Overthinking

    Overthinking is the biggest enemy of my life. I think too much. Which becomes a negative aspect of my mind. What is the matter with that? Whenever I watch movies I would imagine myself in that situation. People may say it is normal because everyone feels the same. But I don't stop there, I start imagining the things actually happening in my life. It has become an addiction. Whenever I read a novel I become the character, or the character becomes me. At times I imagine myself to be an orphan of a particular novel, a duke, a horse rider, a painter, an adopted child, etc. Imagining all these things is not a problem. The real problem is I imagine too much that it becomes real and I slip away from reality. I imagine situations that are never going to happen. I know such things are not going to happen but I don't stop my mind from thinking about it. Have you ever wished to go to the moon, I always imagine myself going to the moon, walking on the moon's surface, and exploring new things? They say we cannot walk normally on the moon. Walking on the moon would be like floating in the air. That's the most fascinating thing. I imagine humans flying like birds in the sky and one day I actually saw a person flying in the sky, oh that was in my dream and that was long long ago. I wanted to go beyond the sunset. Not only the sun but beyond this universe. 

    What is keeping me from doing that? It is no one else but myself. I waste my precious time thinking about useless things or spending my time on social media. I think about how I will start my passion from tomorrow and that tomorrow never arrives. I think of many things like acquiring knowledge, learning new languages, joining a sports academy, waking up early, thinking of becoming a better person, and being the best of myself. But when I woke up the next day after spending the whole night on my mobile phone all that passion is gone and I am still that same person thinking of becoming a better person tomorrow. Overthinking is the poison that kills humans bit by bit. It wastes a person's time. A person could have spent his or her time productively instead of overthinking. There is a huge difference between thinking and overthinking. Thinking is healthy, it helps you to move forward but overthinking is poisonous. You would never know how your time melted away just like ice cream. It is no less than a disease; humans should be aware of it. I should especially know that it is dangerous. Dangerous for me. How it affects me, only I know. I have to have control over my mind. Why I am writing about it, is to find the solution to it. Instead of just writing I should find ways to control my mind. There is a saying "There is a thin line between thinking and doing". This line suits the mentality of most of the people of this generation. We think of becoming everything in our life, but it is not put into action and we struggle throughout our life at the end, we regret not doing what we wanted to do. Instead, we should try to change our mentality and behaviour and build habits that can change us.
