Hi Zailleh,
Those days can be tough when everything tightens up inside and the brain feels heavy. I have learnt that when that happens my body is telling me to slow my thinking down, take a spiritual break if that makes sense. You think you are not on thinking overdrive but somewhere in there it has become heavy and our mind has become congested. Go for a 5 min walk if you can away from people, take a moment , a few breathes and tell yourself to simply let go of everything at those few moments and just be. Tell yourself that nothing is permanent everything is continuously changing and evolving. To everyone. Tell yourself that you will treat yourself to a nourishing bath, meal, massage or long sleep when you get home because that is what you deserve. When you tell yourself things that are encouraging, loving and supportive you strengthen your soul. I always tell myself "this will pass" and it does.
I felt low again yesterday and my body ached from stress of overthinking and I did exactly that. We need more regular 'stillness and quiet time' to feel and process out feelings and to let go. Take a moment to let go of past and future thoughts and just focus on the present moment. It isnt easy to do at first but if you take 5mins a day a practice this it really helps. It is helping me.
Hope it helps you too.
Take care till next time
