Last few weeks I was facing major writer’s block. Why? Because I was stuffing my mind with useless thoughts. I used to go on a thinking spree at the drop of a hat. I continued the trip of incoherent thoughts till I realised that I was overthinking.
Why was I overthinking?
I started analysing. Sadly I realised that I was straying from my self-love path. The one I carved with much effort and pain. If you have been following my self-love series, you would know how I attained. So it was time to retrace the voyage, I realised. This is how I attained it.
Analysing the flag-off point
You should ask yourself what your trigger is. Is it someone who talks behind your back? Could it be someone who thinks lowly about you? Are there are a cult of people who conspire against you?
If yes is the answer, one final question. Do you care about them? If the answer is no, why do you care? If it is yes, go to talk to them. What are you breeding doubts?
Identifying the pitstops
Now that you have set out for the trip, you need to slow down and prepare to detour. Your pitstop should be when you decide and make yourself believe that, whoever it is doesn’t have the value to affect you.
How to attain it? The answer is there in my previous post identifying the trigger.
Way back to destination
Now you have cut off the concern about “What he/she is talking/thinking about me.” You have been stuffing your brain for a while with these thoughts. But now there is a void left. What next? It’s time to look around and bring some positivity.
Go and hug the one whom you love the most. It can be you kids, parents, spouses, lovers, friends or anyone for that matter. Spend a day virtually or in person.
Fill the void with love, happiness and peace.
Your destination
It is a false notion that detaching yourself from everything to attain ultimate happiness. It is a faux. No one, at least no one with a family, would be happy by detachment. Attachment with self acualisation is the key. You should accept yourself as you are. Additionally, accept others as they are. If someone is condescending, to you let them be. That’s their nature and that has nothing to do about your they are expressing their grief or insecurities in a certain way.
What you have to do about it?
Nothing! Be yourself, love yourself, and be in your happy zone. Attain it without hurting anyone or being hurt yourself. I have already mentioned in my previous posts. Identify you trigger stay away, find your passion and embrace it. Accept yourself and others as is and don’t get affected.
Most importantly, know your worth and nurture yourself. Becuae there is nothing in the universe that can prevent you from loving yourself. As I always say, if you cant love the sould that is with you for so many years, who else can. But, make srue you do so without hurting anyone, without being selfish. Not hurting someone doesn’t mean that you should condone victim plays. Identify the pretence. I will talk about it in the next post.
So motivating your articles are… Very true the most important is to start loving yourself.
Self doubt, over thinking and being over judgmental towards ourselves is a big restriction in self-growth. Been happy inside out is very important. Sometimes, we overthink and lose the charm of the entire incident or step that we are supposed to take.

My mom has this problem of over thinking because of that sometimes she couldn’t sleep in the night also 🙈 going to share this with her 😊
My mom is facing this too .. thanks for penned down and m going to share with her 🙏
I agree overthinking lead to us in a continuous process of getting many unwanted thoughts and sometimes with this process we feel disturbed too. Self love should be a priority for everyone with this hectic lifestyle. This is something that give us enough fuel to complete other routine responsibilities.
this is such a positive post. Overthinking can lead us to delay in a lot of things. But i do over think sometimes and read up a lot about it – specially about health care, childcare etc.
I’m new on your blog and I found this article really helpful,there is so much positivity within this, thanks for this motivation.
Impressive blog…and need of today’s life…keep writing
So heartfelt! Could relate to every word. Happens to all of us buddy, with great effort I have learnt to keep away from negative souls
Self love is very important. We often spend so much time overthinking about things that won’t even happen. Great article.
Oh I need to send this to so many people. Some are sweet but due to their overthinking they just trouble their own selves.
Sometimes, we overthink and lose the charm of the entire incident . This happens with all of us at some stage . Your post is really helpful.
That’s really a important one to discuss..I think, we all come across this situation many times.. thanks for your open discussion on this.
It is very important for a person to put a mark in the thinking process. And I will agree with your pointers, over thinking can make us dull and regressive in thoughts.
Self love is the key to happiness. We get lost in thinking, what others think about us and then try to live by their expectations. Its as bad as it gets. We need to step out of this vicious cycle and learn to listen to our inner self
Immensely loved reading the article. Will apply these tips in my life soon ❤️
Excellent post! It is so relatable and I guess we all go through such phases when we get caught up with overthinking. I loved the way you have explained it and I am sure this will be helpful for so many to come out of this phase.

Over thinking can do no good to anyone. It will just disturb you mentally and lead no where. So it’s better to either 1. Talk It out or 2. Ignore if that person doesnt matter. Nicely written.
