If you are stuck in overthinking, read this.. The more selfless you are, the happier you become. Anxiety and overthinking is always about "me and my life" Too much individual-oriented thinking and self-centredness causes anxiety. "What will happen to my future? I'm in lack of this or that." This thinking pattern has become normal, a norm in a lot of us. If you channelise yourself, that is your desires, expectations and ambition in the right direction, you'll feel motivated to work everyday with child-like freshness and enthusiasm. It all starts with a perspective. Understand that - this world works on one fundamental principle that is - serving others. If you keep on thinking about yourself, you'll only be trapped in overthinking and suffer the "why me" syndrome. The fear of self-security feeds on itself when you are thinking just about yourself. It slowly becomes a vicious cycle. So the direction is to choose a higher purpose in life. Make a goal to serve others. Be it working to devote yourself to a deity or your family. In devotion to the world, you devote yourself to the society and your creator as well. Selflessness is the actual ground for true spirituality and happiness. Those who live for others, truly live. Remove yourself and your expectations from the equation, you'll be genuinely willing to serve your fellow humans. In fact, you'll be happy to work. What else, do you need if not this freedom?
