What killed the Frog 🐸

 Put a frog in a vessel of water and start heating the water.

 As the temperature of the water rises, the frog is able to adjust its body temperature accordingly.

 The frog keeps on adjusting with increase in temperature...

 Just when the water is about to reach boiling point, the frog is not able to adjust anymore...

 At that point the frog decides to jump out...

 The frog tries to jump but is unable to do so, because it has lost all its strength in adjusting with the rising water temperature...

 Very soon the frog dies.

 What killed the frog?

 Many of us would say the boiling water...

 But the truth is what killed the frog was its own inability to decide when it had to jump out.

 We all need to adjust with people and situations, but we need to be sure when we need to adjust and when we need to confront/face.

 There are times when we need to face the situation and take the appropriate action...

 If we allow people to exploit us physically, mentally, emotionally or financially, they will continue to do so...

 We have to decide when to jump.

 Let us jump while we still have the strength.

 Think on It !!

How Overthinking Kills from within

 SEE HOW OVERTHINKING IS KILLING YOU...

Overthinking means to think too much about (something): to put too much time into thinking about or analyzing (something) in a way that is more harmful than helpful.

Overthinkers may have trouble distinguishing between the fear of making a mistake, which leads to overthinking to the point where they make no decision, and a deep feeling that something is wrong. 

Knowing if fear or intuition is guiding your behavior will help you get out of your head and take the next necessary steps.

SIGNS THAT YOU OVERTHINK

▶️Difficulty following along with and contributing to a conversation because you go over potential responses or statements time and again until the conversation has either ended or the window of opportunity for speaking was lost

▶️Continually comparing yourself to the people around you and how you measure up to them

▶️Focusing on worst-case scenarios either involving yourself or the ones you love

▶️Reliving past failures or mistakes over and over again and you're unable to move past them

▶️Worrying about future tasks and/or goals until they feel almost impossible to accomplish

▶️Reliving a past traumatic experience (such as abuse or the loss of a loved one) leaving you unable to cope with it

▶️An inability to slow down the racing of vague thoughts, worries or emotions

HOW TO OVERCOME OVERTHINKING

➡️Don't think of what can go wrong, but what can go right.

➡️Distract yourself into happiness. Meditate of positive outcome. 

➡️Stop waiting for perfection.

➡️Accept your best. Celebrate your little wins

➡️Know you are a work in progress,you are not above making mistake.

➡️Be grateful for what you have as you wait for what you are expecting
