EP 3531 You can’t sniff your way out of a cocaine habit


Listen Later

Addiction is not a mindset issue, a motivation issue, or a willpower issue. It is a cycle that destroys your relationships, your In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman lays down a blunt truth: you can’t solve a problem by doing more of the behaviour that created it. While the title speaks to addiction, the real message applies to everyone who gets trapped in cycles of overthinking, catastrophising, and repeating destructive patterns.

Most people try to “think” their way out of anxiety or stress, piling on more analysis, more worry, and more worst-case scenarios. But just like addiction, you can’t escape overthinking by doing more of it. High performers know that awareness, action, and responsibility—not rumination—are what lead to change.

Key Takeaways:

  • Why overthinking is a mental addiction that keeps you stuck
  • How catastrophising becomes a self-created loop of stress
  • Why repeating the same behaviour never leads to a different outcome
  • The mindset shift from rumination to practical action
  • How to break the cycle of avoidance, fear, and mental chaos
  • If you feel trapped in your head and exhausted by your own houghts, this episode will show you how to step out of the loop and take back control of your life.
