How to Avoid Over-Thinking

onlinecounsellingcollege:

1. When you feel bogged down and you can’t clear your mind, do something physical, or get some exercise.

2. Set a time limit for your ‘thinking time’ then make yourself move on to doing something else.

3. Interrupt the thinking process or distract yourself by diverting your attention onto something very different.

4. Stop discussing what concerns you with everyone you meet. You’ll just end up confused, and you won’t know what to do.

5. Accept that uncertainty is part of this life. We don’t have all the facts, or know what’s further down the road.

6. Throw yourself into a project, a hobby or some work. That will force you to refocus on something else instead.

7. Let your mind go blank and just relax for a while. It will help you see more clearly when you start to think, next time.
