Why do I fail to Stop Overthinking

Do you have control over your thinking or overthinking controls you?

As far as I accept OVERTHINKING — travels in every human mind and most of the time but it wins to attract humans and then eventually but we fall.

There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
— William Shakespeare

Perhaps you never had control over your thinking. In such cases, your brain spontaneously creates a thought and you drown in it.

In our life, we drop into such circumstances that we are forced to indulge in our thoughts and aspire that our brains stop thinking now. Although, our brains can assuredly stop thinking when our hearts stop winking.

Do you wish your heart stop winking — Definitely Not, likewise your brain can’t stop to think because your brain mechanism is to think. Don’t hope that the brain stops thinking, rather stop negative thinking.

And. What will be the consequences if you encourage the overthinking or to endeavor of it — sure, you’ll go through life negative and frustrated. You’ll be sad. You’ll never find inside of you the real character who is capable to achieve anything in life.

Do you Easily Allow Your Mind to Dictate You?

In my opinion, your mind won’t dictate you on how should you think, you must tell your mind what you desire to think. Ponder on it before to think anything.

You Control Your Overthinking:

Here’s the guidance for you. Slight positive thinking can never produce positive outcomes. Likewise, a slight bit of diet can never work losing weight.
And if we talk about an exercise ONCE a week and expect to be physically fit — the story remains the same.

Similarly, it implements to stop overthinking. A little bit does not get the job done. It has to be control positively each and every day until it becomes a habit.

And. I must clean off everyone’s mind that every thought has always been in your control and after you remove the grime from your brain, you’ll be able to see the world clearly again.

If you begin to fill your mind with delightful thoughts, you would never aspire your brain to stop thinking. The whole new world will open to you if you wash the filth of your thinking, the point is just to shift the perspective of your thoughts.

Let’s Imagine — your mind is a jungle and it has variant paths and you need to walk on those paths, you would definitely feel it is slightly easy to walk in those paths that are present. However, to shape a new path would be too hard. And eventually, you grip the paths that lead negativity and wrong thoughts.

Let’s Do Change — stop there in the jungle! but take a turn and start fabricating a new path that would you want to walk on and then you conquer the world of you. But, what if the new path seems difficult and it demands additional hard work. Remember this a path you want to walk on and it will be far better for you.

Let’s Break the Ever going Pattern — In Psychology where it calls this pattern interruption which you have to smash. When you observe your mind is leading you to negative thoughts or overthinking, cease right there. Talk to yourself for a while and break this pattern which has been walking with you for a long, then say loudly — this is wrong — this will be wrong — or this has been wrong.

Let’s Make A Solution to Change Overthinking — Instead of making thoughts about what you don’t have — think of all you already have and be thankful of. Doing this again and again the path that you made in the jungle for yourself would embellish easier to walk on. Moreover, your chosen path will be happening brighter and sunnier. You’ll see in the whole world with a beautiful outlook and absolutely you’ll find inner peace inside of you.

Let’s End — This all does not belong to bookish talks, it belongs to the reality of the mind. The mind can’t stop thinking but you can instruct it well. Now you have a choice — either you will become a slave to your mind or to a master of your mind. And I must say in the conclusion — People who cannot control themselves can never control others. Ponder on it.

Thank You.
