How Can We Stop Overthinking?

by heytaMar 20, 2023

How many evenings have seemed endless due to the constant over-analyzing we do in our minds? If you belong to the category of “overthinkers”, you understand exactly what we mean. A simple and innocent thought can very easily become inflated and end up being a torture of our psychology. Most problems are created by ourselves in the first place, due to the fact that we often allow them to creep into us, focusing on the worst case scenario and not on their solution.

He nods with a slight eye roll. I wonder if I sound trite or even a bit paternalistic.

Do men need to be reminded to care for themselves? Is this not obvious? Like reminding someone not to die?
