🌿 Tips to Support Someone with Overthinking & Anxiety

While consulting a psychiatrist is the most important step, here are some helpful everyday tips your brother can try in parallel:

🧘‍♂️ 1. Practice Mindfulness Daily

• Encourage him to try deep breathing or guided meditation apps like Headspace or Calm.

• Even 10 minutes a day can help calm the racing thoughts.

📋 2. Create a "Thought Dump" Journal

• Ask him to write down his thoughts before bed. It helps release mental clutter and reduce nighttime anxiety.

🏃 3. Encourage Light Exercise

• A daily walk, yoga, or light jogging can release endorphins that improve mood naturally.

🚫 4. Limit Caffeine and Screen Time

• Too much caffeine or late-night scrolling can worsen anxiety. Opt for herbal teas and screen curfews.

👨‍👩‍👦 5. Be There Without Judgement

• Let him talk. Listen patiently without jumping to solutions or dismissing his feelings.

📲 6. Follow a Routine

• A regular schedule helps the mind stay anchored and feel more in control.

💤 7. Ensure Proper Sleep

• Encourage good sleep hygiene: fixed timings, no gadgets before bed, and a calm environment.

💬 Remember: Every person's experience with anxiety is unique. These tips are helpful, but professional care makes the most significant difference.
