This person [1] discussing gping for a walk and breathing to combat overthinking. Also harnessing the Tim Ferris “how can this be if it were easy?”
What I also like, for a close relative to over thinking, over-emphasizing, over-valuing , the impact , of not a decision say but a upcoming event. The trick I find, is to discount its importance or better just pretend it has already happened. I know it is similzr to what Michael Phelps was known for doing, mentally viewing the tape literally linearly of a swim meet. I think focusing specifically at the end , and how good that feels, helps me to keep myself in that state even before it’s over.
But also we shouldn’t take ourselves so seriously. Our individual choices and actions have overall low impact on the grand scheme of what happens in our lives. I think the Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck guy would say something interesting here too. You are going to be okay. It’s going to be okay and may as well discount any one specific moment that is contributing to our anxiety.
Oh yea, also Masood Boomgaard — @masood_boomgaard on Instagram , says this well too. Cant find the link.
