The Overthinking Detox: Find Your Mental Peace

Many people can find themselves stuck in their head when given a decision to make, especially if it is one that is stressful. Overthinking might seem like the natural reaction to situations like this, however this could lead to overthinking bleeding into someone's everyday life. Creating a habit of overthinking will only further complicate someone's life, despite this overthinking can be overcome! Understanding why one is overthinking is the first step to dismantling these overbearing thoughts.

Giving yourself a time frame to make a decision can help stop overthinking from consuming the overall goal at hand. By also understanding that not everything can be solved at once can help lighten the weight of a decision; breaking it up into parts and working at each one separately is a great way to take baby steps towards your final goal, and with more things accomplished and finalized, there is less room for overthinking. One of the best things you can do is work on building trust in yourself.

Once you begin to trust your ability to make the correct decisions for yourself and take action on things, the easier it becomes to let go of the anxiety and overthinking that comes with decision making. Taking small actions to get yourself out of this line of thinking will be the catalyst to creating change.
