Stop overthinking

To have something you've never had, you’ll have to do something you've never done.

Hello everyone, this is Diya patel.

Ruminanting, what's ruminanting is? Have you ever noticed that when you see a cow it appears to be constantly chewing on something?

That’s because they’re ruminating.

It’s literally chewing on the same thing over and over again.

Luckily for the cow, the food is digested properly in the process.

Humans however, do not need to ruminate food, but some people have a similar process of overthinking going on in their head.

The more you try not to think about it, the more you are deeply entrenched in the thought loops, building a prison in your own mind.

The darkness holds you captive.

“I’m so excited for this job interview” transforms into “I wonder if they liked me” and then morphs into “oh, I’m so stupid! I shouldn’t have said that! I’m definitely not getting an offer.”

You start blaming yourself for things you didn’t do and worrying about scenarios that may or may not happen.

I know the feeling, and it’s energy-draining. In fact, studies have shown that overthinking elevates your stress levels, reduces your creativity, clouds your judgment and strips you of your power to make decisions.

What if I fail...

"What if I fail..." Sometimes I ask this to myself. So, there is self-questioning answering. I know you want me to tell the answer to this. But before that lets understand failure. What is failure? See the definition of failure vary with person and situations. " You set the line between your success and failure. " So, let's understand this, you worked very hard for this marathon, and you set a goal to be in top 10 athletes. But you came 11th. So, you think that's a failure. And on the other hand, someone eyes only to complete the marathon. So now for that person failure is only if he/she leaves the race before finish line. See this doesn't mean that you should not aim for bigger. You are one who acknowledge your inner strength. So, aim what your inner strength tells you. In all "failure is just a state of mind when you can't meet your own expectation." Why you question yourself for failing? This not many people realize. There is no harm t...

The 521 story: It hurt because it mattered.

It was not easy, it is not easy and it is not going to be easy. Hardwork, determination, sacrifice, etc... but still something went wrong. I was panicked a little, during my neet exam. I thought I would be running out of time and hurried a bit. Biology was easy but I don't know what went wrong with botany part. Zoology was very good. Chemistry was horrible but I still love organic chemistry. Physics was good but my energy was drained till I came this part. Still my score in physics is good comparably. After paper I was asked the go to question, "How was your paper?" To all other people I can lie but not to my parents specially my father. When he asked me I choked initially. But finally I said it was good. But I was very tried and uncertain at the same time. My inner self knew I was going to score above 500 but was worried a little. I hoped that my score would be closer to 600 or above at least 550. But you know always things don't go as plan. I checked through some an...

18 Things I learned in 18 years

🌸26/07/2023... so today is the day I turned 18. Nothing special but here I am sharing 18 things I learnt while I turned 18. This is not just for content but things I truly consider. Things that would stay with me forever. I have tried to elaborate to make myself clearer what deeply within I feel. 1. Self-doubt is greatest enemy Doubting yourself is no good. It is disrespect to people who believe in you. 2. Teenage is terrible, yet the loveliest phase. In this phase you will feel you fit nowhere, hormonal changes, and what not. Yet you will enjoy every moment the most. This is the teenage life. ✨ The friendship you make in teenage, will always stay with you. 3. You alone don't have problems. Be it overthinking or failure or feeling of having stuck at some point. This is not just you, but everyone's life. Do not worry this phase will pass very soon. 🤞😇 4. You have generation gap with your parents. There will be times when you and your parents don't agree a...
