Understanding Our Minds

Our minds are thinking machines, constantly jumping from thought to thought, constantly looking for something to overthink and obsess about. That’s what they do, it’s their job. A hand will do hand stuff and the mind will do thinking stuff.

What is the Most Effective Way to Stop Our Minds From Overthinking? 

But what happens when our minds get out of control? What happens when they no longer think the positive thoughts we wish they would? What happens when they only dwell on negative things, like what could go wrong in the future and what has gone wrong in the past?

When that happens, here is what you can do:

1) Start practicing mindfulness

2)  Become conscious and aware of your thoughts

3) Learn to focus your mind on what you want to focus on

4) Change unconscious negative thoughts into positive ones.
