Most people, at some point in life, have found themselves engaging in too much thinking about a particular thing or situation. Overthinking is reviewing experiences, replaying them repeatedly, and, more often than not, dwelling on thoughts and things that have happened or are about to happen. Overthinking is irritating to the mind and can result in serious consequences to an individual's life.

Incessant worrying is overthinking about what could happen. When overthinking starts to affect the mental and emotional part of an individual, then he or she needs to consider getting professional assistance.

Dwelling on thoughts that are not going away will generally affect the well-being of an individual, his or her normal functioning in life, and result in the development of several illnesses. Mental illnesses such as anxiety disorders, panic disorders, trauma, phobias, and bipolar disorders, among others, can cause one to have no control over the rushing thoughts in their minds. Some experiences in life can also lead to overthinking.

Factors That Influence Overthinking

• Regrets

Regretting a word or wrong action leads to such an individual replaying the scenario repeatedly. The victim can overthink about diverse outcomes of such a scenario. When people make mistakes, it is obvious that they feel bad about them, but it is equally important to know that no one can change the past. So knowing how to shake off the past is important in ensuring that one remains with a sound mind even after a mistake.

• Pressure for performance probably at work

Everyone wants to leave an excellent impression. However, working towards that excellence has nothing to do with a collection of overloaded thoughts. The anxiety of whether one will measure up to the quality standard will only create an unhealthy mind that will be incapable of working towards excellence. When there is the desire to perform, a relaxed mind is the best platform that can absorb new methods, techniques, and information to adapt to for excellence.

• The fear of the unknown

Some people are just too creative and can imagine non-existing disasters. The fear that something bad might happen can only be fought through conquering such thoughts with other positive thoughts. Fear can affect the thinking of a victim and place them in a difficult situation of overthinking. When such victims detect such thoughts as they set in they should discard them to help to save their mind from overthinking.

• Obsessive thoughts

Whatever the subject of the thoughts, obsessive thinking can lead to overthinking. This can subsequently lead to an unhealthy state of mind. Obsessive thinking can be because of waiting for an interview, a date or a performance. A victim can be caught up in too much thinking about what to say, do or how things will turn out.
