Regret may be working in you about a past event. Therefore, it may seem that if I would have done that without doing this or that I would still be calculating with a previous decision, it can be considered as overthinking or extra worry (Anxiety).
As the saying goes, thoughtless action brings danger. So many people suffer from mental problems due to 'excessive thinking'. 'Overthinking' creates an imbalance between mind and body.
Experts say, anxiety is like a cycle. The more you try to get away, the more it will catch you. As the saying goes, 'A lazy mind is the devil's factory'. Almost everyone has to stay at home during the corona epidemic. And at that time thousands of anxiety are accumulating in the head.
According to a study conducted by the University of Michigan, about 73 percent of people between the ages of 25 and 35 do this. For 45- to 55-year-olds, that number drops to 52 percent. Interestingly, many of them think that they are doing themselves a favor by clinging to the past, but in fact the opposite is true.
What Causes Unnecessary Anxiety:
Unnecessary anxiety can start from anywhere. And its impact on daily life. As the mind and body of the person suffering from extra anxiety is always 'tensed', one should try to keep the body and mind relaxed. Exercise regularly or walk briskly for at least 40 minutes every day. You will find that your body and mind will feel much more relaxed or calm after a few days.
Degeneration of creativity:
Human creativity increases when certain parts of the brain are inactive. Overthinking causes rust in the brain, and creative thoughts gradually disappear. It is true that thinking about something with attention brings out new ways. But in most cases, excessive thinking or worry keeps you mentally locked down.
Stanford University researchers asked participants to draw a series of difficult-to-simple pictures while attached to an MRI machine. The more difficult the picture to draw, the more thinking participants had to do and the less creativity they drew.
Decreased workload:
Unnecessary anxiety affects one's daily activities first. At first anxiety is triggered in free time, but slowly it starts affecting busy time as well. It also affects work productivity.
Sleep loss:
Unnecessary worry has the biggest impact on sleep. Sleep requires a calm mind. And if anxiety attacks at that time, then sleep comes? Unnecessary worry has a major impact on night sleep.
Increased lethargy:
Anxiety increases at a compound rate once it begins. And it is not possible to focus on any work without finishing that thought. As a result, you may have thought that you will sit down to work after an hour, unnecessary anxiety will delay the work several times.
Loss of appetite:
Effects vary from person to person. Some stop eating due to anxiety, some become unrestrained. Eating makes you slightly inattentive, which is relaxing. And then people choose the most delicious but unhealthy food. Foods full of unhealthy ingredients such as processed fat, sugar, etc. may be known as 'comfort food' for this reason.
Ways out:
The first step to getting out of a problem is to identify the problem. Anxiety is a natural process, but learn to recognize when this anxiety is becoming unnecessary and excessive. Thinking about the same thing over and over again, questioning the same decision—these are signs of unnecessary anxiety.
Get rid of anger:
The habit of harboring anger in the mind will never bring good to the heart. Studies have shown that holding anger instead of forgiving increases stress and increases the risk of heart disease.
Find solutions to problems:
Find solutions without thinking about the same problems over and over again. Thinking about the problem never comes to a solution. Instead, it is easier to be free of worry if you think about what has happened, and think about the solution. Problems never bring peace of mind. So you have to find a way to get rid of the problem quickly.
Make time for yourself:
Unnecessary anxiety distracts everyone from their normal activities. It is not possible to focus on one's own work. That's why drop everything and go back to something old. hanging out with friends, watching movies, drawing or reading books; Pay attention to hobbies that you had many years ago or start anew. If you are busy with your favorite work, you will slowly regain the lost confidence in yourself.
Control your emotions:
Many times, unnecessary worry creates stress, which can lead to irritability or anger. Then he can get angry on someone innocent. So learn to control your emotions at this time. Otherwise, a little anger may be the cause of your anxiety at some other time.
Let the past be in the past:
Whenever you feel unnecessary thinking (Thinking) wandering in your mind, take a long breath and think, 'What happened happened for good.' It is not possible to change the past even if you want to, so there is no point in thinking about it. It is better for everyone to let the past stay in the past. Start working afresh with this thought, only then you can get out of this vicious cycle.
Remember, anxiety is a natural manifestation of human thinking. Worrying is not a bad thing, but it is your responsibility to keep it under control. Take care that you keep your anxiety under control, don't let anxiety control your life.
