3 Strategies To Stop Overthinking

1. Break free! When you find yourself overthinking, shake it off. Do whatever you can to redirect your attention and distract yourself.

How can you think about it in a different way that makes you feel like you are making progress toward your goal? Whenever you find yourself obsessing, keep bringing yourself back to your good-feeling thoughts.

As I thought back on the weekend, I wondered why I had eaten so little. I had few urges to eat and rarely even thought about food.
