Overthinking: a complete guide

Have you ever felt that you are stuck in a loop of thoughts? These thoughts are going on and on in your head like a movie on repeat. You try to focus on other things. However, you are unable to bring yourself out of it. This unending loop of miserable thoughts is called overthinking. Overthinking is a complicated and common experience that many people are affected by from time to time.

One thing you must understand is that engaging in this behavior from time to time is okay. Sometimes thoughts don’t go away and the negative thoughts take up residence in our mind for some time. However, if the scenario keeps replaying in your head time and time again, you get entangled in the thoughts and lose track of the present.

These ‘what if’ scenarios can ruin your present and make it impossible for you to have a decent future. You must realise that overthinking is like having a constant mental dialogue with the same concerns and thoughts swirling in your head. This makes it extremely difficult for you to find any peace or clarity.

In this blog post, I will discuss the overthinking phenomenon; what is overthinking, how to identify the signs and symptoms of overthinking, and finally, the effect of overthinking on your daily life.

100 morning affirmations for a positive life

Morning affirmations are phrases that you can tell yourself loudly. These are mostly focused on areas where you want to bring a change. It can either be your personality, outlook towards life, boosting your confidence, etc. The primary purpose of positive affirmations is to help you overcome the negativity of life and add more positivity.

Practicing affirmations does not mean that you repeat a specific phrase like a mantra every morning. Morning affirmations are like pep-talk you give yourself to ensure that your day goes well. You remind yourself of your good qualities and focus on releasing all the negativity in you. It’s a reminder to yourself to try and have the best day possible.

Day by day you replace the negative and belittling self-talk with positive self-talk. Over time with regular practice, the pattern of thinking changes in your brain. This is not something that takes effect in a day or a week. This takes effect after regular practice over months. #affirmations #morningaffirmations #selfcare #therapy #mentalhealth #guiltfreemind

Schizoid personality: understanding the presentation

In my previous blog post, I discussed what is a schizoid personality disorder. When people hear the word schizoid, they either think of schizotypal disorder or schizophrenia, or schizoaffective disorder. The two disorders schizoaffective disorder and schizophrenia are serious cases of psychoses. Those who suffer from schizotypal disorder show symptoms that are disturbing and more visibly odd than those with a schizoid personality disorder. The confusion between these disorders arises from the use of the word schizo. The word schizo is a Latin version of the Greek word which means split. Let’s get one thing out of the way. Schizotypal disorder or schizophrenia is not the same as a schizoid personality disorder.
