One simple tool to break the loop and choose one clear next step.
Have you ever noticed your mind repeating the same thought over and over again?
Not twenty different thoughts. One thought. One sentence. One fear. One possibility. One thing someone said. One decision you cannot seem to stop turning over in your mind.
In this episode of What Future Are You Willing To Wake Up To?™, Becky Vannes talks about what to do when you can’t stop overthinking. She shares how overthinking often feels like problem-solving, but sometimes it is really fear on repeat.
You’ll learn a simple practice Becky calls The One Sentence Practice:
Write down the exact thought your mind keeps repeating.
Ask, “Is this actually true, or is this a fear my mind keeps repeating?”
Ask, “What do I know for sure right now?”
Choose one small next step.
This episode is for the moment when your mind feels loud, your body feels tense, and you’re tired of trying to figure everything out at once.
You do not need to solve your whole life today.
You only need to find the one sentence, question it, and choose one small next step.
In this episode, Becky explores:
Why overthinking is often one thought repeating, not “too many thoughts”
How fear can disguise itself as problem-solving
Why familiar thoughts can feel true even when they may not be true right now
How to interrupt the mental loop without forcing yourself to “just stop thinking”
The difference between reacting to an old story and noticing what is actually happening now
A simple tool you can use when your mind keeps going in circles
Memorable lines from the episode:
“Sometimes overthinking feels like problem-solving, but it is really fear on repeat.”
“A thought can feel true because it is familiar, not because it is true right now.”
“You do not need to solve your whole life. You need to interrupt the loop long enough to choose one next step.”
Try this today: The One Sentence Practice
When you notice yourself overthinking, write down the exact sentence your mind keeps repeating.
“Is this actually true, or is this a fear my mind keeps repeating?”
“What do I know for sure right now?”
“What is one small next step I can choose?”
