stop thinking so much

Having a girlfriend around (especially one that I’ve been with for a year now) has really helped to hault my interior monologue. To be clear, the objective of this goal is not to banish my inner voice altogether, but to quiet it when it’s not necessary. I used to worry about everything and look for a silver lining or an extra meaning in whatever people said, but now I’m a bit more relaxed.

I don’t want to get to a point where I just stop talking in my head, but it’s nice to have a clear head space every once in a while. It’s not so much that I’ve watered down my brain, but I’ve learned when it is or isn’t important to analyze things. Saves me a lot of headaches.

I think too much. Period. I think about situations, experiences, emotions, and people usually long before I ever get into them (situations), have them(experiences), feel them(emotions), or talk to them(people).

I like to plan out what’s a head of me regarding school, social life, conversations, and dreams/goals. This isn’t always a bad thing but I’ve come to find out that I do less experiencing the “now” because I’m too busy dealing with the “future”. And what exactly is this thing we call “the future”. It doesn’t necessarily exist because we techniquely can only live in the now, and we cannot techniquely live in the past.

Because of my over-thinking, sometimes I make myself feel a certain way about something/someone and this can be totally far off from how I really feel. This is not good.

Will my brain ever STOP and just live in the now? I need to find a balance between regarding the future as hypothetical and only ever being hypothetical, and how I am feeling exactly in these moments I’m living.

What causes my over thinking? Is this a mental defect? A bad habit? A cause for concern? It does tend to rule my life and my emotions, but just exactly how harmful is it?

stabilizing the foundational aspects of my life (finances, career, apartment) and giving up on others (romantic/relationship) has really helped me eliminate a lot of the noise in my head. it was a lot of work, and i had some help with the financial aspect, but once i got the foundation laid out i made sure to keep improving on everything. once i did that i stopped thinking so much.

I hate it…. Thinking of everything is going to come back… The headaches have returned… Oh well, nothing that I can do about it I guess…

I hate the migraines or whatever headaches they are, that accompany it…

So the first thing one must achieve to have control over their mind is well concentration. I never really thought about it, but that would have to be my biggest stick in the wheel. I can’t concentrate for shits. Not only does it make it nearly impossible to stop the overflow of escalading thoughts, doesn’t help with any goal you wish to achieve in life. Time just flys by without you noticing because you were lost in the abyss of the mind.

It makes me feel terrible. I need to get over it. I spend too much time alone and it conquers my life. I want to conquer my thoughts instead.

I over analyze everything and i am sick of it. From now on im going to try to stop thinking so dam* much!

i am constantly analzying what i just did or what the status of me and my ex boyfriend are, or remembering what happened. my mind is always swirling with thoughts. i want to calm down, stop making rash decisions and get my mind together.

There is a very fine line between organization and procrastination.
This is something I have to work on.
Spend less time thinking about it and more time doing it.

I can’t sleep i think think think.
