Do people still overthink these days?

With the advent of social media and it's varieties like Facebook, tiktok, X, Instagram, WhatsApp, and many more what would bother you as to make you overthink?

You are looking at it from your own perspective of persons that can afford all that, what of those that don’t have android phones not to talk of having the money to buy data. That money you use to subscribe is what some persons use in feeding in a day. Just thank God for your life

What you should consider is whether overthinking truly resolves issues, or if it only exacerbates them and leads to stress that could even result in health problems like high blood pressure or a stroke. Whenever those thoughts start to overwhelm you, try to remind yourself that everything will be okay. Shift your focus by engaging in a different activity, whether it’s spending time with friends, watching snooker, or enjoying a football game.

So one day, I finally thought of processing my thought and guest what? I ended up with a list, list of things I have dreamt of doing, which I love doing but never gave them a short just because my mind is so much consumed with the intrusive thought.

Let's go Straight to the point.

It's lack of money that causes Overthinking 99% of the time.

Do not dwell your mind so much in any discomforting circumstances.

I recommend having positive minded people around you and taking solace in God's word.

XtraFortunes:
How I avoid overthinking is that I remind myself that nothing is perfect and nothing can be perfect. I remind myself that the sooner I take action and see the errors the sooner I make corrections that will move what I have done towards perfection that I want.

People who overthink myself inclusive are perfectionist, so remind yourself that nothing is perfect in this world and just take action.

For those who think always and have BP, visit the hospital regularly and see those in pains and those with different problems, see that you are in a better position and thank God, it will help you with thinking and feeling depressed.

stop having these" if I had known" thoughts, just tell your self this is it, these is rock bottom, and then just begin to tell yorself how can I make it better, one thing I know don't attempt to be obsessed over lost success, just accept your present reality and be positive on how to improve it, many people are going through same or even worse and they don't deserve it either, just know also that whatever condition you are in, it could have been worse than that.

Me i can't even sleep at night. Am addicted on too much thinking

Just accept say
Many things pass your power
No matter how hard you try or hustle.
And have the spirit of gratitude
Thousands better pass you
But
You sef better pass millions
No be your case be the worst.

I really appreciate bro

For you to ask this question ⁉️
Definitely, you have conquer the overthinking already.
Firstly, engage yourself with your artisan work if and only if you have one. Mark out list on what you planned to do for that day. Have an interval break and use it to walk for 15minutes or you take a nap if necessary.
2. Make yourself contended with whatever you have and never make comparison with others.
3. If you don't have any work at hands at the moment - engaged yourself in reading physical books or online download books at minimum of three to fours hours then take a walk for 15 - 30 minutes.
4. You can go and learn any vocational skill of your choice. Then he determined and focused about it.

OK, thanks bro

Just a simple prayer

God, grant me the peace of mind to accept the things I cannot change, courage to change the things I can, and wisdom to know the difference

harsysky:


Thinking is a way of life: what should ask is if you are thinking rightly not over-thinking.

Exactly.

I detest it when people see you sitting quietly and then ask: "what are you thinking?", as if one is not meant to think!

Just think of goals that are realistic and achievable and then work towards achieving them as soon as possible if you have the financial capabilities to do so

You can stop overthinking by thinking over it🤗

You can stop overthinking by thinking over its demerits 🤗

Focus on your haves instead of have nots

Imbue the character of gratitude

Be contented with what you have, work hard nonetheless.

Find out what triggers you and avoid it.

Have a happy place or thing. For instance, mine is prayer, social media and movies. Thus when I start to feel blue, I switch to them

Finally and most importantly, understand that there are no timelines in life. You don't need to give yourself ultimatum. Your current reality is someone's prayer point. So be grateful for your little baby steps and dont beat yourself up when life gives you lemons over and over again. Make lemonades over and over and over ..... and over again.

Nobody has it all figured out.

Shawarmagirl:
Get busy with something or work.

Most works these days are underpaid.
Having work does not stop overthinking.
May God help.

Do much of walking ,listening to music is adviceable during that period.

Thank you very much, I really i appreciate sis/bro

The way I stopped mine was that I over-thought until I got tired of overthinking. Not joking.

I then used Naval's Non-judgemental Meditation to smoothen things.

Is a normal thing to worry about things you dream of doing but is not normal to worry over things you have not tried doing. The trust is you can't achieve all your dreams, so the earlier you understand this truth the better.

Lol apply for a factory work 7 to 7....

Lol 😂 🤣 if e come back by that 7, na to sleep till 7 next day... Overthinking go relocate

It's busy you are less busy that's why you are overthinking. If you are very occupied there wouldn't be time left for thinking as you would have even be tired and is there anytime your problems get solved after thinking. You must have damaged your system too with over thinking and once you pass away all your ambition and God plans for your will be the end when it would not be dust for dust. Tell me how dust can overthink

Bleank:
Intrusive thoughts aren't the same as overthinking.

If the problem is that you abandon ideas because you overthink them then the solution is to just start.
Why don't you strike up a chat with me so we'll see how to help you with this list
