Overthinking is a disease.

Guilt. 

Worry. 

Anxiety.
All have their root in just one thing - Overthinking.
Overthinking is a disease.

So here is a small story of overthinker Sunita and how she became worryless.

Sunita worried a lot. A small thing like a grocery list could turn into a big worry in her head. She would imagine people making fun of her if she forgot something. Every text message that wasn't answered right away made her imagine the sender was mad at her. Her worry made it hard to do things, like writing a report for her job.

One day, her cat knocked over a lamp and made a mess. Cleaning it up helped Sunita focus on something real instead of her worries. She realized that focusing on the present moment helped her worry less.

The next day, Sunita tried a new way to work on her report. She set a timer to work for a short time, then took a short break. This helped her break the big job into smaller tasks that were easier to handle.

It wasn't always easy. Sunita still worried sometimes, but now she knew how to fight back. The more she practiced focusing on the present and breaking big tasks into smaller ones, the less her worry controlled her.

Techniques to tackle overthinking:

Challenge your thoughts: Are your worries based on reality or worst-case scenarios?

Focus on solutions: Can you make a plan to address the situation?
