4 . How to Survive Overthinking
●Focus on the big picture.
●Distract (分心) yourself when you’re overthinking.
Do something that you find fun and engaging. When your thoughts are running away from you, sometimes you just need to do something else for a while.
●Get your thoughts down on paper.
Try spending 10 minutes a day writing down your thoughts.
Writing can also help you get to the root of what’s going on.
●Talk out your thoughts with a friend.
Saying your thoughts out loud can help you process them. If you just can’t seem to move past your thoughts, try opening up to someone you really trust, like a close family member or a friend. Tell them what you’re dealing with and why you think you keep coming back to these thoughts.
●Try to see problems as challenges.
Look for solutions instead of just replaying the obstacle. If you notice that you’re just thinking about every little detail of a decision you’re facing, try to reframe your thoughts. Focus on how you can solve the problem, or what you can learn from it.
