30 Helpful Quotes On Overthinking
Thinking about things can be good, but overthinking things can cause anxiety and stress.
I think we've all, at some point, reexamined a conversation we had with someone. It could be someone at work or a family member. But whoever it was, you were suddenly worried about how you sounded or the words you used. You feel a bit embarrassed. And it keeps jumping into your thoughts. And I may go out on a limb here, but I would guess that person you were talking to didn't give that conversation a second thought. But still, we run it over and over in our heads. Just let it go. Don't sweat the small stuff.
There are times when we should do a bit of overthinking. Things like changing jobs, moving to a new location, or buying a house. These are all things that should be given a lot of thought. Make a list of pros and cons. Talk with family and friends. Overthinking will not guarantee that you will make the correct decision. But remember that life doesn't come with too many guarantees.
