Live In Reality Not Inside Your Head

​Everyone is guilty of overthinking. How can we not when there are just so many things happening around us, right? It can be something personal, issues at work or school, and then there is the society, and the government. We think so much that we forget how to live the actual life. In thinking so much, we stay longer inside our heads instead of the present that lies before us.

​The Use of Thoughts
Our mind is the most powerful thing. It can be lethal by being just your brain. It can carry so many thoughts, but what are your thoughts mainly about? Often, our thoughts are not real or things that are yet to happen. We create these scenarios inside our head if we do this and that.

It is worrying too much, and it does not do any good. What we can do to change our mindset and not overthink is to be conscious of what we think. Our thoughts should only be consist of:

• Think of the solutions to the problems. A problem that already exists and not the ones we just assume in our heads.
• Learning and absorbing knowledge. Ask yourself: how are you using your experience and learning to change your life? How do you manifest the things you learn to make yourself better?

If we focus on these two and only these, we can live more in reality instead of inside our heads.

Start Feeling
Another reason why overthinking is bad is we tend to forget other things. We cage our mind in specific thoughts until we overlook other aspects of life. How many times did you lose sleep by overthinking of tomorrow that is yet to come? Were you able to look up at the sky today and appreciate the sunset? Sometimes, we neglect these little things without meaning to.

Instead of overthinking, try to start feeling. Appreciate the nature and your surroundings. Start saying thank you more often. Say sorry whenever you are in the wrong. The key to living, in reality, is to be in the now, not in the past, the future, or your head.

It is not easy to train the mind, but with conscious and constant practice, it should pay off eventually.
