Many of us have been consumed by overthinking at some stage in our lives. It is usually caused by us over analyzing situations and being far too tough on ourselves.

Overthinking can make us see problems were there are none, and by us not thinking with a clear, rational mindset.

Overthinking can consume your energy and decrease your ability to make rational decisions. It can also increase your likelihood of experiencing stress and anxiety, which can lead to health issues.

To stop overthinking, try to be more aware of your thoughts and perhaps start using a journal to get your problems down on paper.
