If you're an overthinker, here are 7 things you need to know:
1. 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. The way you think about the problem is.
2. Avoid self-rejection.
Don't you think you deserve that opportunity?
-Apply for it anyways.
Don't you think your article is good enough?
-Publish it anyways.
Don't you think they'll reply to your email?
-Send it anyways.
Never overthink yourself into self-rejection
3. Silence and time.
The truth is, most problems aren't solved with more thinking; they're solved with less.
You will find most of the answers you are looking for in silence, in time and with a clear mind.
If you can't solve a problem, stop trying to.
4. A question.
When you start criticizing yourself for your past mistakes or seeing disaster around every corner, ask yourself:
"Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or to influence the future positively?"
If the answer is yes, do it - take action.
5. The power of now.
You are not going to overthink your way to a better future.
You are not going to overthink your way to a better past.
All you have is now.
And what you do now can make right of your past and make good of your future.
6. Fact-check your thoughts.
Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflects your insecurities, fears and worries.
So it is important to always fact-check your own thoughts before accepting them.
7. 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.
