Exercising or just going outside has proven to be a good way to distract myself from the overanalyzing everything - even if just for a short time. It all depends on how much what I'm thinking about will impact my future. The more important, the harder I can get my mind off it.

Love your advice, especially #7 as there is something about exercise that allows me to clear my mind and make a rational decision. <br /><br />For me what also works is writing things down. Sometimes if I list and then can look at the potential positives and negatives of with each possible solution, it adds clarity to what was a convoluted decision.<br /><br />Slamdunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087161268629251860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7576613755674415741.post-52528521662733504712014-05-15T17:08:14.563-04:002014-05-15T17:08:14.563-04:00I constantly overthink things especially when I...I constantly overthink things especially when I'm at work and doing the same task over and over again.
