Stop trying so hard. Sometimes forcing yourself will only make things worse. If you don’t feel positive then just go with it. It will clear up after it runs its course. Sometimes faster than if you are trying to counteract it.

Have u tried a distraction that is absorbing like walking or watching tv? Taking any action might be of value.

I often try to stay active when getting outside of my head. You could be communicating with others, replying to others on here, or any source of communication is good. I think that this could help you try and getting out of your head.

Overthinking is something we all do, you're not alone

Understanding where our experience really comes from can give you clarity within and the ability to make the right decisions when you need them

Exactly. You've got it.

Can you keep a secret? - that's what stops almost every one of us from doing what we want to do - we talk ourselves out of something ( it's called getting in our own way ).

There is a way to change your mindset so you can become unstuck
