5 Ways to Get out of Your Overthinking
Stop overthinking
Life is interesting. We all have dreams and goals that we want to accomplish but our brains are always in the way. Our reptilian brains take over and we do what the Charter’s say we all go ape S#$%. It end up our minds playing tricks on us. I think it plays a huge part in our narrative.
The other day I was furious at another person and I couldn’t shake it. I spoke to my therapist about it, I lulled around about it. Finally I told my boyfriend that I think I create this crazy scenarios in my brain. Which I think a lot of folks do. After I was stumped for a day or two.
I saw a quote:
We suffer more often in imagination than in reality
-Seneca
When we overthink waste time and blame ourselves. It’s a very natural thing. Here are 5 ways to get out of it
Fear Setting
It’s Tim Time Now. Tim Ferriss has a exercise that is pretty Machiavellian, but it works. You take each of your dreams and you write out your fears. the goal is to write down the fears and find a way to prevent them from happening or repair them if they did. Here’s is Tim TED talk about it.
Gratitude Journal
As corny as these can be, you realize how privilege we are in this society. Or should I say grateful. We just came back from the holidays which we have days off from. Most people have the luxury to a phone. Celebrate the Glow up
Therapy/Life Coach
This is a tricky one because most people get trapped in their monkey mind here, but there are several prompts that you can take with you . By having a guided prompt you are better able to focus your thoughts.
Go outside
Super simple. Walk it off.
Fear Set again pair it with Hypnosis
Until we are able to get out of those thoughts we have to look at them intensely. My woo woo request is that you find a hypnosis podcast and the two activities together. Here’s my favorite fear Hypnosis podcast.
