THE HEALTH RECIPE FOR YOU TO STOP THINKING MUCH

It's a rule to think before you speak, but you can run into trouble when you think so much that you fail to act right, or think yourself into a state of uncontrollable anxiety. Are you looking for a way to stop thinking too much? Follow these steps
　









Try to let go your thoughts
　
1.
Accept that you're thinking too much. Just like eating, thinking is something we need to do to survive, so it is sometimes hard to judge when you are doing too much of it. However, there are several red flags that you are doing too much thinking for your own good. Here are a few of them:
Are you consumed by the same thought over and over again? Are you not making progress by thinking about this particular thing? If so, this may be a sign that you should move on.
Have you analyzed the same situation from a million angles? If you've found too many ways to look at something before you decide how to act, you may be being counterproductive.
Have you enlisted the help of your twenty closest friends in thinking about a particular thing? If so, then it's time to realize that you can only ask for so many opinions about the same idea before you drive yourself insane.
Are people constantly telling you to stop over-thinking things? Do people tease you for brooding, being a philosopher, or staring out of rainy windows all the time? If so, they may have a point. 2
Meditate. If you feel like you don't know how to stop thinking, you need to learn what it's like to "let go" of your thoughts, so that it's something you can do deliberately. Imagine that thinking is like breathing; you do it all the time, without even realizing it. But if you need to, you can hold your breath. Meditating will help you learn how to release your thoughts.



Just spending 15-20 minutes meditating every morning can make a dramatic impact on your ability to stay in the present and let go of all of your nagging thoughts.
You can also meditate at night to help yourself wind down

Exercise. Running or even walking vigorously can help you take your mind off of all of those annoying thoughts and to focus on your body. Participating in something particularly active, like power yoga, martial arts or beach volleyball, will have you so focused on your body that you won't have time for your thoughts. Here are some great things to try:
Join a circuit gym. Having to switch to a new machine every minute when you hear that bell ring will keep you from getting lost in your thoughts.
Go hiking. Being around nature and seeing the beauty and stillness around you will keep you more focused on the present moment.
Go swimming. Swimming is such a physical activity that it's even harder to swim and think. 4
Say your ideas out loud. Once you've said everything aloud, even if you're talking to yourself, you've begun the process of letting go. Walk around and pace if you have to. Once you've put your ideas out there, you've begun the process of putting them out into the world and out of your thoughts.



5
Ask for advice. You may have exhausted your own thinking power, but someone else might be able to offer a different perspective that makes the decision clearer. This can help let go of your troubling thoughts. Your friend can make you feel better, can ease your problems, and can also make you realize when you're spending way too much time thinking.
Besides, if you're hanging out with a friend, you're not just thinking, right? That's something.

Solve as many problems as you can. If your problem is that you think too much about nothing, worry for no reason, or think about things you can't control, then there's not much you can do to "solve" the problems that are plaguing your thoughts. But think of the ones you can solve and make an active plan for going about doing so, instead of thinking, thinking, thinking without it going anywhere. Here are some ideas for what you can do:
Instead of thinking about whether or not your crush likes you, take action! Ask him or her out. What's the worst that can happen?
If you're worried that you're falling behind in work or school, make a list of all of the things you can do to succeed. And then do those things!
If you like to think, "What if..." a lot, try to do the things that are feasible
You can say them aloud to yourself, your cat, or to a trusted friend 2

Be social Surrounding yourself with people you love will keep you talking more and thinking less. Make sure to get out of the house at least a few times a week, and make a point of working to develop lasting and meaningful relationships with at least two or three people in your area that you can hang out with. You'll be much more prone to thinking if you spend a lot of time by yourself.
Alone time is definitely a good thing, but it's important to mix up your routine with some time to hang out with your friends, let loose, and have fun. 3
Explore nature. Get outside and start looking at the trees, smelling the roses, and feeling fresh water on your face. That will help you live in the moment, embrace nature and the impermanence of your existence, and to see a world outside of the one you created inside your own head. Put on your sunblock and your sneakers and stop being cooped up in your bedroom.
Even if you're not into hiking, running, biking, or surfing, make a goal of walking through a park at least once or twice a week, taking a weekend trip to something nature-related with your friends during your next vacation, or just going somewhere were you can stare out at a big blue lake or ocean.
And if that seems like too much work for you, just go outside. Being out in the sun will make you happier, healthier, and less likely to brood.
