She loves me. She loves me not. I'm not good enough. What's the use. Why does everything happen to me? These are the words of the chronic over-thinker-or more specifically, these are the words of the voices in their head. Who put those voices there? And how do we get rid of them?
They are the collective result of all our anxieties and insecurities. The voices seem to manifest on their own accord, without our input. But no, you aren't crazy. You just have a mild case of over-thinking disease. Like any other affliction, there is a cure!
It will only require a careful examination of your habits. A small price to pay for the pervasive haunting of your mind.Though powerful they may be, our brains aren't perfect. A brain isn't some supercomputer that can perform calculations with pure logic.
A human brain makes mistakes. It obsesses, worries, and overthinks.
It creates scenarios and phobias that aren't even real. In a way, we owe this complexity to the fact that our brains are wondrous things.
Negative thoughts are like a demon whispering sweet nothings in your ear. Except the nothings aren't so sweet. And the whispers sound like yells. Or at least very loud talking.
So loud, in fact, that you can't hear any of the positive things your mind is trying to tell you.
Like the fact that most anxieties are just irrational fears.
Or that our obsessions are short-term fixations of the mind.
Our brains are susceptible to mental sickness, defects, and personality disorders. But this book isn't about any of those things. Instead, the target is something a little subtler. Something that runs deep in our modern society, but that isn't talked about.
Overthinking is reaching epidemic levels in our society. Technology is partly to blame but also the attitudes that we have. Social media stokes the flames of the fire by creating a digital hellscape of insecurities. Then on the news, everything seems to be going downhill. If people could just slow down for a minute, that'd be great.
This book teaches how to disregard everything and just live in the moment.
Forget about your phone, about what's happening in politics, and about what others are saying. All of these things are just noise! End that nagging voice in the back of your head by tuning your awareness outwards. Not towards anything in particular but towards life and stillness.
This is the beginning of how to cultivate MINDFULNESS. It's single-handedly the best thing you can do to control your racing thoughts. Your brain will thank you for it.
