You can’t actively not think about something by telling yourself not to think about it. However, this is what many people still try to do - they try to stop overthinking by telling themselves not to think about whatever they’re thinking about. So if suppression doesn’t work, what do we do? THE OPPOSITE! Acknowledge your thoughts. Offer them an outlet. And one of the most effective techniques is journaling. ✍️ Grab a notebook + pen, and journal responses to these prompts: 1️⃣ What’s on my mind? 2️⃣ What am I worried about? 3️⃣ Why am I worried about that? 4️⃣ Is this a realistic concern to have? What are other possible outcomes? 5️⃣ What can I do to increase my chances of a more positive outcome? 6️⃣ What action will I take?
