OVERTHINKING-What is Overthinking? What are it's harmful effects? How to overcome it?

Congratulations, must be puzzled for what? So let me just introduce you to your part-time or maybe full time job, that is OVERTHINKING. This word had ruined the youth to a major extent and really being honest it's not a joke anymore. I was overthinking about the topic I should jot down this time, oops i was thinking about the topic but most of the time all i do is to overthink the stuffs or better to say all we do is to overthink the stuffs so things go even worse than usual.

If a voice inside you is constantly criticizing you, you blame yourself for everything wrong, even small things practically bring anxiety for you, you can't focus on stuff, you are in search of love from outside and most importantly you couldn't have a proper sleep cycle, then welcome to the world of overthinker's with a chuckle.  

Overthinking is such an underrated topic that I could not even find quotes of some famous personalities on it, the other way round overthinking does not even exist in their list, meanwhile anonymous authors are in million.

WHAT IS OVERTHINKING?

OVERTHINKING, self explanatory in itself, this word carries immense power to cause a disastrous mental destruction by stress and anxiety. I know you can't stop your brain thinking about anything extra, I am also aware of the fact that this is over all emotions, it kills happiness, trust, faith, belief but let me tell you the warrior who can defeat it is busy head or tight schedule and a job of interest. Don’t believe me, but where does your overthinking go when it's the last date of your assignments and you are not finished yet, where does your extra slice of thinking go when you are busy in streaming netflix or doing your artwork or dance practise or any job of your interest. Isn't it weird that an ideal mind is prone to it even more?

 WHAT ARE HARMS CAUSED BY OVERTHINKING?

You must be really astonished to hear, this is a severe disease that is a major reason for early death and not meant to be overlooked anyhow. This extra slice always ends up with screwed up mental health and even worse power of decision making. Here are major health issues highlighted caused by overthinking. These below are just a few major harms, the list is even more if we jump to the ocean of BIOLOGY.

1. LOWER MENTAL FUNCTIONING

2. INCREASE CANCER RISK 

3. INCREASE HEART DISEASE

4. SUPPRESS IMMUNE SYSTEM

5. SUPPRESS DIGESTIVE SYSTEM

HOW TO OVERCOME lT?

This is a really important part of this blog, just because excess thinking means you are just a stone's throw away from depression. I am not aware about your hurt or pain but let me tell you something, ALL THAT MATTERS AT THE END OF THE DAY IS YOU AND ONLY YOU, trust me. One day everyone will be on the other side of life and you will laugh at this successfully wasted valuable time. We can't change some things in our life. All we can do is to accept whatever is right in front of us. These tips below might help you in your process to overcome overthinking.

• Follow Your Passion, this might sound very plain but this is something which woke up your interest in doing some job and ultimately our brain has no time to overthink.

• Avoid Negativity, “YOU LOOK THE WORLD EXACTLY SAME, THE WAY YOU ARE” is an old saying. Overthinking just brings the negative part of your life, you become judgemental to yourself, you start thinking the cause of all evils in this world is you, so for this part use your brain and avoid toxic people and content.

• Make A Tight Schedule for you, and put as much work pressure you can so that your mind is diverted and positively your tasks are completed.

• Think Rationally, don’t stress yourself for the forces you can't control.

• SELF LOVE is the key so just take a deep breath and tell me the right decision you took after overthinking that night, couldn't find one, now Talk To Yourself is it working? If not then leave it in the hands of the universe.

My beloved overthinker's, I know something is going really unwell, you even don't know how to react to it, so just leave it because deep down all you want is MENTAL PEACE not the better version of that thing, “Always perform your duty efficiently and without attachment to the results, because by doing work without attachment one attains the Supreme.” – Bhagavad Gita. You know your duties well, just do it, keep going and see the MAGIC. Personally I used to Overthink too much until I realise it was not that hard that my mind screwed up. Let me know in the comments below your reviews on this blog.
