Overthinking can lead to extreme scenarios that often don't come to pass, causing stress, anxiety, and a pessimistic mindset. Overthinking can result in mental and physical exhaustion, impact sleep, and strain relationships due to increased critical feelings and misunderstandings. To combat overthinking, I advocate for strategies like mindfulness, setting time limits for decision-making, and focusing on actionable steps. I also suggests removing oneself from the situation, utilizing breath work, engaging in activities like listening to music or reading, and even prayer.
