Breathe: The Stress Less Podcast

Overthinking a Big Decision? Try These 3 Questions for Peace #193


Listen Later

Are you caught in an endless mental loop over a decision you can’t seem to solve?

As the year winds down, many of us feel pressure to figure out what’s next — yet instead of clarity, we feel restless, exhausted, and stuck in overthinking. When uncertainty meets fatigue, our nervous system can shift into alarm mode, making even small decisions feel overwhelming.

In today’s episode, Bonnie shares a personal story about decision paralysis, sleep disruption, and the moment she realized peace wouldn’t come from thinking harder — but from asking different questions.

This episode will help you step out of mental overload and into a gentler way forward.🌿

Key Takeaways
💛 Why uncertainty triggers overthinking — especially when you’re tired or stressed

🌿 How sleep loss and nervous system activation create mental “loops”

🧠 Why you can’t think your way out of anxiety — but you can soothe your body

✨ A simple soul care practice to help you step out of your head and into rest

🌿 Breath Prayer
Inhale: As the rain and snow come down from heaven
Exhale: Your Word will not return empty


📖 Scripture
“As the rain and the snow come down from heaven,
 and do not return to it without watering the earth…
 so is My word that goes out from My mouth:
 it will not return to Me empty.” Isaiah 55:10–11
