HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING?
Thinking is not bad, but an excess of thoughts increases anxiety because it sucks your energy. We need thoughts and imaginations for doing anything, but if we get unnecessary thoughts our actions are changed accordingly. If you want to stop overthinking you should understand what you think and from where you have collected these thoughts and why those thoughts coming into your mind. Whatever we see, we listen, we feel, and read that stores in our memory, and it is included in our thoughts, it can be bad or good according to our perceptions. If we continue to store various unnecessary (negative) information or we keep unfulfilled desires can be the cause of overthinking.
