You can overcome overthinking!

-
Overthinking is when a person always thinks of either what has happened in the past or what could happen in the future. Eventually, they become totally ignorant or absent from the present moment. Statistics say that we all have a certain amount of overthinking in us, especially young adults between the ages of 18 to 27. The reason is that we are subjected to
a lot of social, academic and career-related pressures, especially in life's transition phases.

Why is this happening? Why do we all of a sudden zone out from situations and slip into a depressed or loner state where we feel that the world is against us?

The reason is that our mind is confused, often in a dilemma, a mindset filled with negative thoughts, where we feel doubtful about the choices that we make. We compare ourselves with our peer group, we look at all that we do not have and totally forget to count our strengths and blessings. 

 So what can be done to recover from this overthinking state?

 Here are a few things, in my opinion, that can really help: 

 1. Maintain a Journal
 Maintaining a personal diary may help you to clear your mind as you will be writing down all your thoughts, events that happened on that particular day and much more. 

 2. Indulge in good music
 Listening to upbeat music will help you recover from negative thoughts. It will give you a boost of energy and freshness that will make you happy. 

 3. Talk long walks
    Long walks have proven to be beneficial for both the mental and physical state of a person, being regular will help you reduce anxiety and depression.

4. Surround yourself with positivity
    The best remedy to overthinking is to be with a positive person who is full of fun and energy. This type of person will make you laugh and help you stay a happy and positive frame of mindset, so go and enjoy the company.

5. Don't forget to do what you love to do
    Start doing what you love regularly, and follow your passion. It can be any activity such as watching sitcoms, gym, drawing, sports, etc. If you like it, do that activity regularly which will give you all the positive energy that is needed!

Try to always be in the present, and remember that all your powers lie in the present moment.

Too much of screen time!

 I realize that I am always on my phone expecting texts or calls from WhatsApp, instagram, and from other apps. Whenever I hear the sound of a notification I get excited to be disappointed by some random notification sent by either zomato, swiggy, dunzo,etc.... Most of us can stay on our mobile phones watching content for hours together but we can't meditate for 5 mins each day, read a book for half an hour without a break, or converse with someone without checking our phones. WHY? I believe that we are becoming more and more restless day by day due to the influence of social media and other tech tools which we use on day to day basis, we want our lives to be super fast like movies and moments like Instagram reels so fast that we don't give a damn about what is happening and just keep scrolling next again and again till we realize that we have not paid attention to anything and life is clueless now with guilt overloaded in our mind. Social media is addictive, movies are addicti
