How to get out of your head and stop overthinking
Maybe you know this as well, you have a challenge at work, an issue with a colleague, a problem in a project or a meeting where things got quite tense and you cannot stop thinking about it… You are replaying the situation in your head again and again. Your thoughts are going in circles… Welcome in the analysis paralysis!
I know many women, who tend to do this and I had this tendency in the past as well, but I learned how to work with it and get out of it. Especially women, who are highly sensitive and have good antennas for interpersonal things, can easily get into overthinking, since they perceive a lot and thus may also interpret a lot.
Overthinking is often linked to anxiety and feelings and thoughts of inadequacy. In this mode, we take things personal that happen around us and think that the reactions and behaviour of others are our responsibility. This combined with high expectations towards ourselves such as perfectionism, the fear of not being good enough, can really block us in taking decisions or even preventing us from taking on positions with higher responsibility…
In my second podcast episode, I offer an approach how to deal with this and get out of our mind, not by brushing negative thoughts away or trying to reframe them,but by accessing other dimensions of our intelligence …
Curious to know more and experience how this can work? Then listen in and be prepared, I included a spontaneous exercise for you, so you might want to have pen and paper ready while listening or just take some minutes to close your eyes, while you sit in the metro on the way to work or on a bench in the park during your lunch break.
If you wish to get further inspiration and support how to let go of stress and struggle and be more yourself also in your job, I invite you to sign up for my free online course "BREAK FREE - Welcome the woman you feel called to be: 4 weeks to let go of stress and struggle and be more yourself again in your job".Registration deadline is 24/03 for a course start on 26/03. I would love to see you there! If you have questions, contact me at [email protected]
Take care, Anna-Lena
