Anxiety, stress, overwhelm. These can all be by products of overthinking things.

If you sometimes catch yourself overthinking and not taking any action, here are a few practical tips that can help:

✅ Get a different perspective of the situation. Do not waste time overthinking, gain a new perspective by seeking out the experiences of others who have been here before.

✅ Ask yourself, does this really matter? If so, why? What exactly makes this worth the anxiety and stress?

✅ Focus on what could and has gone right instead of what could go wrong. Hundreds of things go right every day, we just do not focus on them! List them.

✅ Break your pattern. Notice how you would normally deal with a situation and set up a trigger to help you break that unhelpful pattern.

✅ Remember you are in control and you have access to everything you need to solve this problem.
