How to manage overthinking
Overthinking can be very enriching, but stressful situations can send the overthinker into overdrive.
Tips to help bring back focus:
- Yoga can help quieten the mind.
- Challenge your brain in a soft-focus way, such as counting back in threes from 100.
- Repetitive tasks are relaxing, such as running, knitting, sewing, or rhythmic music.
- If you feel overwhelmed, concentrate on the next five minutes. "What do I need right now? What can I see?"
- Find something safe that needs minimal planning to help release adrenaline.
