How to stop overthinking

NAS82443

I have bad anxiety and I easily start overthinking about the little things that don't even matter. I get anxious even if there is a little bit change in the behaviour of the people around me. I really wanna get out of this loop. What should I do?

  • I think there's no magic answer. I do find tegular meditation practice helps you become more aware. So that when you do realise you are overthinking you can distract yourself. Also that one looping thought about the little things can shout just as loudly as the more significant things. This tells me it's "simply" a matter of attention. If you can divert it, it helps. Sometimes I need outside influence to divert it as trying myself doesn't always work.

    People are difficult because by their very nature they are unpredictable. I have to deduce and work out that things or sutuations are ok.
