# Think a lot

🌱 1. Know yourself first.

• Every time you know you're thinking around, "Stop" and ask yourself,

"What do I think now helps?"

• If the answer is "no help" or "out of control," tell yourself, "That's enough. That's enough."

• Just knowing your thoughts is starting to "get out of the loop."

💡 2. Distinguish what is "controllable" versus "uncontrollable."

• Controlled matters → Actions such as behavioral adjustments, talks, corrections

• Uncontrollable matters → letting go, such as other people's thoughts, the past, some results.

Try to say in your heart that

"It's not in my hands. Let me put it down."

🕰 3. Set "Time to think a lot."

• Define periods such as "15 minutes of thinking allowed in the evening."

• If thoughts come during the day, tell yourself:

"Think about the evening."

• This helps train the brain not to think too much.

✍️ 4. Write your thoughts out.

• Write down the worrying things on paper to help the brain "release" the thoughts from the head.

• Then write a short answer: "What can I do about this?"

• If there is no answer, it should be placed.

🧘‍♀️ 5. Practice with "now."

• Concentrate activities such as walking, washing dishes, planting trees, listening to music

• Every time you think about it, pull it back to "what you're doing."

💬 6. Speak to yourself to be gentle.

• People who think a lot often blame themselves well.

Let's change from "Why am I like this?"

"It's okay. We're trying."

🌤 7. If difficult to do by yourself

• Talk to someone who understands, such as a listening friend or a mentor / psychologist.

Being drained makes looping ideas "unlocked" much easier.
