Overthinking: Habit

Overthinking is perhaps the habit of the evolved man, in some sense an evolutionary need to prevent stupid actions which are taken without enough thought. But in the new world, where hunting no longer is needed and where mental stability is placed above all, this tends to be an inconvenience.

We all overthink, especially about the thinks we care for - friends, family, love, studies and what not. In often such times, it can be noticed that one tends to completely be isolated from their prduence, with emotions taking control of the engine. It causes the panic attacks, wherein the body physically tries to respond to this mental stimulus. It's harmful, for both the person and the people around him. It should be noted, that overthinking is not related to depression, it's more like crashing a computer when you open a really heavy game or laptop. The brain exceeds it's comprehension limits, beyond which lies plain fear. The ultimun of every overthinking - fear. Fear of loss, fear of being right about all the overthought situations, fear of having to face that so prophecised reality. 

Can this be completely avoided ? No, not at all. Ovrrhinking is a sign that you actually care about the situation, as long as you care you will overthink. So, how to reduce it ? 

There are some things, I couldn't help but notice. Taking deep breaths actually works !! Atleast, it helps you get a firm grasp of the situation. Secondly, doing what you love helps- writing, drawing , reading, running, singing, playing etc anything that can distract you works

Third, having someone to hear your thoughts completely. Someone, to whom you can talk without filters about anything under the sun. Sharing your views, gaining non judgemental feedback and then emotional care is crucial while overhthinking.

So fast paced is our society, overthinking can now be seen in every corner of the country and world. Especially amongst us teenagers, this is far from rare. So, it is only natural to feel it, but it is stupid to not do anything about it. Overthinking should be stopped, to get a calm pradisical and peaceful energy vibe.

Thank you !!
