Today, I'm going to be explaining why some people are addicted to overthinking and imagining fake scenarios in their mind.

And if you don't understand this, you will probably continue creating anxiety and worry, even though nothing is currently wrong in your life.

And what you will end up doing is sabotaging your peace.

And most people listening to this might think like, I might be addicted to overthinking.

I'm overthinking all of the time.

I want you to realize you're not.

What people tend to get quote unquote addicted to is the emotional state that overthinking creates inside of us.

Think about it.

Why would someone spend hours imagining fake arguments that never actually happened?

Why would someone replay conversations from three months ago?

Why would someone create worst case scenarios while they're just laying in their bed at night, completely safe and warm under their covers?

If it feels terrible, why would we keep doing it?

The answer is because your mind is not just producing thoughts.

Your thoughts are producing chemistry and chemicals inside of your body.

Every thought that you think creates some sort of corresponding emotional and physiological response inside of your body.
