Do you want to get rid of overthinking? Do you want to declutter your mind and overcome negativity and spiral of toxic thoughts ? Are you ready to create atomic habits to stop worrying, manage stress, anxiety, and depression, and have positive thinking that focuses on the present? If yes, then read on... Overthinking, as the name suggests, is thinking too much and for too long about an anxiety-provoking event, usually, but not always, a negative experience of some kind (e.g., a past mistake, a current worry, or a future outcome). Do you have difficulty shutting off your racing mind? Are you indecisive and confused about a decision to make? Do you feel fatigued and upset because of your thoughts? If so, you are likely an acute overthinker. Today, overthinking is an international epidemic, since we live in difficult and demanding times that require so much mental capacity from us to function and succeed in. Adult responsibilities, money, mental trauma, and other problems leave our minds active 24/7. Everyone automatically overthinks from time to time due to the hectic and demanding nature of modern life (e.g., Mortgage, career expectations, children, finances, etc.). The next question is how to assess and solve the unconscious problem of overthinking. Firstly, it's important to understand what causes overthinking. Beyond mental issues such as depression and anxiety, other contributing factors include experiencing childhood abuse, neglect, a traumatic event, being a perfectionist, having a genetic predisposition, and introversion. Using the following checklist, you can determine if you meet the threshold for overthinking or the need for perfectionism, insomnia, burnout, requiring others' feedback on unimportant matters, irritability, occasional hypochondriasis, consistent sadness/negative thinking, and a believed lack of control over parts of life.

After a traumatic accident threatens the foundations of their happy marriage, a couple tries to rebuild and find their way back to each other—and themselves—in this tender, slow-burn romance. Roz and Vin can’t look each other in the eyes anymore, let alone share a bed. It’s been a year since they survived a life-altering accident, and their marriage hasn’t been the same. But Roz has held out hope that they can fix things, until she discovers Vin has signed a new lease. So she does what any soon-to-be-divorced Manhattanite would do: sign up for a figure-drawing class. Between Roz’s determined attempts to improve her artistic skills and her adventures with her best friend, Raffi, she can almost ignore Vin’s impending move-out date and his footsteps in their previously unoccupied guest room. But it would all be a lot easier if Vin wasn’t Raffi’s older brother, and if she didn’t still find him incredibly, debilitatingly attractive and kind. So kind, in fact, that Vin offers to let Roz draw him. What is she supposed to say? It’s probably better than her original plan of finding some random male model online, and she needs all the practice she can get. Plus, that’s sure to make a separation easier, right? Focus on every detail of your estranged spouse’s body while drawing him in the nude? But after the year they’ve spent avoiding each other, it feels good to see and be seen by one another again. As Roz works to capture the wholeness of the person she fell in love with, will they both be able to draw upon the feelings they buried deep inside to finally heal together?
