Breaking the Cycle of Overthinking

Date: Friday 25 Apr 2025

Overthinking can trap men in a cycle of self-doubt and indecision, hindering their ability to achieve goals and live fulfilling lives. Rooted in societal pressures to suppress emotions and strive for perfection, overthinking often manifests as rumination, future-tripping, or overanalysing. This mental habit can drain energy, lower confidence, and impact relationships.

To combat overthinking, experts recommend practical strategies such as recognising thought patterns, challenging unhelpful assumptions, setting time limits for decisions, practising mindfulness, and taking small, actionable steps forward. Tools like Blethr, a digital buddy designed for men, provide a safe and confidential space for self-reflection, mindfulness exercises, and guided support to break the cycle of overthinking.
