What is Thinking? Overthinking?
We are all thinking as humans. We are, therefore, thinking. But when does thinking cease to be productive? What is the definition of overthinking? Heidi It is possible to break down different types of overthinking, and you might find that you do it more often then you think.
✮ Worrying: This is the type of overthinking we’re probably the most familiar, and it’s usually phrased as “what if.” Worry does not depend on reality, probability, or facts. It’s based on fear and typically takes a scenario and focuses on a terrible outcome. Example: Instead of worrying, “what if my project goes gangbusters successful,” you worry, “what if my project falls flat and the company pulls the funding”?
✮ Rumination: This type of overthinking is a type of repetitive thought you can’t seem to shake off. There are two types of ruminations. (1) Depressive rumination—engaging in negative, repetitive self-focus. One example is that you dress more casually at dinner parties than your coworkers and then spend hours internal criticizing yourself. This leads to distorted thinking about oneself. It is easy to fall into a vicious circle of depressive rumination. (2) Angry rumination—which typically takes the form of blame. Example: You replay a previous argument over and over again in your head. This can lead to anger and even adding more evidence to your argument. This can lead to anger, resentment and distortions of the words of others.
✮ Cognitive distortions Overthinking can lead to errors in thinking and excessive or unneeded emotional reactions. Cognitive distortions can manifest as habitual ways or overthinking and they hinder your ability to see the situation objectively. You might find a friend at a party who is not talking to you very often. The friend may think you are crazy or uninteresting. In reality, there is no truth value in those thoughts—You can’t read their mind or know their situation.

Do you find any of these situations familiar? If they do, it’s because as a species, overthinking is baked into our brains. Overthinking Fear is the first survival mechanism. It teaches us how to avoid danger situations by using reinforcement. Fear has been made possible by evolution.-Learning is automatic and based on experience. Our brains adapt to help us to survive and to analyse what might have happened if we had not. hadn’t What happened next? How to prevent it from happening again. This feeling is known as anxiety.
You’ll find the science behind these mental habits to be both fascinating and reassuring—no, you’re not alone in thinking the way you do, and no, your brain is not broken, it’s working exactly as human brains were trained to do centuries ago. But more important than the history and science behind overthinking are the solutions that you’ll want to know.
Habits: Simple to Create, But Hard to Break
One of the foundations of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is retraining your brain to break bad habits—whether they are overeating or overthinking. Starting with the first lesson, Heidi You have engaged in mindful activities that draw your attention away from your mind to other areas of your body.
Examining both theory and practice, she’ll walk you through a variety of techniques, including seated exercises and yoga practices that allow you to occupy your physical self, while also talking you through ways to focus your mind to occupy your mental self.
Some of these experiences Heidi We will show you how to include:
Short seated and standing exercises (2–3 minutes each) that can be easily incorporated into your life at any time,
Yoga positions that are both basic and accessible
Reciting mettā phrases,
Visualization exercises
Practice gratitude
She’ll offer you a toolbox of strategies that can be used before, during, or after being bombarded by your thoughts. As you become more comfortable with each of these tools, you’ll feel more confident that you can make a quality choice about which tool to use in any given moment to help yourself end overthinking.
As Heidi notes, change is not a linear process—It’s more like a very wavy line that gradually increases in small amounts over time. You’ll need to give it time and practice, but with the new tools and information that she provides, you’ll be on your way to lessening the burden of overthinking.
