How to stop Overthinking anxiety?

8 Strategies, thoughts, and ideas.

The Problem is Rarely the Problem 
99% of the harm is caused in your head, by you and your thoughts
1% of the harm is caused by reality, what actually happens and the outcome. 

Most of the time, the problem isn't the problem—it's the way you think about the problem.

Avoid Self-Rejection 
Don't think you deserve that opportunity? 
Apply for it anyway. 
Don't think your article is good enough? 
Publish it anyway. 
Don't think they'll reply to your email? 
Send it anyway. 

Never overthink yourself into self-rejection, self-discovery instead.

Silence and Time 
The truth is, most problems aren't solved with more thinking. 
They're solved with less. 
You'll find most of the answers you're looking for in silence, in time, and with a clear mind. 

If you can't solve a problem, stop trying to.

An Important Question 
When you start criticizing yourself for past mistakes or seeing disaster around every corner, ask yourself: 
"Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or to positively influence the future?" 
If the answer is yes, take action. 
If the answer is no, be at peace and let it go. 

You have to take action or let it go; everything else is self-harm.

The Power of Now 
You're not going to overthink your way to a better future. 
You're not going to overthink your way to a better past. 
All you have is NOW
And what you do with NOW can make right of your past and make good of your future. 

Make peace with yesterday, let go of tomorrow, grab hold of now.

Fact Check Your Own Thoughts—"Mind management"
Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflect your insecurities, fears, and worries. 
So, it's important to always fact-check your own thoughts before accepting them because in highly emotional situations, your thoughts will tell you stories that aren't true.
By being mindful of your inner self and engaging in self-reflection, you can gain clarity and discern the truth from the illusions your mind may conjure. 

Fact-check yourself.

Acceptance is Peace No amount of anxiety will change your future, no amount of regret will change your past. Peace is found in acceptance.

  • Accept imperfection
  • Accept uncertainty
  • Accept the uncontrollable You don't have to understand, tolerate, or even forget something, but if you want peace, you must accept it.
  1. Health Starts in Mind 
    You can go to the gym, eat healthy, do yoga, drink water, and take vitamins, but if you don't directly confront the negativity in your thoughts, you will never truly be "HEALTHY". 
    Our health isn't measured on scales, by the size of our muscles, or by the width of our waist. 

    True health is measured by the quality of our thoughts and the peacefulness of our mind.

In conclusion, mastering mindfulness and overcoming overthinking is a transformative journey that empowers us to find inner peace and live more fulfilling lives. By understanding that the problem lies in our thoughts rather than reality, embracing self-acceptance, and practicing mindfulness, we can break free from the chains of overthinking. Remember, true health starts in the mind, and by cultivating a peaceful and positive mindset, we pave the way to a happier and more harmonious existence. Overthinking, often viewed as a weakness, can haunt us at night, robbing us of restful sleep and clarity. But through mindfulness and self-awareness, we can break free from the grip of overthinking anxiety. Embrace the power of now, let go of unnecessary worries, and embark on a path of mindfulness to unlock the boundless potential within yourself. May your newfound wisdom and inner peace guide you on this beautiful journey of self-discovery and growth.
