This is going to be something different from my previous blogs. I went through overthinking during the pandemic time, and now everything is going well so far, but I decided to write something about it, so that's why I'm writing this blog.

I research about <b>Over thinking </b> and found these 8 tips that I can give you that put overthinking in overthinking.

Let's do it.

##1. The Problem is rarely the problem.

   <ul>
      <li>
        99% of the harm is caused in your head, By <b>you </b>and
        <b>your thoughts</b>.
      </li>
      <li>
        1% of the harm is caused by reality, what <b>actually happens</b> and
        <b>the outcome</b>.
      </li>
      <li>
        Most of the time, the problem isn't the problem.
        <b>The way you think</b> about the problem is.
      </li>
    </ul>

##2. Avoid self-rejection.
<ul>
   <li>
      Don't think you deserve that opportunity? <b>Apply for it anyways</b>.
   </li>
   <li>
      Don't think your article is good enough? <b>Publish it anyways</b>.
   </li>
   <li>Don't think they'll reply to your email? <b>Send it anyways</b>.</li>
   <li>Never overthink yourself into self-rejection.</li>
</ul>

##3. An important question.
<ul>
   <li>
      When you start criticizing yourself for <b> past mistakes</b>, or
      <b>seeing disaster</b> around every corner, ask yourself: "Is there
      anything I can do right now to change the past or to
      <b>positively influence</b> the future."
   </li>
   <li>
      If the answer is <b>yes</b>, do it - take action. If the answer is
      <b>no</b>, be at peace let it go.
   </li>
   <li>
      You have to take action or let it go, everything else is
      <b>self-harm</b>.
   </li>
</ul>

##4. Silence and time.

<ul>
   <li>The truth is, most problems aren't <b>solved</b>
      with more thinking, they're solved with less.
   </li>
   <li>You'll find most of the answers you're looking
      for in silence, in timeband with a <b>clear mind</b>.
   </li>
   <li>If you can't <b>solve a problem</b>, stop trying to.</li>
</ul>

##5. Acceptance is peace.

No amount of anxiety will change your
future, no <b>amount of regret</b> will change your
past.
<b>Peace</b> is found in acceptance:
<ul>
   <li>Accept imperfection.   </li>
   <li>Accept uncertainty.   </li>
   <li>Accept the uncontrollable.</li>
</ul>
You don't have to understand, tolerate or
even forget something, but if you want peace,
you must <b>accept it</b>.

##6. The power of now.

<ul>
   <li>You're not going to overthink your way to a <b>better future</b>.
   </li>
   <li>You're not going to overthink your way to a <b>better past</b>.
   </li>
   <li>All you have is <b>NOW</b>. And what you do with NOW can make right of your past and make good of your future.</li>
   <li>Make peace with yesterday, let go of tomorrow, <b>grab hold</b> of now.</li>
</ul>

***

##7. Fact checks your own thoughts.

<ul>
   <li>Your thoughts will create scenarios in
      your mind that reflects your <b>insecurities</b>, <b>fears</b> and <b>worries</b>.
   </li>
   <li>So it's important to always fact-check your own thoughts before accepting them, because in highly <b>emotional situations</b>, your thoughts will tell you stories that aren't true.
   </li>
   <li><b>Fact check yourself</b>.</li>
</ul>

##8. Health starts in your mind.

<ul>
   <li>You can go to the gym, eat healthily, do yoga, drink water, and take vitamins, but if you don't directly confront the negativity in your thoughts, you will never truly be <b>'healthy'</b>.
   </li>
   <li>Our health <b>isn't measured</b> on scales, by the size of our muscles, or by the width of our waist.
   </li>
   <li>True health is measured by the <b>quality of our thoughts</b> and the <b>peacefulness of our minds</b>. Health starts in your mind.</li>
</ul>
