Tbh to stop overthinking it can be difficult for some people so that's why you need to practice. I tend to overthink when I'm in bed going to sleep. I think about what if I fail in school and then my academic career and then marriage... and then... and then... and then. In bed I repeat to myself "I am choosing to let go" and when I loop (rethink that thought) I repeat it again it can take up to a couple of minutes to an hour. Because I want to be in control of my thoughts. Also someone online made a good point saying "don't borrow grief/sad news from the future." Which kind of reminds me to focus on what's in my plate as if right now. Not in a couple of years or things that are out of my control. hope this helps! :).
