You can overthink while you're laying in bed,
Sitting on the toilet, or trying to focus on work or your kids,

Anxious thoughts are loud and relentless!
They feel true and dangerous.

What's even harder is when your anxiety is high,
your ability to think is low.

Anxious brains are not rational-thinking brains,
they are reactive, lying brains.

Here's a quick rundown on Episode 26:

• The Two Faces of Thinking: There's a difference between inspired and anxious thinking. Inspired thoughts spark creativity and joy, while anxious thoughts fuel fear and doubt. Both are normal, but it's important to be aware of the type taking the lead.
• Overthinking's Many Forms: From worst-case scenario planning to replaying past mistakes, overthinking can present in various ways, each keeping you stuck in the past and future instead of the present.
• The Problem with Problem-Solving: Overthinking often stems from your brain's natural tendency to protect you. The constant what-if and anxious thoughts come from your brain trying to solve problems that often don't exist.
• Feeling Your Way Through It: You can't stop thinking by thinking more. Instead, learn to acknowledge and accept uncomfortable emotions without fear. This allows you to detach from the anxiety narrative your brain creates.
• The Power of Self-Awareness: By recognizing these physical and emotional cues, you become more aware of your triggers and can develop healthier coping mechanisms.
