While you’re replaying the same thoughts over and over and over again you’re lost in your head ruminating and what if-ing and worrying and overthinking. It’s exhausting and stressful and it can feel really hard to break free of this overthinking vortex. But it is possible. Not by trying not to think but by directing your attention elsewhere.

In this episode we look at:

  • What is rumination
  • How it feels to be stuck in overthinking and overworrying
  • Why trying not to think doesn’t work
  • How to disrupt the cycle of overthinking with one simple technique that you can do anywhere, any time
