We can all be guilty of over-thinking. This is a habitual pattern of rumination that plagues many people, especially those who have been in the corporate rat race for a while. Rummage takes place when you start to think a lot about everything in your life. It is a waste of time and energy because it distracts you from living. Here are some ways in which you can stop this ruminative behavior.

An over-thinking habit is a symptom of depression or anxiety, but you can battle this rather than the disease. You may worry that other people will pick up on your disinterest and detraction. But you must realise that there is no one who would enjoy what you consider to be over-thinking. You can still enjoy life and the company of others if you can put a stop to rumination.
The first step towards fighting depression or anxiety through over-thinking is to identify and describe the symptoms. Symptoms include being preoccupied with problems, ruminating and negative thoughts. These negative thoughts may also include "I will fail" and "I cannot do it". As well as all this, you might also worry about things going wrong. You might also worry that you will not be able to cope.
To combat over-thinking you need to take a stand against depression and rumination. Stop thinking about everything and ask yourself: "What am I doing right now?" Write down your goals and set realistic, achievable deadlines. Set reminders on your watch for your commitments and analyse the work you have done.
Sometimes the over-thinking becomes worse than the anxiety it was supposed to suppress. When this happens you may be an over-thinker. The word over-thinker is derived from the word over-thinking, when you overthink a situation. If you are in a situation that you cannot solve then this will add to your problems.

Jennifer Sander's Anxiety No More: Overcoming Anxiety, Stress, and Depression through Self-Reflection is a very quick read, but a very important one. As a former sufferer of panic attacks and agoraphobia, I found this to be an eye opener. It made me realise that I had been going through these same thoughts and feelings for far too long. I no longer needed to seek out medication or therapists as they would not get to the root of my problems. Through learning how to spot my own over-thinking, I was able to turn my panic attacks around and finally live a normal life again.
