It is a cycle that destroys your relationships, your In this episode of The Strong Life Project, Shaun O’Gorman lays down a blunt truth: you can’t solve a problem by doing more of the behaviour that created it. While the title speaks to addiction, the real message applies to everyone who gets trapped in cycles of overthinking, catastrophising, and repeating destructive patterns.
Most people try to “think” their way out of anxiety or stress, piling on more analysis, more worry, and more worst-case scenarios. But just like addiction, you can’t escape overthinking by doing more of it. High performers know that awareness, action, and responsibility—not rumination—are what lead to change.
Why overthinking is a mental addiction that keeps you stuckHow catastrophising becomes a self-created loop of stressWhy repeating the same behaviour never leads to a different outcomeThe mindset shift from rumination to practical actionHow to break the cycle of avoidance, fear, and mental chaosIf you feel trapped in your head and exhausted by your own houghts, this episode will show you how to step out of the loop and take back control of your life.
