The Side Effects Of Overthinking

In virtually all things we humans engage in, exercising moderation is always advised.

Likewise, subjecting our brain to rigorous mental exercise or strain may become counter-productive to our well being. This article looks at reasons why excessive thinking doesn't do you much good.

YOU NEVER ACT OR ACT TOO LATE

Thinking too much means you expend much time, and when you expend much time, you do little or nothing, and when you do nothing, you end up frustrated. Excessive thinking is a lengthy activity that threatens your productivity.

DEPRESSION

So many things in life could really make one extremely depressed, from break ups that that threatens to send you to an eternal coma or joblessness that transforms you to a committed prayer warrior, among others. And just so you know, depression leads to behaviours that accelerate the aging process; for instance, depressed people are less likely to eat well, sleep well, or engage in other actions that will improve their health.

HYPER-COMPLICATION

Letting your brain do an overtime on an issue or task that really don't require overthinking it will only leave things a bit more complicated than they actually should be. Still and all, moderate thinking would still give you a simple yet accurate solution rather than trying to be an extra-terrestial genius.

BRAIN STRAIN

Incredibly, as small as our brain is, the numerous actions it performs is enough for it to demand a leave, a vacation or embark on an industrial strike when selfishly, or not properly paid its due rest. In other words, thinking too much will increase the mental
activity of the brain that leaves it strenuously strained.
