Which part of that shift—from treating thoughts as facts to simply labeling them as thoughts—felt the hardest for you to implement at first?
What you’re describing is more common than people admit. I’ve been through the exact same mental loops—you finish a task, and your brain keeps looking for hidden errors, even when there's no real issue. One thing that helped me was understanding that overthinking usually happens when we mistake thoughts for facts. I started using a simple exercise where I’d write the thought down and ask myself: ""Is this actually happening right now, or am I just constructing a possible outcome?"" Just labeling it as a thought—not a truth—helped me gain distance. Also, staying too zoomed-in on small details can trick your brain into thinking something’s bigger than it is. I tried this tool once that helped me shift perspective and manage attention a bit better—if you're into experimenting, I found this video about the liven app review interesting because it talks about ways to move from passive rumination to actual noticing of patterns in your thinking with the help of AI and everyday quizzes and tasks. I'm not saying it's magic, but it gave me some language for what's going on
