Take steps to break this toxic habit to bring back mental balance.
Tell me one thing. Do you overthink things? You would probably say,” Maybe, I haven’t thought about that.” Our brains are always thinking. You can never really stop your brain from having thoughts. What we mean by overthinking here is, are you thinking the same ideas repeatedly, all the time.
A negative remark, a rude look, rejection can make your heart freeze with sadness and depression. You can then spend hours thinking about what they meant by those words, turning them over and over in your heads till they are permanently stuck in your brains.

Slow down and take a break to bring success and fulfillment to your work situations.

Why the habit of procrastination can set you back in life, and how can you overcome it.
If you are like me, chances are you frequently postpone doing things that are so important that they make you slightly uncomfortable. You think you would handle it on a later day when the sun shines brighter or when you get up from the right side of your bed.
It need not be about work. You can procrastinate on having that haircut simply because you are terrified of getting a new hairstyle and bored with the same old. It can be as simple as calling your mum or washing those dirty dishes piling up in the sink.
There’s nothing to…
Stop rushing through life and slow down and smell the roses.
Do you find yourself rushing through life, the days and weeks all blending into one rollercoaster ride? Do you often find yourself managing three or more tasks at the same time and in a pool of jangled nerves in fear of dropping them? Do you often forget to eat or take a shower in the midst of your tight schedule and only see your partner and the kids on weekends?
If you nod your head to most of these questions and feel smug thinking being busy makes you look successful, you need to shift your perspective or attitude before finding…
