Overthinking trivial matters stems from inner emptiness. Fill your life with something genuinely important, a worthy cause, a meaningful pursuit. When you're truly immersed in what matters, random anxieties lose power. Develop strong inner immunity through purpose, not by fighting thoughts. Like Bhagat Singh, marry yourself to something noble. Immersion in the essential is the best meditation and antidote to mental suffering. Without importance, life becomes scattered doing nothing in particular.
