โIniisip ko lang naman nang mabuti yung problema.โ pero ask yourself again: โMay solution ba akong nabubuo or paikot-ikot lang ako sa parehong thoughts?โ
OVERTHINKING: You keep thinking about the same problem, but you're not moving forward.
โข Imagining worst-case scenarios
โข Looking for certainty you can't get
โข More thoughts, more anxiety, little or no action
PROBLEM-SOLVING: You think about the problem with a purpose: to decide what you can realistically do next.
โข Identify what you can control
โข Consider possible solutions
โข Take action or make a plan
The difference?
โ
Overthinking tends to keep you in the โthinking loopโ
โ
Problem-solving moves you toward โclarity, direction, and actionโ
If there's something you can control, identify one small next step you can do.
