HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING IN A RELATIONSHIP

Want to learn how to stop overthinking in a relationship? I’m going to share with you some of the ways to change this stress-inducing behavior and to ultimately feel better about your relationships and about yourself.

WHY WE OVERTHINK

“When someone is ‘overthinking,’ they are surveying and assessing if they are relationally “safe.” Their mind usually rehearses regrets from the past or forecasts worst-case scenarios for the future.”

HOW OVERTHINKING HURTS RELATIONSHIPS

DEVELOP AWARENESS OF THE THOUGHTS Start by acknowledging that the thought has value and exists for a reason by saying internally or out loud: “I’m thinking this way for a reason and it is OK to be [hurt, angry, upset, overwhelmed].”

9 TIPS TO STOP OVERTHINKING IN RELATIONSHIPS

When you’re in a relationship with a good person, you have to learn to accept that he probably says what he means and that his actions speak truth.

TAKE THINGS AT FACE VALUE/ FOCUS ON FACTS

LEARN TO SELF-SOOTHE
