken a break? Then the solution pops into your head half an hour later? Simply getting up off your chair and going into a different room can help. If possible, go outside. In particular, try to take a brief walk amongst trees. Be a Doer, not over-thinker: Identify one small thing that you can do right now and then do it! This can help you feel more in control of the situation. Distract Yourself: Focus on the room you are in. Name one thing that you can see, one that you can hear, one that you feel, and so on through the five senses Keep an object with you. Immerse yourself in a hobby. For example, painting, reading, knitting, crafting ? whatever takes your fancy Give Yourself a deadline: A good decision can often be made very quickly. Avoid taking longer than you need to make a choice. A deadline can be an effective way of making a decision quickly. Give yourself a few minutes to a few days, to make up your mind. Pull the trigger and move on. Meditate to stop overthinking: Focus your attention on what you can hear, Try not to name the sounds If your mind wanders, bring your attention back to focusing on sounds. Don?t worry or judge yourself if your mind does name the sounds, this is just your thoughts trying to stay active. An over-thinker?s brain constantly keeps seeking answers. We are usually worrying about something that might happen; or we are anticipating a potential outcome, or we are expecting a certain outcome and/or certain behavior. However, with enough practice, you can successfully start to overthink less and less, which will eventually help you to stop overthinking altogether.
