Any suggestion on how to overthink less, or get yourself to stop overthinking when you start. This is a really bad habit I get into and I am not sure what to do.

try to look at the situation from a different perspective or focus on a goal. i also tend to overthink situations but what works for me might be different than what works for you.

If you don’t already do it I would start meditating, it’s all about calming the mind and helps us be more present, so we can pick out our positive thoughts and not focus so much on our negative ones.. If you’re new to it, stick at it, eventually you will see the massive benefits. Headspace app is £10 a month and has a lot of helpful stuff on it.

I'm new here but couldn't help noticing your username.......sketching. Are you an artist? I find making art a wonderful relief, an escape into another world. Maybe it helps you too?

When your mind over thinks you can listen to soothing music like Chris Rea and a track called on the beach helps me to escape my thoughts and think of the beach distract your mind by getting absorb in some comedy on TV playing with my pet helps me take care

Journal. I just started it and it has helped me a lot (I think). I write down what I know and facts about the situation, which helps me to rationalize and I keep rewriting the positive things in my day/life. Just by rewriting positive statements, it has helped me stay grounded
