"Don't think too much"

I know for myself I overthink a lot of times. I cant see how one can just turn it off and not think about it.

when i find i have too many thoughts or problems clouding my head, i just try to write things down. that way, i can try to prune the important and unimportant ones and think of solving the important ones first.

It's hard to control your thoughts I don't know any way how to. I don't even try to control my thoughts but I can keep my hands to myself.

Thinking too much to a doing before we do is not good. It will increase our stress and keep us confused but we have to make sure that we should think about the side effects of the things we do. This is how we should take decisions in our life.

I also have a number of friends who over think things. Sometimes even I'm guilty of it. Usually I only over think things though when I'm worried about something important. My two friends drive me nuts though with it. Especially the one who is my ex bf. On occasion he'll message me on Facebook. I'll message him back with an innocent greeting then he'll respond with "I don't know what I did to deserve that" and I'll be like O_o lol. I realize especially with typed messages its easy sometimes to take something the wrong way but he is beyond all normal limits. He'll come up with things that are so out of left field it isn't even funny. It frustrates me a lot sometimes because its been known to start one sided arguments lol. As far as I'm concerned people who over analyze things that much are sucking the fun out of life. Sometimes it's good to think about things carefully but those over thinkers start to talk themselves into all kinda of craziness.

Are you honestly telling people not to think too much? If we didn't think we would never question, If we never questioned, we would always be controlled. I suspect that you are confusing Thinking with worrying. Thinking is what makes us differ from animals - we think to solve problems, we think to make the world a better place. The day I stop thinking is the day I die

As with everything else, too much of anything isn't good, and this includes thinking. We'll get stressed up and so it'll affect our health. Some people like myself address this by meditating or praying to clear their minds of too much thoughts, especially those unwanted ones. There are other alternatives but for me this one works best.

Yes...because if we keep on thinking on certain problems, especially, we will be having headaches which might causes us to feel dizzy...and I think if not controlled, might lead to greater problems.

I think, much thinking is good thing. Because you can judge own daily behaviors to your friends. If you can think before do anything, you will do the truths.

We sometimes could not control ourselves from thinking too much especially if we are bothered with some issues. Years back, when I was at my lowest, I had a lot of sleepless nights. Of course, those nights were filled with lots of thoughts about a lot of things. It took months before i got over it. No one helped me over come it but myself. I was afraid of having a nervous breakdown and so glad I was able to get back on my feet and have lessened the "thinking" during the night.

for sure it will guide us to grow beards and grey hair and the stress creeps in,well said

Had we not think twice , we have to face problems in certain situations. So, we cannot say that thinking too much is not good

Hi friend, you are right, thinking a lot will make us to be crazy, we must avoid unwanted thinking and do the needful. We must organize our thoughts and give priority to important things and avoid thinking about a thing and end up with another one, it is not worth for our time

yeah it is good not to think much. some people i have also seen that they think unnecessary things and mostly all negative things and then it leads to different sicknesses. too much thinking is bad for health. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day ahead.

Thinking too much creates some troubles or porblems. Here when we say thinking too much means overthinking is no good at all. You have well narrated the disadvantages of thinking too much. There are quite a lot of unnecessary problems due to overthinking. If we could think in a proper way, it would not create so many problems to us. Thanks for sharing us the nice discussion, prashu.

It is not posible to control thoughts. One has to keep thinking and be aware of the thoughts, without judging any thought as right or wrong or good and bad. Just keep on with the flow and at the same time, be aware of the breath and the noises and environment around you.

I write research papers in my field of specialization, examine PhD THESIS ETC, naturally i have to think a lot; one should not keep mind vacant, an idle mind is said to be a devils workshop ; well may i know, if you do some job?

Too much thinking is not good. At the same time lack of thinking is not good. We have a class of people who worry about the unknown future too much when it is not required. In terms of friends relationship too much expectations also cause lot of disappointment and too much thinking. Some people think too much and create further problems for others also. One can control thoughts by taking up some other work that is interesting--like mylotting, watching movies, writing stories, reading books etc

Thanks a ton for sharing this discussion. Well yes u are right, there are many people who think too much about petty things. No doubt a deep thinking is utmost required for all the issues before we take out decisions but that does not mean thinking even on small issues as it reflects narrow mindedness and might not go well many people also. We should have a control over our thoughts and think wisely where it is required. What say?

hello, in my view thinking is a good habbit but over thinking on a particular issue is dangerous.over thinking in some cases may lead to another problem. So friends think but dont over think. Cheers
