question for the overthinkers: what’s something that has helped you while you’re in a constant state of overthinking? 

genuinely struggling atm and could use something more than “don’t think so much” or “stop overthinking and just do it” as advice.

pick 1 thing to focus on (object, breathing, anything)
watch your mind / thoughts while focusing on it
when you feel your focus begin to shift, revert to what you're focusing on, repeat over and over until you can catch yourself faster

I used to meditate daily just to train my mind to catch myself overthinking / not being able to focus and it definitely helped when I was doing it, it's a for life kind of thing though for sure :/

It feels really dumb and gets worse once you realize just how slippery your mind/thoughts are but it's 100% worth it

Set a 5-10 minute timer to start, that's all I was doing and that alone feels like a feat when you're not used to it and have "fast" thoughts (how I describe it/think of it)

Good luck, you've got this 🔥🙏

thanks sean. i think i may really really really need to give this meditation thing a shot. 🥲
