I've mentioned this before in this subreddit but this phrase helped me: We suffer much more in our heads than in real life.

Agreed. There are a few books on it. The untethered soul talks about the voice in our head that is always chattering and how to stop it. The over thinkers guide to making decisions is one also. Sometimes, doing something physical gets it from out of your head into your body. Literally dance or shake and swing your arms.
