Manage episode 435161673 series 3551861
Are you struggling with overthinking, anxiety, or feeling stuck in your thoughts?
In this episode, I dive into how to stop overthinking in its tracks, reducing anxiety and worry along the way. I explain how our minds tend to "time travel" between an imagined future and an uncertain past, causing significant anxiety. I share personal anecdotes and practical tips to get grounded in the present moment, including the use of your five senses and grounding objects. This episode aims to provide you with immediate techniques to help you build a new habit of staying present.
