How to Overcome Over Thinking


Listen Later

If you're like me, you have a tendency to over think. And that tendency often steals a lot of my energy and makes me feel like BLEEP. I've talked about how our stories and beliefs can get in our way in previous episodes. I recently came across a book by Joseph Nguyen, "Don't Believe Everything You Think" that really resonated with me and I believe adds another layer of understanding to this concept. Even better, it offers practical ways to curb your thinking AND increase your sense of wellbeing. In this episode, I talk about the pieces of Nguyen's book that most resonated with me and how his techniques can help you make a positive difference to everyone around you, including your team and students. 

Let’s be honest, last year was bad. None of us can afford for 2026 to be another 2025. You can't control everything going on in the world, but you do have a choice.

Are you ready to...

  • Stop overthinking to make better, faster decisions, EVEN under pressure
  • Minimize interpersonal conflicts and resolve them BEFORE they escalate
  • Distribute the workload more equitably and REDUCE burnout and attrition?
