If your brain loves to spiral, replaying conversations, catastrophising outcomes, or writing imaginary arguments you win three days later,this episode is for you. I explain why overthinking isn’t a mindset flaw. It’s a body cue.

Overthinking is what happens when your nervous system doesn’t feel safe. So your brain tries to compensate by “solving” everything in advance. That’s not logic it’s anxiety in disguise.

We walk through a few powerful tools to disrupt the spiral. First, naming the pattern (“Ah, I’m problem-solving for safety”) helps interrupt it. Then we move into the body: shaking, stretching, even walking helps discharge the energy fuelling the thoughts.

I also share the 3-3-3 grounding reset a fast, easy technique to bring you out of the mental movie and back into the present. Because the goal isn’t to think less it’s to feel more. That’s where your calm lives.
