Everyone loves to think and plan for the future. This is fine. However, sometimes an innocent hobby evolves into a chronic "illness" - into being cheated.
Whether you are immune to it or not can be easily tested. If you constantly act in accordance with your plan and do not get hung up on one thing, congratulations - you are healthy. And if on the contrary, they are sick.
Thinking activity never stops. There are a lot of reasons for winding up: from excitement to idleness. And so that the "disease" does not destroy you, you need to take control of your thinking activity. Four tools will help.
The first is purposeful distraction. The point is to switch the brain from obsessive focus to something else. Either a favorite thing or a little computer games will help.
The second is the transfer of thoughts "for later." The same as with the desire to go to the gym from January 1: put off the thought until January 1, and then just forget about it. But seriously, make a "contract" with unnecessary thoughts - think about them at a certain time: at 8 pm, for example. And think no more than 20 minutes.
The third is meditation. These are, in fact, the two points above in one. When you meditate, you "clear" the mind from excess breathing exercises. Due to the focus on inhaling and exhaling, obsessive thoughts fly out of the head and are replaced by something else.
The fourth is note-taking. The favorite tool of psychotherapists. Anything that makes you hover in the clouds for a long time and wind up, you can put on paper.
Work on excess thinking. Make sure that nothing stands in the way of your development: neither obsessive regrets from the past, nor attempts to predict the future.
