How to be more present?
And stop ruminating about what’s done and what’s next? I heard being present helps with overthinking.

That’s something I have been trying to do too. Just noticing little things, appreciating small things, using all your senses to experience things can help I think
@Anonymouse Only distractions work for me. Drugs, music, movies, video games will put me into being present most of the time.
Practicing mindfulness really helped me!! I started slowly with mindful shower meditations from YouTube. That along with OCD specific meditations really help me and mindfulness implements itself into my life and thoughts! This is also a really great form of CBT therapy :)
@Unusedtortilla I overthink in the shower a lot.
@mentaltorture That’s why the mindfulness helps, it’s hard at first don’t get me wrong but it helps you learn how to redirect your thoughts and center yourself again
