Overthinking involves thinking too much about something to the point of being harmful rather than helpful. It can lead one to emphasize problems over solutions, ruminate on past negatives in a way that creates negative patterns, and worry excessively about the future or get caught up in big picture thinking. Effects of overthinking include using up energy and time, reducing decision making ability, and getting stuck in loops of thinking. To overcome overthinking, one should focus on being in the present moment and taking action instead of just thinking.
