HOW I DEAL WITH OVERTHINKING


Are you an overthinker just like me? Do you have these phases in your life wherein you tend to make things complicated? Like making things worse to the point that you're hurting yourself because of thinking too much. Here's some of my ways on dealing with overthinking. 

1. DISTRACT YOUR MIND. Whatever it is, find a way to distract your mind from overthinking. Do some chores at home, watch your fave movie or funny shows (I prefer Korean Variety shows like Running Man) it always makes me laugh out loud, read your favourite book or draw/paint (even if you are not a pro, just express how you feel) or make some crafts. Actually there are a lot more I couldn't name it all. 

2. WRITE. If you want to let all your thoughts without being judged, just write it down. Write how you feel, what makes you overthink, what goes into your mind right now or anything you want to write. Even if it is a word or a phrase, write it. It helps me sometimes, I just write random things and then suddenly I felt better. It's like a magic actually. 

3. EAT/DRINK YOUR FAVES. I don't know but this actually works for me whenever I feel like I am thinking too much. I want to calm my mind, I just go and have my fave drink (coffee, milktea or sometimes tea)  or buy some food I badly want to eat (usually I prefer some sweets like chocolates or bread) it makes me feel good honestly, maybe because I am just hungry? But it's a good way to deal with that mind tho.

4.EXERCISE OR GO FOR A WALK. I just started working out lately and it actually changed my life. Not that I am not overthinking anymore but I am better at handling this mind now because it changed my lifestyle unlike before. I always get a clear and satisfied mind whenever I finished my workout sessions. It's a must try. Or if you don't really like working out, just go for a stroll even if it is around your house or your neighborhood. It can calm your mind.

5.PRAY. Yes, you saw it right. I know some of you might think this doesn't work but hey, it takes a good faith to make it work you know. Just trust in Him. Whenever I overthink and I feel like I want to breakdown, I really talk to him even in random situations. I just talk to him inside my head like, "Please Lord, help me get through this" that simple phrase is way to talk or pray to God. Because I have this feeling inside me that He will not make me feel all these things without any reason. That is why I tell all my worries to Him and then boom! My head and my heart is light like a feather. 

And of course, if you use too much social medias like me, just try to avoid contents or posts that might trigger your mind to overthink. Try to follow some creators who makes a good example or any influencers with good or positive approach. Watch videos or any posts that is inspiring or motivating your mind to do well. Avoid toxicity and drama, blocked those accounts that makes you feel uncomfortable or you know that could be toxic to your feed, your mental health is your priority so don't mind their opinion about it. 

You got this. Fighting!

YOU ARE WHAT YOU TOLERATE

I've had read it somewhere here online that you are what you tolerate and it's a hard pill to swallow but it's true . Because all of things that happen to our lives are entirely up to us. How we want to be treated, to be viewed, to be seen or to be perceived. There are many instances in life that applies to this phrase, like if you are constantly just being lazy about the things that you want in life it will not definitely come to you. If you tolerate disrespect, then you are likely to be disrespected. Imagine yourself in a relationship, there are many times that your partner had been showing a lot of red flags like hitting you or even cheating on you but you still stayed. In that situation, you are tolerating his behavior. You are allowing that person to constantly abuse and hurt you, not just physically but emotionally and mentally. Why? The answer is always because of that so called love. But let me ask you, do you love yourself enough to leave such relations...

Coping Up | Getting Your Sh*t Together Cause No One Will

I've been on one of the dark chapters of my life these past few months. It's so hard and really challenging because I often get a lot of mental breakdowns but thankfully I am still here and keep on fighting.  This blog is about coping up and getting yourself together when things gets hard. Because you can not expect other people to help or be there for you always not even your close family or best friend.  It's YOU. You only have yourself. It's a battle between you versus you. Especially when times are so messed up and you can't really explain how you feel because you know that they might not understand you or judge you. Well, not all but most of them that is why some people who suffers from mental health issues tends to keep it themselves because of the stigma. Even if they want some help, they just get along with it as if everything is normal until it's too late. Because not everyone have the same mindset, some might be weak on dealing with things ...

2 am thoughts : hyattenism

As I age, I came to realised that life is a continuous cycle of learning. When I say learning, I meant on how we perceive or act on the things and situations that is happening around us.  Learning how to be better than I was yesterday or last year, learning how to be patient with the things I want to achieve since not every thing I  want can be given in an instant especially my goals in life, learning how to be contented and happy with what I have because I don't know if it's gonna be there forever or not, learning how to live by everyday with positivity and hope. Because life is short . We don't know when or where our time will end, so might as well experience everything. Make mistakes and learn from it, fail and stand up, cry and laugh and do the weirdest shit you want because life is all about how we make it. It's like a book, make it thick with lot of memories. Doesn't matter what it is all about, just write. Live .
