Seeing your worries from a new perspective -- interest and curiosity -- can provide opportunities for learning and personal growth. Curiosity opens up a world full of possibilities, otherwise it may be hidden under your anxiety. Moreover, you may be surprised to find something new in yourself, such as the inner power you never realized.

Making a silly spin on your overthinking helps you see the absurdity. In addition, when you are busy giggling, how can you indulge in the negative side? After all, they say laughter is the best medicine.
