Ways to Cope with Overthinking

The two main culprits for overthinking are usually when people second-guess all their decisions or they can't accept that they don't have control and develop a "Perfectionism" as a way to cope.

Here a several ways you can stop the constant worrying:

  • Set a "worry time"
  • Acknowledge the "thought" or "worry" for "worry time"
  • Figure out the things that are in your control and the things that aren't.
  • Develop positive self-talk
  • Meditation
  • Replace worries with truths - you can't control the past but you can control the present
  • Replace "what ifs" with solutions.
  • Accept the unknown. We all face it.
