Running away from the thoughts.

August 10, 2019 4:32pm CST
Most of the time, i find myself overthinking. Its triggered by things that other people say or being somewhere in the silence for too long, me and silence don't really go together. Each time i find myself overthinking, I pick up my headset and listen to music. Its the only way I get to run away from my own thoughts. They are scary sometimes. I listen to NF... He is kind of the only rapper i can really relate to... What kind of music do you listen to and whats your most preferred way of dealing with overthinking?

@Purity1 Welcome to My Lot. Thank you for sharing that with us. It is nice to get away from our thoughts for awhile and put the headset on and put some nice music on and get into that.

Welcome to myLot Maxwell! I hope you enjoy being here. I find it hard to control my thoughts and they can go all over the place. However, I can control how I react to my thoughts and counter the thoughts that I don't like. I can think about what it would be like to jump from a tall building but I am certainly not going to do that. I like melodious music and don't like all music but do like a lot of it.

@Purity1 Being alone with your thoughts can be scary. It is nice to pick up the headset and just listen to music you like to get away for awhile.

Music is truly a great way to get away from over thinking. I love reading books whenever I am alone and can fall into over thinking.

I prefer unknown languages songs when I'm sad. Because it's the lyric that make us more sad, but a heart touching music can heal our pain. Mostly the Rhythm that helps us get out of the pain.

I feel overthinking creates un necessary imagination which sometimes lead to nothing

I will be honest that i do the same. Which causes me bad anxiety. Music is literally my addiction. Music is my escape from reality. I am just saying how i do things but i don't know about others.

Hi friend, In my case as a Latino, I listen to salsa. And the way I deal with my excessive thoughts is doing activities that require my full concentration.
