Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing this book, and thank you for doing so. This book will help you in understanding the potential threat of overthinking and the ways to avoid falling into its vicious trap.

Thinking is such a powerful process. It has helped us evolve into such efficient and powerful beings. It is due to the power of thinking that we are ruling this world despite being physically weak and inferior to several other races that have existed for much longer than our race. However, like any other powerful process, when it gets out of control, it can be devastating.

It is no wonder that in this age of comforts, we all are suffering our minds to a great extent. We have little control over the things that the mind thinks about. It can easily drag us to negative thoughts and overpower us.

Most people feel helpless in front of their overthinking minds, and this is a reason more than 40 million adults in the US are suffering from anxiety disorders. The count of the victims of other mental disorders in which overthinking and the resulting stress has a definitive role to play is even scarier.

An even bigger problem than this number is the percentage of people who treat overthinking as a problem and seek help. A mere 36.9% of the people suffering from serious mental disorders ever seek medical help. Most people suffering from overthinking don’t even consider it a real problem at all.

People believe that it is the job of the mind to think, and if their mind is thinking a bit more, than it is overactive. People don’t realize that if more than the required amount of sugar in the blood can be a problem. If more than the required amount of pressure in the blood can be a problem, then why thinking more than the required amount is normal.

This book will help you in understanding all these questions in detail and explain the problem of overthinking in detail.

In this book, I have tried to explain the concept and the causes of overthinking in as simple terms as possible. The root causes of overthinking are not complex, they can be addressed easily, but if you allow the brain to carry on the habit of overthinking for long, recovering can be difficult, tiresome, and strenuous.

This book will prove to be helpful to everyone. Either you have been facing the problem of overthinking for long or feel that you have started falling in the trap of the mind recently. You will get simple, easy, and actionable solutions for the problems you are facing in your mind.

Many people make the mistake of rubbishing or discarding the problem of overthinking as inconsequential. Nowadays, even medical science has proven that the simple-looking process of overthinking can not only lead to mental and emotional issues, but it can also cause neurological disorders. It is a problem that not only affects the functioning of the mind but also affects the smooth running of the body.

This book will provide simple and actionable ways to bring changes in the way you think. It will help you in understanding the ways to modify your thought process and get out of the trap of overthinking.

It will also provide you the techniques to break the deadlock caused by overthinking. It will give you ways to come out of the habit of inactivity and indecision.

This book will introduce you to the effective practice of meditation and the ways in which meditation can help you in breaking the habit of overthinking.

This book will not only provide the basics of meditation but will also give you an in-depth understanding of the practice for countering the overthinking problem.

It will also give you pro-tips to beat the negative thought processes in the mind and gain a winning mentality.

This book is a sincere attempt to help you in overcoming the issue of overthinking and find peace, joy, and success in life.

I hope that you will be able to get the full advantage of this book.

There are plenty of books on this subject on the market, thanks again for choosing this one! Every effort was made to ensure it is full of as much useful information as possible; please enjoy it!

Chapter 1: What is Overthinking

An overthinker is a simple person with a complex mind Overthinking is the helpless state in which you are unable to stop your mind from thinking about a thing you don’t want to think about.

Confused?...

Let us begin with a small but interesting story…

Once upon a time in the far east, a person proud of his mental prowess went to a very famous monk to get the knowledge of mystical powers. He took the recommendation letter from the king so that the monk doesn’t engage in dilly-dallying. He wanted the powers quickly.

When the request was made to the monk, he didn’t have many options. Acting against the recommendation of the king could prove to be fatal.

But, the monk had his reservations too. Back then, it was a tradition to impart the knowledge only to the deserving. Every teacher had a great responsibility to find the deserving candidate, and then only he could pass on that knowledge. Many powerful teachings are believed to have passed into oblivion because the teachers didn’t find the deserving students.

Here was a student who wanted fast delivery of the teachings without having to pass the test of time and merit.

The monk thought for a while and then agreed to impart the knowledge.

