How can I stop overthinking and take action more quickly?

Focus on solving and moving to the next problem.

To make you insane and run behind millions of useless thoughts forming chains and spirals?

When you are thinking about an event where someone mildly insulted you in front of a crowd, let's say they greeted everybody else and not you. I agree, It's sad and painful, it should trigger anger, and that's okay. But what happens next is unbelievable.

Can you roll your eyes to your foolish thoughts?

The purpose of thinking is-

‘No, that's stupid, what's relevant, what best can be done?’

Does the fact that the Ukraine war wasn’t ended in 24 hours like Trump promised mean that he either lied or was too dumb to understand that it is more complicated?

Let's discuss an example.

What is the use of thinking?

Learn for the future.

‘C'mon, get going, nothing happened.’

Any external information is like a detail in a mathematics sum for you. It needs to be used well to identify the correct formula and steps to a solution.It's not written for continuous attention and thinking and dwelling on it.

Overthinking gives you instant peace, you know why Because it stabilises and focuses your mind, it clears any confusion caused by positive options. It makes you forget your life and hop between thoughts.

You are connecting dots, but without any intelligence, simply creating random dots and joining them creating a complex spiral of thoughts leading to nowhere except chaos.

Relive relevant moments.

The worst people do is to repeat the same thought again and again. It's like banging our head repeatedly on a wall in anger.

Why don't you focus on the ‘purpose of thinking’ more than merely thinking, that is, to find a solution or a path to a solution?

Sometimes, you wake up at night post a nightmare with real body reactions like chills, heart beating fast, sweating. But, was the dream real? Your mind only percieved it to be real due to lack of the thought of illusion, and same happens when people become anxious.

it's like scratching a painful wound and then regretting it later.

The moment you deviate. Correct it.

Decide.

What's the purpose?

Protect us.

The solution was simple, if that person is close and this is the first time, ask them. If they are a repeated offender and not so close, simply ditch them, and disown them. ‘Not my friend anymore. I won't pay attention to him.’ That's about it, you are free to enjoy peace of mind and life.

Read patiently to clear your mind of baseless overthinking.

You start thinking about what each one present there would be thinking, about similar events that happened throughout life, you try to explore that person's reasons and thoughts behind that action and zero in on the worst possible reason, while that fool simply forgot that they didn't greet you already. You question your esteem and identity, ‘he did that because I earn less, I am not worthy of respect. When my day comes, he will get it back with interest.’

Why don't you simply realise that you are merely thinking and not be one with your thoughts and start living them?

Can you explain the difference between sunblock and sunscreen for the face? Which one is more suitable for oily skin?

Have a core belief that, nothing is worth ruining even one precious moment of my life, nothing is the end of the world, and that peaceful existence is my ultimate goal like the entire nature.

Always wake up in the moment of overthinking and shouting stop in your mind.

Remind us of essons and learnings to deal with life.

if you thought about something in a way, and there was nothing to do; no results, it must not be repeated, no more thinking about it. Reread this.

Always realise the purpose of thinking and don't deviate from it.
