How to stop Overthinking permanently?

[DelayedMist]

I’ve been so stuck in my head for months with planning everything in life (the aspects of life), routines, to - do lists, schedules, etc and not actually getting anywhere funnily enough. I’ve been thinking by Overthinking things was actually problem solving, and honestly I couldn’t have been more wrong and I finally realise this now. I want to be free from this loop from good, How do I get free? How do I stop worrying about whether I’m not going to enjoy my youth enough, travel enough and make sure to enjoy many different parts of life?

I know it’s unhealthy to follow this, but this is like an example of the life aspects list that I was following, though I added much, much more onto it such as personality, sexuality, having fun and pretty much almost anything and many different choices and decisions you should make, which is obviously overthinking.

I added onto like 45 different things onto this unhealthy plan

See that the only actionable moment is right now.

Hence anything different than the next thing to do is just waste.

Also planning long term is just guessing. It rarely happens the way you expect.

So it's simpler, and more effective, just to think in terms of the next thing to do. On the smallest increment, see the result, and select the next step from there.

unfortunately, if you are an overthinker, it us NOT something you can change. its like if you have dyslexia, it us permanent and unchangeable. you can only, at best, learn to cope and deal with it. trying to change it is also like trying to change a person from being attracted to what ever gender/s they are attracted to.

Unfortunately I am one too… recently I’m starting to think I have anxiety? Overthinking can also be a form of ADHD. I would suggest try slowing yourself down and go at your own pace with your life to enjoy it.

But just so you know, overthinking means you're intellectual, careful and cautious. Some people don't think at all! Best be overthinking than being a brainless impulsive spontaneous sheep. Even if it gives you headache.

An easy life is an happy life, the more demanding you make your life the harder you will have to be happy. Just don't ignore looking ahead to avoid future headaches. So don't waste the resources you do earn.

You don't, it's normal human behaviour. You can try meditating to train yourself to live more in the moment, but you'll be overthinking.

You breath the universe and nature in your lungs while just feeling your existence.