He gave that person 3 simple mantras to chant: BuddhamSaranamGachhami

DhammamSaranamGachhami

SanghamSaranamGachhami

However, there were 3 Very Important Conditions to be followed:

1. That person had to stand in chest-deep water early in the morning to chant these mantras.

2. He had to chant these mantras 7 times 3. He must not think about Monkeys while chanting these mantras

That person felt he was on the seventh cloud. He couldn’t believe it would be so easy to get mystical powers.

The monk again reminded him that he must not think about monkeys, or else the mantras wouldn’t work. That person assured that there was no reason for him to think about the monkeys.

But, somehow, his thoughts were now getting diverted towards monkeys. The harder he tried to brush these thoughts, the more aggressively they attacked. He couldn’t sleep for the whole night thinking about those damn monkeys.

The next morning when he went into the water, more than the mantras, he was thinking about the monkeys, knowing fully well that he doesn’t have to think about them. He came out of the water without getting any success.

Soon the thought of those monkeys took over every aspect of his thought process. He simply couldn’t shake them off.

He saw those monkeys in everything around him. All his thoughts were simply about the monkeys.

He went running to the monk and pleaded to do anything to get those monkeys off his mind.

He didn’t want anything else in this world. He was on the verge of losing all that he had earned to date due to those monkeys that didn’t even exist.

This is the kind of effect overthinking can have on a person.

It can be a simple thought gone out of your control. A small fear, insecurity, phobia, quandary, or apprehension can seep into your mind and overpower it. If not handled properly, it can prove to be very difficult to shake off.

The habit of overthinking doesn’t need special circumstances or situations to develop, but the surrounding environment can play an important role in it.

Are You an Overthinker?

To some extent, we all like to think things through. It is a good thing. Taking actions without thinking clearly or without reasonable foresight can be foolish. However, for some people, this caution takes the form of fear and leads to indecision and inaction.

Do you find yourself incapable of taking your mind of certaindisturbing thoughts?

Do you feel that certain things can keep drawing your thoughtstime and again towards them?

Do you fear that thinking about a few things can make you feelhighly insecure, and yet you can’t stop thinking about them?

Does the fear of something going wrong often leads toinaction?

Do you agree that the fear of getting up late in the morning canmake you sleepless at night?

Do you start drawing far-fetched conclusions even in slightlysketchy situations?

Overthinking is a problem more common than you can think. To an extent, we all overthink. Even the most impulsive or spontaneous people around you overthink something or the other. Everyone has some hidden fears and soft spots. The problem really begins when a person starts overthinking all the time and about most of the things.

Overthinking can have disastrous effects on the life of the affected person. It can bring a person to a standstill. It can lead to strain in relationships, indecisions, inaction, and inner turmoil. It is a problem that you will need to identify and handle properly.

Defining Overthinking

If you observe closely, overthinking is a misnomer.

Thinking is a conscious process. You make a conscious decision to put your mind to something, and that process is called thinking. However, most overthinkers are simply trying to stop that process and don’t have any active control over it. Yet, we like to call it overthinking.

A person would only try to stop this process when he/she knows that it isn’t working in his/her favor. Unfortunately, by this time, the victim loses all the control on the thought process and feels helpless. This problem is commonly known as overthinking.

Overthinking doesn’t always start as a negative process. It starts as a thought about the impact of the events that have taken place and the ways they can shape the future course of events. It is just a measure to get a head start so that you can plan better. It may be that you would like to think it through but don’t want to remain engaged to that thought.

The point where you are not able to detach yourself from the thought, the problem begins. This problem is popularly known as Overthinking.

It is the point where you lose active control over your thoughts.

The subconscious takes over and begins bombarding related memories, contexts, references, and hidden fears. It extrapolates.

Thinking is a mental exercise. It is a healthy game that your mind must play on a daily basis to remain healthy. It is a game it enjoys. However, this game can only be joyful as long as you have complete control.
