Overthinking means thinking of things that are not real but are happening in your mind.
For example, if your act was inappropriate with another person you tend to think about how they will think about you? But sometimes, the fact is that they have not even paid attention to your weird behavior. And the wisest thing you can do here is to notice the things you could have done better and improve in it instead of thinking what others will think about it.
As a side effect of overthinking you tend to live in the past and miss the present and hence the future.
If you want to use your energy to become successful, you are sleeping pattern must be consistent.
An example of most successful people like Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos; these are the personalities who have succeeded to achieve their dream. When they have been interviewed it was noticed that there sleeping pattern was always consistent. It doesn’t matter at what time they wake up, the thing that matters the most is that they keep their timing consistent. If they are waking up at 7 o’clock, they will keep waking up at 7 o’clock itself.
This again relates to overthinking because overthinking affects your sleep pattern.
Eating junk food is the most common addiction notice in today’s generation. Junk food might seem a cool act today but it affects wildly on your thinking pattern, on your hunger, on your health, and hence on your mind.

Now you must understand why junk food shows this many side effects. It is because the food they are serving might not be fresh and the food they are serving contains most of the preservative chemicals which are certainly not good for your health and for your mind.
Living in the past is also called borderline personality disorder in the technical terms.
If you have been through the toughest time in your past or have made some mistakes, you will keep thinking about the past and how you could have avoided being in that specific situation.
But the most important thing about the past is that you can not change it. You can learn from your past and move on. But if you keep thinking about it, it will ruin your present and hence your future along with it.
If you are connecting with people just to be around the social groups without considering their negative vibes, your whole life will get affected by that negative vibes.
For example, do you remember not doing something just because your friend negatively commented?

If you are a negative person, you can always try to learn how to become positive. If you want to become positive in certain tasks, all you need to do is practice - learn and become perfect in it.
This way you become positive towards certain things and gain confidence.
