Introduction
This book introduces and discusses ways to overcome your overactive mind. That mental chatter or noise your brain produces at night, in the morning, and throughout your day can make it quite difficult to live your life peacefully. Negative thinking, overthinking, and excessive worrying is what makes most people depressed and even anxious. This book touches upon the reasons why you find yourself diagnosed with a disorder that you never asked for, as well as how to cope and live with it. There are many techniques that speak about the individual aspects of mental chatter and how to overcome them little by little.
Do you find yourself lying awake at night because you cant stop worrying about what happened earlier that day? Do you find yourself second-guessing almost every decision you face in life? Does your job or friendships seem to be overwhelming? By reading this book, you will be emboldened to deal with your fears, handle your perfectionism, and overcome your diagnosed disorders. One thing you can take away from reading this book is that your thoughts do not define your actions. What you should expect throughout the journey of practicing the techniques and strategies in this book is to be aware of where your mental chatter comes from, and how to address it.
Stop worrying about what you did today and start living in the moment. Stop living for tomorrow and start breathing in the positivity of today. Stop overthinking your future and make big changes to live your future now. We are only ever promised today, so instead of obsessing over what you could have done at that social event or trying to control what you will do in your next appointment, learn to breathe in this moment you have now.
Perhaps the greatest lesson you can learn from reading this book is the simple fact that your thoughts determine the outcome of your life. Even though this may be a difficult statement to swallow (especially for those of you who are now more in your head than you were before), all you need to do in this moment is learn positivity. This book will go through the reasons why the way you think now is not beneficial to your being, as well as how positivity can greatly improve and produce where you want your life to go. So, quit being stuck, stop letting your mind trap you, and take control of what you want. There are finally lessons and a structure to get you to where you want to be rather than where you are now. And, its all in this book.
Step 1: Identify Your Enemy and Reasons for Overthinking
Overthinking is when you cannot seem to get something off your mind, and you have uncontrollable or intrusive thoughts that dont seem to go away. It is when you catastrophize everything around you or you are unable to think clearly due to the obsessive amount of thoughts overloading your mind. To overthink means you are focusing on what could be, what should have happened, or the what ifs in almost every situation.
Your mind has you trapped in vicious thought-cycles or thought-patterns when you overthink. Its as if you feel mentally exhausted 24/7 due to your brain not being able to unwind or shut down. It is easy to be trapped inside your mind as the world and universe we live in requires us to think about everything we do, everything we want, and everything we believe. Overthinking leads to stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders. Over-thinkers constantly stress about their responsibilities, if they are good people, if they are making the right choices, and whether or not they are productive or unproductive. Thoughts make up who we are or who we want to be as individuals because thoughts lead to actions, and actions lead to character. Since there is so much to think about daily, it is no wonder our brain is on overdrive.
Do you know whether or not you overthink? Maybe you think you do, but then second-guess and convince yourself that you dont which then leads you to ask your original question again later. Do I overthink everything? For some people, overthinking is just the way life is for them, and they cannot help but stress about everything. Once you start overthinking, it is challenging to control or even stop it. Here are some signs your mind has you trapped and is stuck on overdrive:
1.Insomnia
Insomnia develops when people are unable to turn their thoughts off. You may be tired all day, but then when you lay down to sleep or rest, you are instantly awake. Your thoughts flood your mind with everything you havent done yet, what you want to do, or maybe you didnt perfect something you already did. Your mind obsesses about things you cannot control or things you could have controlled but didnt. This is when you find yourself trapped inside a mental prison. This is also called overthinking, which results in the development of insomnia.
