overthinking

I have always been prone to overthinking. As I grew up, I struggled a lot with my thoughts and these thoughts and beliefs used to cause me a lot of anxiety. We all have thoughts we have trouble dealing with...⁣
⁣
However, I've recently realized how powerful my thoughts are and how my thoughts have a massive impact on how I perceive my reality. ⁣
⁣
As long as we are unaware of our thoughts, they can dictate our feelings and our lives.⁣
⁣
The human mind is extremely powerful, and our thoughts directly influence how we feel and perceive things. As an example, if you're experiencing cognitive distortions, white and black thinking, overgeneralization, etc., and you're convinced that you are a failure, your mind will find evidence to support that belief.⁣
By contrast, if you develop positive self-talk, if you silence your inner critic, and, most importantly, if you challenge your own thoughts, you will better understand your mind, and, as a result, you will eventually gain control over your thoughts and mind. ⁣
⁣
That's why it's so important to put your thoughts into perspective and to become aware of them by asking yourself the following questions: Where does this thought come from? What can you learn from this thought? What is this thought is trying to tell you? What is the bigger picture? Is there another way to approach the situation? If this situation happens, what can you do to prepare yourself? ⁣
⁣
Being self-aware is a great way to reduce stress and build mental resilience. Reframing your beliefs and asking yourself the right questions will help you take control of your mind during stressful occasions.⁣

You deserve to feel safe in your own mind ❤ ⁣
