Do you overthink?
<span class="html-content"> <p>I discovered one very simple technique to help with overthinking, that encourages you to focus on&nbsp; what's within your control to regain some degree of rationality.</p> <p>I call it the ' I WILL....' List</p> <p>Simply, when you notice yourself starting to overthink about some future event, grab a pen and paper , and write all the things that you WILL do in response to the situation.</p> <p>Here's a set of simple steps :</p> <ol> <li>Start by getting all your thoughts out of your head and onto paper - do a 'brain dump' of whatever is on your mind- concerns, worries, anxieties .</li> <li>From there, review what you write and categorize things into what you DO &amp; DON'T have control over.</li> <li>For everything you DO have control over , write your ' I WILL....' list. What are all the things you will take action on? Start small and build up.</li> </ol> <p>It can be a useful technique to calm your mind and feel a greater degree of control over the situation especially when you're feeling overwhelmed.</p> <p> Importantly too , tick off each item as you complete them &amp; celebrate the small wins for that wonderful dopamine hit.</p> <p>Let me know how you go!</p> </span>
