Do you find it hard to switch off?

Do you spend hours going over past events or conversations  in your head?

Do you worry about future events?

If you answered yes to any of these questions the chances are that you are inclined to over think things. Over thinking can prevent you from relaxing and enjoying the present moment. Sometimes you need to let your mind relax and recover. Thinking about what you should have done or said,  is a wate of energy and will prevent you from relaxing or from simply feeling happy.

How to stop worrying

Some thing you can do to relax your mind:

• Think of all the time you waste worrying about stuff that hasn’t happened yet or things that have happened that you cannot change. Can you think of any benefit to yourself for having these thoughts?
• Learn some meditation techniques – you may think this is silly but just ty it, practice meditation when you find yourself obsessing about something.
• Imagine holding your troubles in you hand and then letting the wind take them, or putting them in a box and shutting the lid. If you put your troubles in draw in the morning, they’ll still be there when you go to bed!
• Think about your particular worry and ask yourself is it really true, if you have a tendency to over think you have probably imagined the problem to be bigger than it really is – put it back into perspective.
• Is there a small thing you can do that would make your problem easier – do it now or at least plan to do it in the near future.
