OVERTHINKING - A MENTAL HAZARD

"Overthinking"- The biggest cause of unhappiness. Most of the youth nowadays are undergoing a lot of stress and mental pressure due to Overthinking. The person who thinks a lot, can not act. He spends his entire time thinking about the consequences and does not initiate his work. When he does not start his work, there's no point in thinking about his success. There is no problem in world that troubles you more than your own thoughts. Our thoughts lead us to the circumstances we face. This thoughts one day turn out as fear. Fear of taking a wrong step, fear of failing, fear of being judged and fear of false anticipations. Step by step a mentally strong person falls down to a situation wherein he can't take his own decisions. He relies on other's opinion even for minute decisions of his life. 

"Am I doing the right thing?", "Will I able to do?", "What will they think?", "What if I fail?" - these are the questions which roll up in mind. In the process of finding answers for this question, the person loses his basic sense(common sense). He starts to anticipate things, he imagines every possible situation which could land him in trouble. This condition triggers "Negative thinking". Negative thinking contributes to anxiety and stress. Treating your thought processes isn't as easy as prescriptive. One cannot change his thought processing. But one can to some extent control his thoughts. This needs a lot of focus and a relaxed mind. 

If overthinking is not controlled in initial stages, then the consequences may be even more risky. Without his acknowledgement, the person may turnout as a pessimistic. His entire life will be overfilled with stress, fear, nervousness and anxiety. This may further push him into "Depression". Depression is a much more vicious situation. Depression oppresses the person in such a situation, where he's left with no other choice than 'Suicide'. The person totally loses his/herself. 

One should overcome thinking too much in early stages. He should always keep his mind relaxed. Try to do some good exercises and meditation everyday, surround himself with positive things and positive people. Meditation helps in controlling our thoughts, it helps in developing focus and maturity. Physical as well as mental health both are equally essential. So take care of your mental health and keep a check on your loved ones.
