Outline

-  Thinking is good - it's what makes humans special. But often, we over-think, and cause ourselves a lot of unnecessary anxiety. 

-  We often be overthinking and stressing ourself out. And, let's be honest, you're not thinking about how well it's going to go. you are telling yourself you will fail

 - Writing things down helps you to combat stress. 

-  A study published in 2017 in the Journal of Experimental Psychology, showed that writing a list of tasks for the next day helped people fall asleep 9 minutes faster. 

-  The reason you focus on a to-do-list is that these are the type of thoughts that normally keep us awake. 

-  The process of writing things down will help you to stop overthinking. You're saying“hey Brain - I know this is important, I promise I will do something about it”. 

-  Another method is to try to distract your mind. But not just any distraction, something peaceful that requires concentration. like cooking, playing instrument or painting.  Not only will these skills bring you happiness on their own, they will act as an excellent distraction because you need to concentrate. 

-  And our final message is — give yourself a break.  All you can do is your best, so stop trying to make every part of your life perfect. Because, here's a secret: we're all just making it up as we go along.
