Is there a way i can avoid "overthinking"?

Be present. Sort of like the mindfulness suggestion above, but the key is to recognize where you are in the moment instead of dwelling in your head. Make observations without judgements - so look out your window and say to yourself "That is a tall tree. I like the green color, it's soothing." Not, "Gosh I'm bored. This exercise is pointless. I'm kind of hungry. I wonder if our ancestors ate trees? I really am hungry, I wish i could order out. If only i had more money. Oh geez i forgot that report, what am I going to do? I'm going to get fired" Etc. . .See the difference though? Positive and present, not negative and trying to divine the future. That is how you defeat the overthink in my experience.

You are trying to think of a solution. This is the same as the problem. You are just continuing to over think. Stop doing that.

Mindfulness meditation can be helpful.

And don't use your computer or talk to people who also over think too much

Don't think

Force one simple task like doing ur dishes

Overthinking? Do mean you have a problem and think you have a solution but then drive yourself batty trying to figure out if there's a better solution? Just go with what works. It makes life a lot easier. Problem solved. Next!

nah! probably not alcohol don't take her advise that's all i can advise you.
