Tips to overcome work-related overthinking?
I’ve been more and more stressed out about work during weekends; I tend to think a lot about the things I couldn’t finish this week and how to tackle them in the upcoming week. I’ve been getting obsessed to the point I really don’t enjoy weekends and I can’t relax.
It would be unfair to blame external pressures, it is just me overthinking.
What are your strategies to avoid this?
This is absolutely the right approach. It creates a mental safety net so that your mind feels like it can let go, and as a result you do. After that it’s just a trickle of occasional new thoughts, as opposed to continuous storm. Wonderful approach, can’t recommend it enough
“Mental safety net” is a perfect way to put it. You don’t have to keep constantly resurfacing the same thoughts over and over so as to not forget them.
