Practice selfcompassion from "summary" of The Power of Overthinking by Shaune Bosch
Self-compassion is the practice of being kind and understanding towards oneself, especially in times of struggle or difficulty. It involves treating yourself with the same level of care and compassion that you would offer to a friend in need. This concept is essential for overcoming overthinking because it helps to challenge negative self-talk and self-criticism that can often fuel the cycle of overthinking. When you practice self-compassion, you are acknowledging your own humanity and imperfections. Instead of berating yourself for making mistakes or feeling overwhelmed, you approach yourself with a sense of empathy and understanding. This shift in perspective can help to break the patterns of negative thinking that contribute to overthinking. Self-compassion also involves recognizing that everyone experiences challenges and setbacks at some point in their lives. By understanding that you are not alone in your struggles, you can cultivate a sense of connection and common humanity that can help to alleviate feelings of isolation and self-doubt. In addition, self-compassion encourages you to be mindful of your thoughts and emotions without judgment. Instead of getting caught up in a spiral of self-criticism and rumination, you can observe your thoughts and feelings with curiosity and openness. This practice of mindfulness can help you to gain clarity and perspective on your overthinking patterns.- Practicing self-compassion is a powerful tool for breaking free from the cycle of overthinking. By treating yourself with kindness, understanding, and mindfulness, you can cultivate a sense of inner peace and resilience that can help you navigate life's challenges with greater ease and grace.
