The Details of How to STOP OVERthinking

People who tend to overthink have one thing in common.
They regard ‘anxiety’ as a target for complete elimination.

So as a means of getting rid of that anxiety, they keep ‘thinking.’
And then they are left to swim in their own pool of negative thoughts.
They try a logical approach. They try to comfort themselves that what they fear will not happen.

However, they cannot chase away their anxiety.
And as time passes, they start drowning in those thoughts. There is only one way to escape such a loop.

You have to stop the habit of being sensitive to the feeling of 'anxiety' itself. Before, when even the smallest levels of anxiety emerged,

you may have instantly started to worry and overthink. That was your defense mechanism against anxiety.
