Overthinking Anxiety Disorder

In our lives, we seldom meet people who have lost all hopes and have convinced themselves to be defeated ones. They have accepted their assumptions of being unable to achieve success and found themselves unworthy of doing any productivity in the world. Why talk about others, it is even valid for us as well when in our lowest phases of life we tend to experience such thoughts gripping our minds.
In the worst cases, we even feel "unwanted" by others too.

In such cases, one must remember one thing that there is nothing in this world which is 'unworthy' or 'unwanted'.

There is no single herb which is not used for making medicines; even a poison can be an antidote to another poison; similarly, every living or non-living creation of God is essential to run and maintain the nature's cycle.

Everyone has his own uniqueness and his own talents but what conceals one's optimism and hopefulness is what we termed as OVERTHINKING ANXIETY DISORDER.
It not only fills our mind with negativity but also paralyses our creativity & will to be able to escape our not so good times.

Overthinking is not the nature of a person, but a constant action of one's mind which eventually becomes the habit and ultimately the part of one's personality.
We all know overthinking not only disturbs our mental well being but also physical health. It hampers the body's physiological mechanism and results in a compromised immune system if it has become one's personality. As a matter of fact, overthinking is 99.9% of the negative aspects of the things, hence, it makes havoc in one's mental, physical, and social well being.

It somewhat becomes a vicious cycle and a person keeps on getting entrapped into it.
So, according to me, below are certain points that can help in lessening the impact of OVERTHINKING ANXIETY DISORDER.

• KNOW ITS ROOT CAUSE: Reach out to the cause of the thing bothering you to overthink and calmly analyse whether is it really worth to over ponder about it or not.

• COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY: Either self analyse the matter or share it with close ones in order to reduce the anxiety. Have positive people around who listen to you empathetically.

• LEARN TO 'UNCAGE' THINGS: If things are not under your control, then leave it. Yes, just leave it and move on as things would eventually fall in the place where they meant to be.

• DON'T LET YOUR PERSONALITY STINK: As when flowing water happens to get stagnant due to an obstruction, it stinks. Similarly, overthinking obstructs your positivity and you start breeding pessimism and cynicism which eventually get reflected in your personality.

• THE 3 C'S OF HAPPY RELATIONSHIP: In relationships particularly, start CONFRONTING, CONFESSING, AND COMPROMISING (on small things), so as to blossom it rather than keeping it to yourself and overthinking to wither it away.

• BE A LITTLE LESS CONTROLLING: Over controlling often leads to overthinking as when things don't go according to us we tend to overthink and suffer from overthinking anxiety disorder. Start enjoying the natural course of things.

• USE OTHER COLORS OF THE RAINBOW: Deviate to other things that please and motivate you. Just try to branch off to different traits of your personality so as to give your overthinking a bit rest. 

As I draw to a close, would just want to say that no such article, no video, and no lecture for that matter can make you stop overthinking but YOU AND YOURSELF. We all have that potential and courage to face the respective atrocities of our lives and we have done it gracefully so far and would do it as well if needed in the future but as of now let us cherish our present and stop being a sufferer of this OVERTHINKING ANXIETY DISORDER.

GOOD LUCK GUYS!!

Let's Make A Choice...........

Whenever we have to make a choice, irrespective of its nature, very often we do so in accordance with our priorities. In short, our priorities in life lead us to make a choice about anything.
And the other way round is when we don't have a choice to make a choice.
So let us talk about the former one i.e. making choices based on our priorities.

In every stratum of society, everyone pushes oneself to raise his standard of living in order to attain a life full of content. But while doing so, how many of us have seriously thought about raising the standard of our lives??

Yes, I am talking about raising the standard of our lives over the standard of living and henceforth, making a choice out of the two.

Our choices not only reflect our priorities but also our personalities as these are set up subconsciously in our minds by the environment we have been into throughout our lives and also by the impact of the influences by other people around us.

One must work hard and smart to raise his standard of living so as to reach his full potential and even beyond. To break the limitations and nurture the life he desired for. But what about the standard of life ( quality of life )?
A raised standard of living may not necessarily correlate with a raised standard of life.

Well, who doesn't need wealth, fame, and a life full of luxuries but working endless hours without having personal and social lives, is something indicating a lower standard of life despite having a raised standard of living.

Having a huge bank balance, assets, and luxurious life may not be directly proportional to the happiness index or the quality of life parameters. However, it does fetch you the security and a type of living standard you wished for.

So in order to raise the standard of our lives, one must:

• LOVE YOURSELF: You should love yourself and try to feel comfortable in your own skin. However, if something is stopping you to do so then step up your game and raise your standards to attain that being which is then liked and loved by you. Eat well, exercise well, sleep well, and enjoy 'BEING YOU'.

• RAISE YOUR 'SQ': Elevate your level of the SOCIAL QUOTIENT (SQ). Hang out with a good company of friends and colleagues. Have an active social life. Be in a company of friends having a good standard of ethics even if they don't have a good standard of living.

• HAVE A POSITIVE HALO: Surround yourself with positivity and good standard people who push you upwards to achieve success and not with the one who has a motive of dragging you down. Shun out the doors of negativity as much as possible.

• HAVE A TRUE-BLUE PERSONAL LIFE: Have an awesome rock solid personal life to cherish and who constantly have your back in your thick and thin. It surely instils a sense of security and happiness in one's life.

• HAVE A SANGUINE ATTITUDE: Always keep your standards high and an optimist approach. Being a positive perspective of things always helps you to deal also with the situations once perceived difficult. 

Raising the standard of living has always been at the top of our priority list for the majority of us, but I feel, it should be along with the Raised Standard of Life. It is a fine amalgamation of these, that renders us A TRUE ESSENCE OF LIFE.

So let's make a choice of life that is a blend of both..............
