I definitely overthink before sleep, I'm relatively calm in the other places you listed. I never thought about where/when I overthink before, thanks for giving me a new way of framing overthinking, I will try my best not to overthink it
Try mindfulness meditation. It has helped me get reins on my running mind, especially when I'm trying to sleep.
I used to meditate alot and it has helped, using headspace in the beginning but I stopped some years ago. On the bright side I overthink much less than before but meditation couldn't hurt and would probably help
All of course, but you are eight places short for your zodiac substitute wheel. Allow me to suggest:
- While driving
- While getting ready to work
- Upon waking up
- While on the toilet
- While eating a meal
- During breaks
- While doing tedious work
- While vacuuming or cleaning floors
I vote for vacuuming to be combined with dishes for a general “while cleaning”. There needs to be a “while interacting with other people”.
With that said, my zodiac sign is “yes”
I have them all, what do I win?
There's a place you don't?
If you are always listening to podcasts or audio books your brain can't over think so you only do it while trying to sleep.
Por que no los todos
Idk if that is good Spanish but everywhere
por qué no todos would be the right way to phrase it, you were close enough though good job
Yes.
Yes.
Wait, you guys can stop over thinking?
Public spaces and my face cannot hide my thoughts.
I get some strange looks
all of the above
And more!
At my desk, at the gym, at work, during therapy, watching TV, eating, at the club, while reading, so many opportunities to overthink!
It won't ever shut up (brainhole adhd).
It's more what triggers the few seconds of quiet I get blessed with every few moons.
For me its when I’m sitting on my bed after showering and getting dressed
Yes.
Washing dishes is the place of least overthinking, mostly because I have to put something in the background to keep the thoughts at bay. If not it's constant.
public spaces? are you a... psycho?
Public spaces are the gauntlet. Everything in your body yelling at you to be extremely aware while your brain painfully attempts to disassociate. There is no space for thinking there
Everywhere that why I'm always trying to get my mind the most distracted as possible, and that probably make me dumb as fuck and more forgetful than a clown fish
It's probably because you're not distracted by a phone while doing those activities, and your mind has space to think.
Before sleeping. It also always makes me think of this song
I don't usually over think but I just think of some random shit all day long and it's hard to just focus on something unless I am absolutely into it and enjoy it. I don't think I have ADHD but never bothered getting diagnosed as it's not bad enough to worry.
Rn thinking about dot age on the toilet doom scrolling and does anyone play the game? Should I stick with full tomato farms for food or should I try to unlock wheat and switch to it? I only have 2 thinkers pondering at the tree and +4 research doesn't seem to cut it and progress feels slow. But I am expanding a fair bit and nearly occupied the whole map so should I halt expansion and focus on research? This is my first run and halfway through summer.
Yeah
Why not all of them?
I try not to think if I can help it. Interferes with being nuts.
