Overthinking cost me 20 years...
Don't be like me.
MUTE YOUR OVERTHINKING:
= THREAD =
1. What are your destructive thoughts?
To know where to go next, it is always good to find out where we are.
What are YOUR destructive thoughts, what are the things you worry about, that keep you up all night?
Write them down!
Write. Them. Down.
Be as specific as possible, the clearer the better.
Now we know what we fight against.
To go deeper, find out where they are coming from, and what is the source of those thoughts.
Drama and situations from the past are most likely the answer.
Or are these current situations?
2. Step back & look at how u r reacting
As we now should have an idea of what we are fighting against, let's have a look at what are our reactions.
What are the mechanisms we are trying to cope with these situations?
Make a list. An inventory of your emotions so to speak.
Take the list from 1. and now connect them to your second list.
Please, as hurtful as this might be, try to be as specific as possible here.
We might act ugly sometimes, I know believe me, but we can only change what we know of.
So be honest and write down how you react.
