Calm AF | Overthinking, Anxiety & Nervous System Regulation

Bored or Regulated? Why You Need To Embrace the Emotion You Hate


Listen Later

If you struggle to relax and feeling bored makes you want to jump out of your skin, this episode will hit you in the face.

Most high achievers think their problem is needing to learn to manage their stress, anxiety, or overthinking.

It's not.

Your real problem is that you don't know how to tolerate boredom.

And what you're calling "boredom" is actually the absence of nervous system dysregulation.

In this episode, I break down:

  • Why high performers are addicted to urgency and pressure
  • How overthinking is a response to boredom
  • The connection between boredom and nervous system regulation
  • Why calm, content, and peaceful can feel uncomfortable
  • How you're unintentionally creating problems when nothing is wrong

If you've ever:

  • Finished a big project and immediately created a new problem
  • Felt restless when things are calm
  • Struggled to stop overthinking even when life is "good"

This episode will show you exactly what's happening in your brain and body.
