well that maybe as literal as it sounds. I have noticed that it does happen quite often, I find myself strangled in a nest of dysfunctional thoughts and the next thing I know Im surfing zomato and swiggy for chicken kathi wrap. Well thats explains the extra 20 kgs and Mr. Stomach not full. So what did I do about it ? Nothing. I love eating. I'll eat untill I'm stuffed. No fucks given, food is my priority. and about the overthinking? yeah that I could work upon....(thinking hard emoji).

Have you guys heard about the snowball effect ?

I read about it in a book titled "Don't sweat the small stuff, and its all the small stuff".

So as you can see in the image above, as a snowball forms and starts rolling downhill its size keeps on increasing, and at some point it is so big that it would be extremely hard to stop from going further.

Likewise, when we find ourselves thinking something and when we keep on thinking about it, one thought would lead to another and that to other untill you realise you're completely fucked and miserable.

So how to stop yourself from getting stuck from getting in this loop ?

STOP the snowball before it forms and while it isn't big enough to roll over and crush you. Dysfunctional thoughts do no good, and the only thing you'll achieve with your overthinking is a lack of peace of mind.

So catch a hold of yourself when you catch yourself overthinking. Just alarm yourself, be aware of what you are doing and then smash the snowball.

kudos to being one step closer to a happy life.
