Overthinking is when you dwell or worry about the same thought repeatedly.
People who overthink can be paralyzed by their worries and may struggle to make decisions or take action.
Overthinking can be caused by — and can contribute to — depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders.

Mindfulness is one proven tool that is incredibly effective in helping people to choose their thoughts and stop overthinking. Mindfulness is actually a way of connecting with your life, and it's something that doesn't involve a lot of energy. It can help us to come back in touch with who we really are.
