The moment you deviate. Correct it.
Sometimes, you wake up at night post a nightmare with real body reactions like chills, heart beating fast, sweating. But, was the dream real? Your mind only percieved it to be real due to lack of the thought of illusion, and same happens when people become anxious.
Focus on solving and moving to the next problem.

Read patiently to clear your mind of baseless overthinking.
When you are thinking about an event where someone mildly insulted you in front of a crowd, let's say they greeted everybody else and not you. I agree, It's sad and painful, it should trigger anger, and that's okay. But what happens next is unbelievable.
Decide.
Overthinking gives you instant peace, you know why Because it stabilises and focuses your mind, it clears any confusion caused by positive options. It makes you forget your life and hop between thoughts.
Protect us.
Let's discuss an example.

Relive relevant moments.
To burn every bit of life on this planet Earth? Or, to generate, nourish and sustain life and to give light. What if it suddenly goes out of control and rushes towards us?
Why don't you focus on the ‘purpose of thinking’ more than merely thinking, that is, to find a solution or a path to a solution?
What did your sister do to you that you can never forget?
if you thought about something in a way, and there was nothing to do; no results, it must not be repeated, no more thinking about it. Reread this.
You start thinking about what each one present there would be thinking, about similar events that happened throughout life, you try to explore that person's reasons and thoughts behind that action and zero in on the worst possible reason, while that fool simply forgot that they didn't greet you already. You question your esteem and identity, ‘he did that because I earn less, I am not worthy of respect. When my day comes, he will get it back with interest.’
The purpose of thinking is-
Is there anything you did that you regret? If so, what is it, and why?
Have a core belief that, nothing is worth ruining even one precious moment of my life, nothing is the end of the world, and that peaceful existence is my ultimate goal like the entire nature.
‘C'mon, get going, nothing happened.’
What is the use of thinking?
Wake yourself up.
The worst people do is to repeat the same thought again and again. It's like banging our head repeatedly on a wall in anger.
‘No, that's stupid, what's relevant, what best can be done?’
Learn for the future.
Remind us of essons and learnings to deal with life.
What's the purpose of the sun?
The solution was simple, if that person is close and this is the first time, ask them. If they are a repeated offender and not so close, simply ditch them, and disown them. ‘Not my friend anymore. I won't pay attention to him.’ That's about it, you are free to enjoy peace of mind and life.
Can you roll your eyes to your foolish thoughts?
Always realise the purpose of thinking and don't deviate from it.

To find a solution, an active solution.
To make you insane and run behind millions of useless thoughts forming chains and spirals?

You are connecting dots, but without any intelligence, simply creating random dots and joining them creating a complex spiral of thoughts leading to nowhere except chaos.
Why don't you simply realise that you are merely thinking and not be one with your thoughts and start living them?
it's like scratching a painful wound and then regretting it later.

Any external information is like a detail in a mathematics sum for you. It needs to be used well to identify the correct formula and steps to a solution.It's not written for continuous attention and thinking and dwelling on it.
Always wake up in the moment of overthinking and shouting stop in your mind.
