Some people are used to thinking too much about everything. This is commonly referred to as repetitive thinking, it is like thinking too much, interrupting the action and filling yourself with anxiety, that is, thinking a lot, doing little, feeling bad and not being able to get out of this cycle. In this article, let’s talk about how to stop thinking too much.
This happens when we feel insecure or let ourselves be overwhelmed by fears. Thinking too much means we have doubts, which in itself is not bad. The very negative thing is to make doubt and inaction a way of life.
“There is nothing good or bad; Is it human thought that makes it look like this?-William Shakespeare-
Almost no one comes to effective conclusions by thinking too much, it can only be filled with anxiety and increasing fear of action. You never get what you want: an accurate, perfect and risk-free result. So it’s not worth it, that,here are some tips to avoid this situation.
If we give ourselves all the time in the world to make a decision and we are one of those people prone to thinking too much, we will never do anything, we will probably find it difficult to give up some things to win others, and that is what every decision entails.
The best way to avoid this is to set a deadline to resolve what we have in hand, it is advisable not to take too long, although the decision is complex, at most one day, although most decisions should not take more than an hour.
When you report what you have to do, you can only hurt the situation, if it is already clear that you need to do something there is no reason to wait later, do it even if there are obstacles or you have to overcome resistances.
The problem is that pending problems only lead to repetitive thoughts. You repeatedly organize the plan for this to happen. It takes valuable time that you could spend on something much more productive.
Sometimes we think a lot about things that don’t need them, small situations or decisions that don’t matter anymore, as we’re used to thinking too much about everything, we end up turning little things into something more relevant than they are.
A good technique is to analyze how important this will be in a week, a month or a year, what consequences can it have in these timeframes ?, if it is not something that affects the medium and long term, does not deserve to be thought out.
There are circumstances that do not favor lucid thinking, for example, when we are tired, we become slower to reason and we also tend to be more irritable, so we easily fall into sequences of negative thoughts.
The same thing happens when we’re not eating, we’re excited, sad or in a bad mood. In such cases, it’s not about letting you think. Just say “not now. ” Wait a more conducive time to do so.
It’s not hard to be afraid at all. We are surrounded by different fears, because we live in a paranoid society and because uncertainty is a constant in life, even if we take all kinds of measures to avoid it.
When we experience this kind of latent fear, it is very important to do the exercise in specifying what it is. What exactly are we afraid of? Chances are this reasoning will lead us to see that there’s really no reason to feel this.
It must be admitted that there is nothing in life that does not involve any risk, when someone constantly hesitates and starts to think too much about everything, it is certainly because they want, in the end, to be in control of the uncontrollable.
One way or another, each of our actions is a small leap into the void, if we try to eliminate the risk, we will only enter a neurotic cycle of inaction, even inaction glimpses risks. So it’s best to let go and let things go the way they have to.
Much of our psychic life works well through sleep. Getting a good night’s sleep provides us with a fundamental foundation for maintaining good physical and mental health. Lack of sleep has serious consequences. Between them, we make our thinking confusing and wrong.
