Are you overthinking? Try These 10 Antidotes to feel better …
If you are an Olympic over-thinker, this episode is for you. Give me 19 minutes and I will help you overthink less.
These are 10 antidotes that have helped me as someone whose brain can spiral, analyse, catastrophise, and create five parallel universes before breakfast. In this episode, I share the exact exercises I come back to when I am spiralling, procrastinating, doubting myself, replaying conversations, or creating worst-case scenarios that have not even happened.
In this episode, I talk about:
- The worst case vs best case scenario exercise (and why setting a literal timer changes everything)
- The limiting belief reframe that exposes the story under the spiral
- Why your environment is a cue for your thoughts and how to interrupt the pattern
- Somatic regulation tools like EFT tapping, breathwork and movement
- Why doing the one thing you are procrastinating on calms your nervous system instantly
- voice-noting or journalling before sharing with others (yes, I have a 57 minute voice note on my phone)
- Why getting out of your head and into your body is non-negotiable
- How to build a “portfolio of proof” when imposter syndrome hits
- Why almost no decision is irreversible
- The 51 percent rule for making aligned decisions without perfect certainty
