Hello,
The more you fight or say no, the more the mind wants to do it
Focus on increasing the dose of desired thoughts, focus shifts there, so the resistance at least decreases.
Counseling sessions will help you to attain a more calm state of mind.
Feel free to consult.
Happy Healthy Living!

Hi,
We have two minds, conscious (your awareness) & subconscious (deep rooted memories, emotions lies). when these two are out of balance we notice the disturbance, overthinking. Consciously what we want subconscious mind is not able to support that.
Through Hypnotherapy we directly release all the negativity from subconscious & program it for positivity & focus. Its safe drug less therapy.
Thank You & Take care

Health Tips
Overthinking is a common issue that can lead to anxiety, stress, and even depression. Negative thinking can be a challenging habit to break, but with some effort and persistence, it's possible to change your thought patterns and develop a more positive outlook on life. Here are some tips to help you stop overthinking:
Identify the triggers: The first step in stopping overthinking is to identify the triggers that lead to it. Take note of situations, people, or events that tend to trigger your overthinking. Write them down to help you recognize and challenge them.
Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness can help you stay focused on the present moment and reduce your tendency to overthink. You can practice mindfulness by focusing on your breath, body sensations, or surroundings.
Set limits: If you find yourself constantly thinking about a particular issue, set a time limit for yourself to think about it. Once the time is up, switch your focus to something else.
Engage in physical activity: Exercise can help you release tension and reduce stress. It can also help you shift your focus away from your thoughts.
Distract yourself: Find an activity that you enjoy, such as reading, listening to music, or watching a movie. Doing something enjoyable can help you take your mind off your thoughts.
Seek support: Talking to a therapist can help you gain perspective on your thoughts and feelings. It can also provide you with emotional support.
Practice gratitude: Make a habit of focusing on the things you're grateful for. This can help shift your focus from negative thoughts to positive ones.
Surround yourself with positive people: Spend time with people who have a positive outlook on life. Their attitude can be contagious, and it can help lift your mood and change your perspective.
Take care of yourself: Make sure you're getting enough sleep, eating a healthy diet, and exercising regularly. When you take care of yourself, you're more likely to feel positive and have a better outlook on life.
Remember, stopping overthinking takes time effort, practice and patience, but it's worth. It's important to be kind to yourself and recognize that it's okay to have thoughts and feelings, but it's important to not let them consume you. With time and effort, you can learn to manage your thoughts and live a more peaceful life.
