How to Stop Overthinking Everything: 9 Simple Habits

1. Put things into a wider perspective: Will this matter in 5 years?

2. Set short time-limits for decisions: 30 seconds for small, 30 minutes for big decisions. 

3. Become a person of action 

4. Realize that you cannot control everything: Trying to think things through 50 times can be a way to try to control everything. To cover every eventuality so you do not risk making a mistake, fail or looking like a fool.
But those things are a part of living a life where you truly stretch your comfort zone. Everyone who you may admire and have lived a life that inspires you has failed. They have made mistakes.
But in most cases they have also seen these things as valuable feedback to learn from. Those things that may look negative have taught them a lot and have been invaluable to help them to grow.
So stop trying to control everything. Trying to do so simply doesn’t work because no one can see all possible scenarios in advance.
This is of course easier said than done. So do it in small steps if you like.

5. Say stop in situation where you know you cannot think straight: No, no, we are not going to think about this now.

6. Do not get lost in vague fears: ask yourself: "honestly, what is the worst that could happen?"And when I have figured out what the worst that could happen actually is then I can also spend a little time to think about what I can do if that often pretty unlikely thing happens. I have found that the worst that could realistically happen is usually something that is not as scary as what my mind running wild with vague fear could produce.

7. Work out.
8. Spend more of your time in the present moment: Slow down. Disrupt and reconnect.
9. Spend more of your time with people who do not overthink things.
