8 Things Every Over-thinker Needs to know ASP:!
  • The problem is rarely the problem.

99% of the harm is caused in your head, by you and your thoughts.

1% of the harm is caused by reality, what actually happens and outcome.

Most of the time, the problem isn't the problem. The way you think about the problem is.

  • Avoid self-rejection.

Don't think you deserve that opportunity?

Apply for it anyways

Don't think you article is good enough?

Publish it anyways.

Don't think they'll reply to your email?

Send it anyways

Never overthink yourself into self-rejection

  • Silence and time.

The truth is, most problems aren't solved with more thinking, and they’re solved with less.

You'll find most of the answers you're looking for in silence, in time band with a clear mind.

If you can't solve a problem, stop trying to.

  • An important question.

When you start criticising yourself for past mistakes, or seeing disaster around every corner, ask yourself.

"Is there anything I can do right now to change the past or to positively influence the future?"

If the answer is yes, do it - take action.

If you answer is no, be a peace let it go.

You have to take action or let it go, everything else is self-harm.

  • The power of now.

You're not going to overthink your way to a better future.

You're not going to over thing your way to a better past.

All you aver is NOW.

And what you do with NOW can make right of your past and make good of your future.

Make peace with yesterday, let go of tomorrow, grab hold of now.

  • Fact check your own thoughts.

Your thoughts will create scenarios in your mind that reflect your insecurities, fears and worries.

So it’s important to always fact-check your own thoughts before accepting them, because in highly emotional situations, your thoughts will tell you stories that aren't true.

Fact check yourself.

  • Acceptance is peace.

No amount of anxiety will change your future, no amount of regret will change your past.

Peace is found in acceptance:

- Accept imperfection.

- Accept uncertainty.

- Accept the uncontrollable

You don't have to understand, tolerate or even forget something, but you want peace, you must accept it

  • Health starts in your mind.

You can go to the gym, eat healthy, do yoga, drink water and take vitamin, but if you don't directly confront the negativity in your thoughts, you will never truly be "healthy"

Our health isn't measured on scales, by the size of our muscles or by the width of our waist.

True health is measured by the quality of our thoughts and the peacefulness of our mind.

Health starts in your mind.
