During this period, unrest and the influence of uncontrolled thoughts have become common. Our mind becomes unstable again and again and the main reason for this instability is the uncontrolled flow of our thoughts. To calm these thoughts and keep the mind stable, some people usually try to keep themselves very busy. This process is sometimes effective but it also has positive and negative aspects. When the mind is occupied with some problem, desire or sorrow, it thinks about it again and again. This can be called ‘overthinking’.
This situation not only increases mental stress but also has a negative impact on a person’s creativity and decision-making ability. In such a situation, a person tries to control his thoughts by keeping himself busy. Mahatma Gandhi said, “Your thoughts become your words, your words become your actions and your actions become your future.”
So keep your thoughts pure and calm.” It takes us away from our negative thoughts and invests our time and energy in positive activities.
However, it is also important to avoid a state of excessive busyness. If we ignore our emotions by simply being immersed in work, it does not lead to a permanent solution to the problem. Actually, it is very important to face the thoughts and understand the reasons behind them. Keeping yourself busy is a practical way to avoid overthinking, but it is only effective when applied in a balanced manner. Gautam Buddha has said that one who controls his thoughts wins in every area of life. Mind is everything, you become what you think.
