Even though Sarah studied hard for her exam, she kept thinking about everything that could go wrong. She read her textbooks again and again, unable to relax. Have you ever had similar thoughts, repeating worries in your mind? If so, you may be struggling with over thinking like Sarah.

Overthinking happens when people worry too much and keep replaying past events or feeling nervous about the future. It's like being trapped in a circle of negative thoughts. This usually comes from stress and anxiety, often caused by a fear of failure. Over thinkers often imagine the worst-case scenario, spending too much time trying to prevent bad things from appening.

Overthinking can make even simple daily tasks difficult. Instead of moving on, overthinkers keep thinking about their mistakes. Even small decisions, like choosing a restaurant or picking an outfit, can feel overwhelming0

However, it is possible to stop overthinking. First, try to recognize what triggers your thoughts and practice mindfulness, which means focusing on the present moment.
