The Quickie: How To Stop Overthinking Everything
Manage episode 299162715 series 2654229
If you’re an over thinker like us, worrying about the future, dwelling on the past, and overanalyzing every single decision can be totally paralyzing in your day-to-day life. Overthinking can make decision-making impossible, and it can create tons of unnecessary stress that holds us back from living a life we truly want. And TBH, it’s usually all over nothing!
But today can literally be the day you take control of your thoughts rather than letting your thoughts control you. Spiralling thought patterns are learned, and they can also be unlearned. The key is just to identify what’s triggering your overthinking, and then work on changing your mindset. In this week’s episode we have tons of expert and research-backed advice on how to do exactly that.
Tune in as we chat about:
- The difference between ruminating vs worrying
- Why learning to just act and “think less, do more” can change your life and propel you forward
- Why you should carve out designated time to overthink/worry
- How to rewrite the stories you are telling yourself in your head
- Tricks for taking back control over your thoughts
- Tips for challenging perfectionism
- The 10/10/10 test for gaining perspective
- How simple mindfulness practices can calm your racing mind
We hope this episode helps you take control of your thoughts! If you have tried and true tactics for stopping those overthinking spirals, we would LOVE to hear them, so DM us if there’s something else that’s worked for you!
