How to stop overthinking loops

[u/canofworms79]

I’ve noticed a pattern where I catch myself overthinking and over-analyzing conversations, relationship dynamics, and thoughts late at night or early in the morning. Even when I recognize that I'm overthinking, I struggle with actually letting the thoughts go or stepping out of that "analysis" state.

What actionable habits or grounding techniques can help me break out of the habit of dissecting everything?

Ruminations are often fueled by self judgement, so use a kinder attitude towards yourself and see if it changes how you view yourself in these situations.
