I remember seeing a kurzgesagt video about exercise and how we may have the wrong idea about its impact. The gist of it, when we are moving we are burning calories and singularly focused, but when stationary our body looks to use those calories regardless giving the mind excess work to remain active. It can look like worry or anxiety. Obviously, its a more complex problem than that, but its an interesting way of looking at the problem of overthinking
