Here we are at episode 12 and I’m getting real honest with you here about life as an overthinker!
This week has felt intense. My overthinking and general anxiety have felt higher than usual, I think partly due to the transition back to school. I have felt up in my head and anything but connected to my body.
So I wanted to record an episode around how overthinking has shown up for me.
There was a time I didn’t know that it was even a thing! I’ve always been a thinker and I thought that was that. But I started to see that my thoughts would often cause me to feel ungrounded and I’d feel so up in my head that everything felt permanently chaotic.
Over the years I’ve come to understand that I don’t need fixing. Overthinking can be part of my process, but there are tools that I’ve uncovered that allow me to catch myself before I spiral. It’s not always perfect or achievable every time but it’s made a huge difference. I’m sharing the things I’ve found helpful in this episode.
