Have you ever find yourself imagine in a fantasy world, where you are hero? Thinking about your future success, or imaging you are a hero of your own story? If yes, Don't worry about it, It's us.

I have already experience this for years. But I won't say it's bad.
It's common with all of us. But if I think more than acting, then it is probably bad for me. 
I don't want to waste my life thinking in dreams rather than living. 

Ofcourse, who wants.

I had been in same situation, wasting my time thinking like this. That's not important. 
Important part is, was I feeling happy? Most obvious answer is absolutely not. 
Was I satisfied? Also not. I doesn't even remember this all kind of things either. 
So what's the point? Nothing. Then why I am wasting my life on this?
And how I can control this? If you have sae question let's try to get rid out of it.

How we can actually control it?

Before, why to control it?

# Why?

ofcourse wasting time is the thing. But If I enjoy doing it & I am satisfied with it, I would probably control it rather than eliminating.

But here is thing, that as humans we are tend to overthink.

Recently, I was encounted with a Bat & for some days I was too much overthing that If I get rabies or something else..

Even though it only touched me, I was thinking hypothetical situations that never occured in real life. After 4 days I ended up starting vaccination.

But if we tend to overthing, how we can control it?

# How to control it?

As Darius Foroux said in their book think straight,

we are what we think.

That might be correct, But we don't have to trust it blindly either. I also think "we are what we think" but not completely. 
And you also don't have to trust me also. If worked for me doesn't mean work for you.

whatever let's back on topic that how to control this kind of thoughts?
First let me ask you, "who said to control it?"
you & me only have to make sure that it doesn't interrupt our work relationships & happiness. Other thing doesn't matter.

Only thing we can do is, acknowledge it & then ignore it. when you do this repeatedly you will train your brain to ignore this kinds of thoughts & just move back to work.

This is what I am doing from past several days. I would not say I have stopped daydreaming or overthinking completely, But it won't interfere with my life.

I started to live in present, feel the air around me.

what do you think about it?

You can try to control your thoughts. When I tried its just backfired.

Rather than control, I trained by brain to acknowledge it & then ignore.

Its not like I completely stopped overthing, but I control it very much.

Now I look at facts first before conclusion.

# Think Simple                                                  
That's why if you also want to do it we must have to train our brain to do so.

And we don't have any other option.

Before this I was addicted to Anime.
So, I tried 48 hours dopamine detox.
By the way I am not promoting, If you have time you can read this my article. 
Before I want to warn you that it might be time waster because I just failed that dopamine detox. And I had no enough data to conclude anything, still if you want to read you can.
