Have you ever found yourself thinking about something so much that it keeps you awake at night?

Like there's a little voice inside your head that keeps talking and talking?

You're not alone. A lot of us go through that.

Overthinking is when we think about something too much.

We replay things in our heads, worry about the future, or feel bad about the past.

It's like a movie playing in our minds that we can't stop.

Sometimes, overthinking starts when we feel stressed or worried.

Maybe there's a problem, or we're not sure about something.

Our minds can start to work overtime, trying to find answers.

Other times, it can happen for no clear reason. Our brains can get used to thinking a lot.

There are signs to look for if you think you might be overthinking.

If you find yourself thinking about the same thing again and again, it might be a sign.

Feeling worried a lot could also be a sign.

And when we're always thinking about problems, we might not feel as good about ourselves.

Sometimes, we want everything under our control.

We want everything to be perfect, so we think about things a lot.

We try to find the best way to do something, but sometimes it can be too much.

Another sign is thinking too much about the past.

Maybe something bad happened in the past, and now we're afraid of it happening again.

We all make mistakes, but if you keep replaying them in your mind, it can be tough.

It's like watching an old movie that you don't want to see anymore.

Worrying about the future is another common sign.

It's like trying to predict what will happen tomorrow, next week, or even next year.

Of course, it's normal to plan for the future, but when it starts to cause you stress, it might be too much.

And let's not forget about the world around us. With social media and all the news, it can feel like there's too much information.

Our brains try to understand it all, and sometimes it gets out of hand.

Another popular sign is when it's hard to make decisions.

You might think about all the possible things that could happen, and it feels like there's no right answer.

One more sign is when you keep thinking about things that happened in the past.

You replay the same scenes in your head, and it doesn't feel good.

It's important to remember that everyone is different.

Some people might have one or two of these signs, while others might have more.

The key is to listen to your body and your mind.

Let's talk about how overthinking can affect us.

It's more than just a busy mind. Overthinking can really change how we feel.

When we overthink, it can lead to feeling worried or scared all the time. This is called anxiety.

Sometimes, overthinking can also make us feel sad and hopeless. This is called depression.

It's like a dark cloud hanging over us.

Overthinking can also show up in our bodies. Maybe you find it hard to sleep, or you feel tired all the time.

Your head might hurt, or your stomach might feel upset.

It's like our bodies are trying to tell us something isn't right.

Overthinking can also mess with our daily life.

When our minds are racing, it's hard to focus on other things.

We might find it difficult to do our work or enjoy spending time with people.

So, what should we do to calm our busy minds?
