Melissa Fumero:过度思考是一种陷入低效思考的深思熟虑,它可能与焦虑、抑郁和/或强迫症相关。过度思考的关键在于“螺旋”这个词,因为它能体现过度思考时的感受。焦虑和她是最好的朋友,随着年龄的增长,她学会了更好地与焦虑相处。她年轻时过度思考很严重,从早上穿衣到计划活动都会陷入过度思考的循环。 随着年龄的增长,她对过度思考有了新的理解,并学会了一些应对方法,例如:起床离开床铺,阅读一些无聊的东西,而不是拿起手机;问自己“这是真的吗?”来检验自己的过度思考,因为许多担忧都尚未发生;把过度思考的事情暂时放在一边,就像把它装进一个小袋子里,放到脑后;不要过度思考过度思考本身,因为这会加剧焦虑。 Stephanie Beatriz:她认为每个人都以某种方式经历着焦虑,有些人善于管理,有些人正在学习如何管理,有些人甚至不知道自己正在为此苦苦挣扎。她的过度思考表现为思考事情会如何出错,仿佛这能帮助或保护她。过度思考可以分为三种类型:反复思考(沉溺于过去的消极事件)、杞人忧天(担心未来)和过度分析(深入研究一个话题)。重要的是要确定自己属于哪种过度思考者,以便找到应对方法。她理解为什么人们会过度思考选择家具,因为这不仅仅是选择一件家具,而是要考虑舒适度、耐用性、外观等诸多因素。为了避免过度思考家具选择,她建议列出非谈判条件,即你绝对需要的家具特性。在开始执导时,她会过度分析场景的安排,但后来她意识到她需要做出决定并坚持下去。她训练自己做出决定,即使她不确定是否是最好的选择,因为过度思考会阻碍工作效率。在生活中,可以设定一个计时器来限制自己思考某个问题的时间,然后做出决定并继续前进。有时,当你放下决定并继续前进时,更好的答案会自然而然地出现。应对过度思考的关键是让自己回到当下,专注于自己能控制的事情。她建议把需要思考的事情写下来,安排时间专门处理,而不是在半夜过度思考。
