3 tips to stop overthinking instantly

 We all will find ourselves overthinking almost every day, and it is completely normal, we shouldn't judge ourselves for it, but sometimes it goes overboard and we just want the suffering to end.

Below are the  3 tips which were a complete game changer for me:-

1. CHANGE THE MEANING

This works like magic, so the only thing you have to do when you find yourself getting drained in those negative thoughts is to ask yourself what meaning are you putting on the situation you are overthinking about. For example:- if you are getting tensed about a particular situation not working out in your life, ask yourself, what if this happened for a reason (to teach you something) - to make you more strong as a person. Maybe this is a blessing in disguise, after all, you don't know what God is protecting you from. AND the moment you change the meaning you attach to a situation, your suffering will end.

2. TOO MUCH IMPORTANCE

Most of the time when we are overthinking we are giving too much importance to a particular thing in our life, and 90% of the problem gets solved when we know that we are doing this (because most of the time we get so tangled up in our thoughts that we don't realize this), so whenever you identify yourself overthinking, PAUSE and ask yourself are you giving more importance to this than it deserves? and the answer will be YES. After this, you will instantly see that your attention will shift.

3. BREATHE

As cliche, as it sounds this actually helps a lot. Just trust me and take 5 deep breaths and you will instantly see the difference. Don't believe me? Next time whenever you feel anxious do this and then tell me all about the experience in the comments. After all, most valuable lessons come from the simplest things in life :)
