Ever had thoughts on a loop that seem out of your control? Struggled with fears or anxious thoughts popping into your head that send your mind spiralling? In this episode I break down how you can think about what you're thinking about - and no, it's not as confusing as it sounds!
It's called metacognition. The literal act of thinking about your thoughts. 
I give a few examples of how you can do this, and we briefly talk about how you can use this as a tool to stop obsessive thought patterns and become more self-aware, which will lead to a more positive life as you have healthier thought patterns.
