SEE HOW OVERTHINKING IS KILLING YOU...
Overthinking means to think too much about (something): to put too much time into thinking about or analyzing (something) in a way that is more harmful than helpful.
Overthinkers may have trouble distinguishing between the fear of making a mistake, which leads to overthinking to the point where they make no decision, and a deep feeling that something is wrong.
Knowing if fear or intuition is guiding your behavior will help you get out of your head and take the next necessary steps.
SIGNS THAT YOU OVERTHINK
Difficulty following along with and contributing to a conversation because you go over potential responses or statements time and again until the conversation has either ended or the window of opportunity for speaking was lost
Continually comparing yourself to the people around you and how you measure up to them
Focusing on worst-case scenarios either involving yourself or the ones you love
Reliving past failures or mistakes over and over again and you're unable to move past them
Worrying about future tasks and/or goals until they feel almost impossible to accomplish
Reliving a past traumatic experience (such as abuse or the loss of a loved one) leaving you unable to cope with it
An inability to slow down the racing of vague thoughts, worries or emotions
HOW TO OVERCOME OVERTHINKING
Don't think of what can go wrong, but what can go right.
Distract yourself into happiness. Meditate of positive outcome.
Stop waiting for perfection.
Accept your best. Celebrate your little wins.
Know you are a work in progress,you are not above making mistake.
Be grateful for what you have as you wait for what you are expecting.
Stop overthinking and act
