8 Things Every Over Thinker Needs to Know

The truth is, most problems aren't solved with more thinking, they’re solved with less.

You'll find most of the answers you're looking for in silence, in timeband with a clear mind.

If you can't solve a problem, stop trying to.

When you start criticizing yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, ask yourself:

“Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or to positively influence the future.”

If the answer is yes, do it and take action. If the answer is no, be at peace let it go.

You have to take action or let it go, everything else is self-harm.

You're not going to overthink your way to a better future.

You're not going to overthink your way to a better past.

All you have is NOW.

And what you do with NOW can make right of your past and make good of your future.

Make peace with yesterday, let go of tomorrow, grab hold of now.

Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflect your insecurities, fears and worries.

So it’s important to always fact check your own thoughts before accepting them, because in highly emotional situations, your thoughts will tell you stories that aren't true.

Fact check yourself.

No amount of anxiety will change your future, no amount of regret will change your past.

Peace is found in acceptance:

• Accept imperfection
• Accept uncertainty
• Accept the uncontrollable

You don't have to understand, tolerate or even forget something, but if you want peace, you must accept it.

You can go to the gym, eat healthy, do yoga, drink water and take vitamins, but if you don't directly confront the negativity in your thoughts, you will never truly be ‘healthy’.

Our health isn't measured on scales, by the size of our muscles or by the width of our waist.

True health is measured by the quality of our thoughts and the peacefulness of our mind. Health starts in your mind.
