Have you ever noticed that sometimes it’s like our mind has a mind of its own?
We find our mind going round and round in circles about a problem or life in general, but then we notice that we are not getting to a solution or clarity. As a matter of fact, it could leave us more confused and anxious. This I would refer to as “overthinking”.
Whew! It can be exhausting when this happens and this can happen to the best of us.
Having a good thought is great, but when our thinking pattern begins to affect our psychological well-being, happiness, work, or any aspect of our lives it’s time to make deliberate efforts to identify and modify.
Moreover, there is a direct relationship between overthinking and anxiety, as well as depression. Moreover, analysis paralysis applies here – the more we think, the worse off we feel, without a solution in view.
