Every living species has a superpower, and for humans, it's our capacity to think and problem-solve—yet this gift becomes problematic when we can't stop thinking to the point of exhaustion.

• Our imagined problems are often worse than reality, with research showing worry about pain is typically worse than the pain itself
• The issue isn't having thoughts but being unable to rest from them as we default into constant thinking
• Separate yourself from thoughts by acknowledging "I have thoughts" instead of "I am thinking"
• Categorize thoughts as truth, memory, speculation, problem-solving, or judgment
• Visualize thoughts as bubbles and let them float by rather than clinging to them
• Disrupt thought patterns by activating your senses—try deep breathing, observing a candle, taking a walk
• Grounding activities like organizing closets or washing dishes can help shift from thinking to sensing
