Overthinking

 

 

What is the biggest disease of the mind? Overthinking.  Especially too much about what others did, what they should do, what they should have done, what they said, what you desired they had said, why they spoke at all. All of these thoughts raid the mind of its essential peacefulness.

 

Overthinking is like overeating. The excess weight makes it dreadful to continue light and flexible. Our mind gets attached to little things and progressively these little things become enormous things which we cannot get rid of. Often when we think too much, we imagine things that are not real and overdramatize. Consequently, creating damaging feelings which can cause serious health issues.

 

A healthy mind equals a healthy body. Overthinking or anything which is “over”, entails willpower. We have the ability to control our thoughts. We do not have the ability to control what comes out of someone´s mouth or how they behave towards us. Therefore, take the reins of your mind through meditation, watching a movie, reading – keeping your mind occupied with a different task other than overthinking. Sounds easy? It may take some discipline, but it can be done. If all else fails, see a therapist.

 

Tomorrow is not promised. Therefore, take life one day at a time and make the most of that time which you are given.
