Next Level Human

Are you stuck in the endless loop of overthinking? This episode dives into the profound implications of overthinking, illustrating how it often stems from early life experiences and narratives formed during our development. We'll explore how overthinking is more a signpost that needs our attention, rather than a malady that needs to be halted.
Navigating through personal anecdotes, we will uncover the strong correlation between overthinking and our craving for control and clarity. You will hear relatable stories of how decision paralysis can lead to overthinking and anxiety, and how these can be tied back to our childhood traumas. The episode further delves into the two major needs in childhood development - safety and security, and acceptance and belonging, and how these can shape our thinking and behavior.
As we weave through the episode, we will dissect the patterns in overthinking. We will peer into the common areas of life where this habit can appear: career/finance, health/fitness, personal relationships, and purpose/meaning. You'll hear about a unique mindfulness technique that can help manage overthinking, as well as breathing exercises that can bring calm to your mind.
To wrap things up, you'll get some practical strategies to tackle overthinking and guide you to make more confident choices. So, buckle up for this enlightening journey and transform your view on overthinking.
