Stopping ourselves from doing what we want, being successful and happy, doesn’t make sense and yet we all do it. Overthinkers are particularly good at self-sabotaging as we overthink and talk ourselves out of so much. But when we pay attention to ourselves we can start to address it.

In this episode we look at:

• How self-sabotage shows up in life
• What impact it has on our lives
• How we can start to address it and curb our inner saboteur

We can lose the sense of awe and wonder we had as children as we get bogged down with the responsibilities and worries of grown-up life. But feeling awe brings us out of ourselves, it reminds us that we’re not the centre of the universe and helps us to get perspective on life. And it feels good too.

In this episode we look at:

• The surprising benefits of spending more time in awe
• How to take a wonder walk in nature and in a built-up urban area
• Where else you can find awe in everyday life

Feeling like you couldn’t cope if things went wrong, if life became super challenging, is a fear overthinkers share.

In this episode we look at:

• How the fear of not being able to deal with life keeps us scared of life
• What resilience is
• How being resilient reduces overthinking
• Different ways we can build and strengthen our own resilience

Wanting to please people, to be kind or helpful, isn’t in itself a bad thing. But when your desire to please others, make them happy and life you interferes with how you live your life, it’s no longer kind or helpful to yourself.

In this episode we look at:

• What’s behind people-pleasing
• What it looks like
• Why it doesn’t have to be pleasing everybody or nobody
• How to be compassionate and supportive to others AND to yourself too

To some the idea that you’d be afraid to feel happy sounds absurd but not to the overthinker. The fear of being utterly content and joy-filled is real because it’s accompanied by the thought of what if this all goes away?

In this episode we look at:

• Why we feel so scared to be happy
• How we think we’re protecting ourselves by reining in how joyful we feel
• What foreboding joy is really doing
• What we can do to allow ourselves to release the fear and feel the joy we want to
