According to Healthplace.com, "Anxiety and overthinking tend to be evil partners. One of the horrible hallmarks of any type of anxiety disorder is the tendency to overthink everything. The anxious brain is hypervigilant, always on the lookout for anything it perceives to be dangerous or worrisome".

We have to come evolve over time from humans that had to face vastly different threats than what we currently experience today. Yet, our minds often still tell us that we are in life or death situations in our VASTLY tamer world.

Overthinking wastes both time and energy.

Here are 3 Strategies you can use to stop overthinking

1) Give yourself 5 minutes to worry/think- Write down everything you are worried about and what the worst thing that can happen from the situation is. It's almost never as bad as we think. After 5 minutes stop and take action towards what you are worried about.

2) Meditation- I use the HeadSpace app. I've talked about meditation many, many times before but it really is the closest thing to the "silver bullet" for healing and soothing your worried mind.

3) Exercise. Go run, swim, lift weights, hell even walk. Anything that gets you moving is extremely beneficial for you. To maximize the effectiveness of your exercise, try to focus on what you're currently doing and your worries will slowly drift away and you'll forget what you were even worried about~!
