You weren\u2019t busy\noverthinking. Faster than you can say pandemic, we\u2019ve all started obsessing the\nsame exact thing, the Coronavirus and the way it\u2019s affecting all our lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Try to turn your focus elsewhere<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIf you are prone to obsessing, and the coronavirus has you\nobsessively thinking about the implications of the virus, try to focus your\nenergy on other, more positive initiatives in your life,\u201d advises Dr. Taryn\nStejskal the former Head of Executive Leadership Development at Nike, who now\nruns her own coaching company, Resilience Leadership.&nbsp; While some people might not be open to the\nidea of looking at a bright side in all of this, Stejskal offers ways to use\nall that energy in pursuit of a positive end result. \u201cFor example, use your\nenergy to do the things for self-improvement or around your home that have been\non your to-do list forever, but have languished due to lack of time. Would you\nlike to learn a new language? Read all the books by your favorite author? Take\na college course online? Focus on an in-home fitness and nutrition routine?\u201d\nThis might be the ideal time to allow yourself to spend some time on yourself\nwith none of the guilt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1372\" data-attachment-id=\"1117\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/12\/how-to-stop-overthinking-everything\/african-american-female-doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?fit=2400%2C1372&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2400,1372\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;1.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Getty Images\\\/iStockphoto&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS 5DS&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;Displeased black healthcare worker using computer and reading an e-mail at doctor&#039;s office.&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1542922809&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;@drazen_zigic&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;50&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;500&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.008&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;African American female doctor with headache working on laptop.&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"African American female doctor with headache working on laptop.\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Displeased black healthcare worker using computer and reading an e-mail at doctor&amp;#8217;s office.&lt;\/p&gt;\n\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?fit=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?fit=1024%2C585&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?fit=1024%2C585&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?w=2400&amp;ssl=1 2400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?resize=300%2C172&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?resize=1024%2C585&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?resize=768%2C439&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?resize=1536%2C878&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/doctor-with-headache-working-on-laptop.jpeg?resize=2048%2C1171&amp;ssl=1 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption>Displeased black healthcare worker using computer and reading an e-mail at doctor&#8217;s office.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>There\u2019s no shame in finding a silver lining<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re all going to be spending a lot of time at home in the\ncoming weeks, so trying to find a silver lining doesn\u2019t mean that you aren\u2019t\ntaking all of this seriously, but rather that you might find someplace else to\nfocus some of that negative attention or energy. Or as Stejskal puts it \u201cNow is\nthe time to focus on our own self-development free of many of the distractions\nand commitments we often have on our busy calendars.\u201d And that also means that\nif doing nothing at all has always been on your agenda, that\u2019s fine too.\nDesignate time to meditate or fill bags with clothing to drop off at Goodwill\nif that\u2019s what makes you feel like your time is well spent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Try writing or drawing about it<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While many experts recommend journaling to work through\nissues like anxiety, artist Dawn DeVries Sokol took it a step further and\nrecently started a Patreon account to offer art journaling classes. She\u2019s\nkeeping the price low\u2014only $6.00 per month\u2014since she realizes that a lot of\npeople might be tight on money right now. \u201cI\u2019m calling it \u201cKeep Calm Art\nJournaling,\u201d she told Ladders. The idea came to her because \u201cI had been\nthinking about teaching online again but just couldn\u2019t find a focus.\u201d Sokol\nisn\u2019t focused on the earnings potential with this venture, but instead created\nthis to \u201creconnect with the art journalers I know and friends online.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Is there a hobby or artistic pursuit that calms you? This\nwould be a great time to find a community of likeminded souls and create\ntogether.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Make a list<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s usually worries and anxiety to some extent that is\ncausing overanalyzing,\u201d shared Kat Burki, founder of Kat Burki Cosmetics. \u201cOf\ncourse, there is mindfulness and mediation to help clear the mind, which for me\nhas worked but often, that is not always practical as there is work to be done\nand a level of analysis that is needed. Creating lists really help me.\u201d Burki\nexplained that for her, lists help because \u201cIt helps in getting it out of the\nmind yet knowing it is still going to be addressed. One thing running a company\ndoes for you, teaches you to not overreact and put things into perspective. At\na certain point, you have really experienced it all before and know everything\nworks out.\u201d Burki has learned to approach things to step by step. \u201cFor\ninstance, these two things need to happen first for this to happen next.&nbsp; Once those two things are checked off, now\nonto the next.\u201d&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Manage your social media intake<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" data-attachment-id=\"1118\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/12\/how-to-stop-overthinking-everything\/1_-ve6gzdlj_psaa3d3et3sg\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?fit=2000%2C1333&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2000,1333\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?fit=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i1.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?fit=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1118\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?resize=300%2C200&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?resize=1024%2C682&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?resize=768%2C512&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/1_-VE6gZdLJ_PSAA3D3ET3Sg.jpeg?resize=1536%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At the best of times, social media can make your mood plummet\ndepending on your existing state of mind or life\u2019s circumstances. But with so\nmany people working from home for the first time, there can be a temptation to\nwaste even more time tweeting or updating your Facebook status. You should\nprobably do just the opposite right around now and build time into tune out. \u201cI\nhave a few tools that help me achieve clear thinking and discernment much of\nthe time. First, I build in chunks of time throughout my week when I am away\nfrom my phone,\u201d shared Ava Zahn, Founder of Earthwise Beauty. \u201cI try to be\ndisciplined and not check my social media accounts after 6 pm. I also pay\nattention to how posts from different accounts affect my self-esteem and\nregularly unfollow accounts that inadvertently end up making me feel poorly about\nmyself or what we are doing as a company.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Burki has also learned to take social media less seriously.\n\u201cAs far as the internet and the news, if you start to feel negatively from it,\nturn it off and laugh it off.&nbsp; Nothing\ngood comes from negativity,\u201d she said.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Find offline ways to do your work when possible<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1111\" height=\"548\" data-attachment-id=\"1120\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/towncryyers.com\/index.php\/2020\/04\/12\/how-to-stop-overthinking-everything\/steam-offline-header-1\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?fit=1111%2C548&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1111,548\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"steam-offline-header-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-medium-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?fit=300%2C148&amp;ssl=1\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C505&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?fit=1024%2C505&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1120\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?w=1111&amp;ssl=1 1111w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?resize=300%2C148&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C505&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/towncryyers.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/steam-offline-header-1.jpg?resize=768%2C379&amp;ssl=1 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zahn also takes a lot of her research offline to avoid\nspending too much time making comparisons between herself and her competitors.\n\u201cWhen I want to research a topic to understand it better, I usually resort to\nprinted books instead of researching online, as this way I get an opinion from\none author, one voice at a time, and then I know that the author didn\u2019t write\ndown his or her opinions quickly, but took at least several months to write the\nbook.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Zahn is also a fan of calming herbs and flower essences and\nrecommends paper birch and weeping willow as two to consider.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Faster than you can say pandemic, we\u2019ve all started obsessing the same exact thing, the Coronavirus and the way it\u2019s affecting all our lives.
