It’s difficult because we have so many thoughts we think about. To control it, it takes discipline. Mindfulness helps greatly. In moments that concentratation is not needed, let your thoughts roam free. Then, you won’t need to reminisce about it Remember, thoughts are like clouds, they’ll slowly go away if you give it the right amount of attention. Don’t fight it. Make time for it and let it pass. The more you fight it, the more it’ll come back to you if you don’t give it the time it needs to process (edited)

Everyone has his or her opinion... Which is valid! Most people overthink, worrying unnecessary, stress, uncertainties going on or might be societies. Practice mindfulness and kindness at all phase of circumstances... Remember mental health and inner peace matters. Forget the past, don't worry with the future, just live the moment and be happy, tomorrow will never be a promised. Cheers everyone!🌻🌈🫴🌱🍃😉👊 (edited)

I have a feeling it has something to do with those inner monologues you all have. I can't imagine what that's like.

The mind is designed to think and so it explores all the possibilities whether they be pleasant or horrifying.

Because your mind is vast and full of creativity not ment for daily routines and 9 to 5 grinds that hinder your creativity and expressiveness.

Depending on who you are. Life can work in mysterious ways sometimes handing your ass to you other times surprising you with a moment that makes your day a little brighter. Depending on your troubles it can be bothersome to remain positive. Lately I've felt like a screaming cicada 🙃 (edited)
