Two Words That Can Stop Overthinking in Its Tracks


Listen Later

By the end of today's episode - you're hopefully going to feel more grounded, present and friggin CALMER.

We’re following up on last week’s episode about the three words to consider for a simpler, calmer 2025 (thank you for all your shares and feedback!).

Today, we’re keeping things straightforward with two simple words that might just help ease anxiety, stop spiraling thoughts, and bring you back to center.

We always hear about “living in the present,” but fair to say that's easier said than done -especially if you’re someone who gets stuck in endless what-ifs or feels overwhelmed by a mile-long to-do list . . 

These two words (and the placement hack I'll share) -  and a small shift in how you say them, might be the mental reset you need.

We’re Covering:

  • The power of the words “right now” to anchor your brain in the present
  • How flipping the order of these words creates a calming “period” for racing thoughts
  • my theory as to why this works when it comes to the brain 
  • A practical way to use this trick if you struggle with overthinking or feeling frozen by anxiety
  • Why small language shifts can have big emotional payoffs
  • A listener's fell good thing

If You’ve Been Feeling:

  • Stuck in your thoughts
  • Overwhelmed by everything you “should” be doing
  • Anxious about the future or frozen by a daunting to-do list

This episode is here to remind you.
