Rethinkitis: The Thinking Spiral


Listen Later

Welcome to "Rethinkitis: The Thinking Spiral", a deep dive into the fascinating and often frustrating cycle of overthinking. Rethinkitis is the habit of revisiting decisions—big or small—over and over again, caught in a mental loop of think, rethink, then think again. It’s not necessarily negative like rumination, but it can leave us stuck in the decision-making process, from choosing a gift for a neighbor to life-altering choices like changing careers or ending relationships.

In this episode, we explore how rethinkitis impacts everyday life, where it might stem from, and how to break free from this unrelenting thought spiral. Host [Your Name] shares personal anecdotes—like overthinking a simple gift for a kind neighbor or staying up all night writing a high school essay in search of the “perfect” approach—showing how this pattern wastes valuable time and stifles our authentic selves.

You’ll walk away with three powerful messages:
 1️⃣ There’s no “right” answer for life’s decisions—do what feels best for you in the moment.
 2️⃣ Your authentic self is waiting to emerge—stop letting overthinking hide who you truly are.
 3️⃣ Celebrate your unique gifts and step boldly into the world.
