OVER THINKING-ANXIETY'S FRIEND

The mind is a wonderful thing. Or a curse! Thinking can bring lots of good ideas. But over thinking any situation can bring angst and well anxiety. Having plans and backup plans are always good. But thinking the worst is not good. Worrying becomes over thinking's best friend. Worrying can be debilitating. It can lead to panic attacks in some who have severe anxiety. A little anxiety is normal. However, not doing and just stalling is not good either. Life's changes often bring lots of over thinking. What if this? What if that? When? Why? Activities like health changes, retirement, separation, pending death, selling a house- well you get the picture. What if lots of these things are happening at the same time! It can be very overwhelming! Where to start? How to do everything one piece at a time.! And try to get help- free or paid. Take the thoughts out of the head into the hands. One activity at a time. It's like packing a house for a move. Start with one drawer, one closet. The thoughts are your drawers so tackle one thought! What to do with it before rushing to the next one! Over thinking can be just over whelming!! Yes remember to breath!!
