How to Not Compulsivley Overthink Things

Stop fixating if you see these signs (i.e. notice your limits):


Information:
You can’t see your own ignorance because you are blinded by your feelings, or you havetoo little evidence to make an informed judgement.

Understanding:
You haven’t defined both an aim and an end to your thinking, a question and a stopping-point.

Willpower:
You complain to yourself, or accuse yourself, about reality and what you could have done. You want to act but feel blocked.

Quit tormenting yourself on a path with no closure. Don’t be afriad to admit your limitations. Pause the battle until you can return with reinforcements.

Regain your strength:

Emotionally Stabalize eat, rest, pray, hope

Share the burden by seeking outside help (advice, listening service).

Resolve on a provisional plan for what you still can do.
