How to stop overthinking things in a relationship?

How to stop overthinking. Relationship is just a circumstance. Focus is key. You have to divert attention. To channel it into current moment, in the now. Focus on breathing helps a lot. Focusing on something, like a spot on the wall, works too. Attention is like water for plants. Practice focus exercises. Thats the healthiest way in my view. Relationship will benefit also, of course.

you need to learn to be confident and accept yourself before you enter into any relationship. Your mental health comes first

Know your worth, and what you deserve! Also, think about what's best for you in the long run. No one has to tell you what's best for you, or what decisions to make. Be yourself, and know what choices are most appropriate for yourself!

Trusting your partner is the most important things so don't keep anything to yourself and ask him/her anything. If you trust each other it would be so much easier to overcome any problem

To stop overthinking things in a relationship, you need to sort out all of your thoughts with your partner because that's what being in a relationship means - knowing each other thoughts may they be good or bad and working through them together.

Remember that often times the actions of another are their own insecurities and issues and not something to take personal. Remember that you can control your thoughts and actions, not another's and therefore, in time, whatever is going to happen will, and your reaction is the only thing you can control so until it is time to react, be calm and live your life remembering that you are a good person with good intentions.

Take some time for yourself. and Recognize when your thoughts are getting the best of you. Consciously stop yourself. The first step when you get that disturbing compulsive feeling of not being able to stop concentrating on someone else is to -STOP!- and if you are in the position to do so sit down, close your eyes, and take some deep breaths, letting the air slowly roll out of your mouth. Find a distraction. Yes when you are thinking too much about something, the best thing you can do is find something to distract you from your own thoughts. Try not to be alone or somewhere quiet. Get your boys and girls to head to town with you for a movie or some Frisbee. Go to the gym and go crazy on the new workout program you found on the internet. Bake a cake for a potluck with your girls or start up your computer for some Warcraft with your buddies.

I feel like it's important to remember that you are totally not alone in overthinking relationships; it's something I think most people will have issues with at some point in their lives. I think it really roots back to trust and an open line of communication between you and the other person in question. If you can't talk about your stressors with your partner, then it's easy for things to get out of hand in your brain.

When your mind becomes muddled and races a mile a minute, try to step away from your thoughts and distract yourself. Try to make a habit of this and catch yourself whenever your thoughts come to consume you.

Overthinking in general can often be a difficult problem to control. However, you should try to remeber that the people you are in relationships with love you, or they are not worthy of your time.
