 Me, everyday.
Those that consider themselves to be overthinkers actually have something of a gift compared to others.
Most people are limited to standard activity in the medial prefrontal cortex. While that is fine for daily life, it is shocking how much more can be accomplished with an overactive mind and the proper training. The trick is to learn what works for you and what methods you can use to focus all that mental energy into something positive.
Expanding creativity is one of the most effective methods, and focusing on observational detail is another. The last of the major potential positives of overthinking is empathetic reaction, which is something of a mixture of the first two methods.
An empathetic reaction is the idea that an overthinker can use their mental abilities to combine observational detail and creativity to form an image of what existence must be like for another person. Full empathy is the ability to completely place yourself in someone else’s shoes, and an empathetic reaction is a single instance of empathy in which the overthinker momentarily realizes what an experience is like for the subject.
In many cases, empathy is used to feel the negative feelings and emotions that another might have in order to understand their position. Overthinkers are some of the best at empathy because they can learn to glean all the most important details while observing their surroundings. They can also learn to creatively use those details to fill in the gaps that are left unspoken or acted.
While overthinking tends to have a negative stigma associated with it, it can actually be used to better your life if you can learn to control it.
The same is true for just about any physical or mental characteristic. Many of those personality traits might seem inconvenient or inhibiting, but they can be exactly the opposite.
There is no real reason to think of an overactive medial prefrontal cortex as a bad thing. In fact, it actually provides the potential for a larger appreciation of the world around you. Just like any other tool that can better your life, it must be learned and honed to become maximally effective. Don’t let anyone tell you that overthinking is an inherently negative thing. |
