Ever felt like your mind was a never-ending hamster wheel of thoughts? Overthinking can be a relentless companion, robbing us of joy, peace, and even our health. But what if there was a way to break free from this cycle? In this post, we’ll explore 8 practical strategies to help you conquer overthinking and reclaim your happiness. Discover the power of mindfulness, acceptance, and self-compassion as you embark on a journey toward a more peaceful and fulfilling life.

1. The problem is rarely the problem.

  • 99% of the harm is caused in your head, by you and your thoughts.
  • 1% of the harm is caused by reality, what actually happens and the outcome.
  • Most of the time, the problem isn't the problem. The way you think about the problem is.

2. Avoid self-rejection.

  • Don't think you deserve that opportunity? Apply for it anyways.
  • Don't think your article is good enough? Publish it anyways.
  • Don't think they'll reply to your email? Send it anyways.
  • Never overthink yourself into self-rejection.
