Just remember the issues of your past, and whatever happened do not exist anymore. So by ruminating on them, you are not able to change anything that happened and you are wasting precious time in the present. It’s ruining your life, but it doesn’t have to. It’s NOT what happened that is ruining your life. It’s your thinking about it over and over. That is affecting your life!
You can let it go It’s important to let it go.
also, you think something is going to come and ruin your life?
Negative thoughts like that are simply uncomfortable, deceptive messages to the brain that are a result of negative thinking. They are not based on reality.
Are you keeping busy enough? A good way to stop the thoughts is to refocus your attention on something else something that you are very involved in .
when we have too much time on our hands we can overthink. Get busy with some thing every single day. Anything is better than sitting around and thinking
Help somebody else out, it gives you a great feeling. get some exercise, volunteer somewhere there are always people in a worse situation.
I read something once that said,
"get out of your head and into your life! "
Also, something else I learned. Never try to figure out things that went wrong in the past it’s not going to change a thing. When you ruminate about it, it actually makes the thoughts harder to get rid of.
Focus on the positive and move on with your life. Get some help with a counselor if you are really struggling. you are needlessly suffering. You can turn this around.
