In this era everyone is busy on their own. Everyone worries at least once about school grades, financial matters, relationship troubles with friends or family members. However, if you are getting lost in your thoughts often, it may signify you have overthinking.
It refers to deep thinking or negative thoughts that used to come to mind and feel anxious about it. Overthinking is likely to be harmful and does not meet its intended goals. It can be energy draining and can interfere with the lives of people.
Causes of Overthinking
Stress : Stress is the body’s reaction to harmful situations whether they’re real or perceived. During the stress your body reacts as an abnormal.
Idleness : A person who is physically and mentally idle or inactive can be termed as idleness.
Low self esteem :Low self-esteem is characterized by a lack of confidence and feeling badly about oneself. People with low self-esteem often feel unlovable, awkward, or incompetent.
Fear of failure : The fear of failure, which is sometimes referred to as atychiphobia is an irrational and persistent fear of failing. Sometimes this fear emerges in response to overthinking.
How to Overcome from Overthinking ??

This looks different for everyone, but ideas include:
- Listen to music.
