Hi there,

I've been overthinking for years to the point of head aches and anxiety. Feels like you've been banging your head on a wall all day. I tend to put some music on that seems to make me focus. I wouldn't mind some more tricks on this

I can put thoughts into any kind of order lol,
Hmmmm

Don't think ahead. If your making tea...it's all you focus on. Do the same with the next task.

Works for me day to day. If I think too far ahead I fall to bits.

Leo is right, try to focus on NOW and every time your mind wanders to the future bring it back to whatever you are doing

lol so sounds like me... I know I over think things and at times can snap myself out of it... more often than not I run away with my thoughts but I see it as trying to prepare myself for every eventuality.... whats so wrong with that? I also never believe or worry about things until they happen or are happening... then my feelings are justified.
