What do you think now?

Have you ever experienced the moment of you always think other things, doing something else? I have. I am an overthinker, which means I think a lot even during the meditation that I have recently started. For example, I think about what I should have done, what I am going to do tomorrow, and I often worry about my future.

Recently, I have found and listen to very interesting, meaningful and helpful podcast. I followed the podcast in a moment. I think it is good things that I share it for those who have the same problems and those who are likely to overthink.

Let’s get though it!

1 Problems being an overthinker

As I mentioned, I am an overthinker who think a lot about anything from important things to things that I cannot control. For example, during walking, cooking and even eating, I tend to think other things such as about what I need to do, what I want to do, what kind of posts I can post on Instagram, and what if I cannot pass the English exam to apply for master degree and more…

It is very stressful for me, because I cannot concentrate the moment and I recognize if I think a lot, it is not useful and even after a few minutes later, I don’t remember what I thought at all.

2 Why personal thinking time is helpful to me as an overthinker

Now, I take personal thinking time before 10 minutes I go to sleep. Personal thinking time is the time that I can think whatever I want. Thanks to having the time, I can think“ It is OK not to think about now, because I can think about that during my personal thinking time.”

In the podcast, there are some tips to implement personal thinking time in a real life, which helps me a lot. I highly recommend you checking the podcast #288.
