What Your Overthinking Is Really Trying to Tell You - Alan Watts


Listen Later

Overthinking is not a flaw to eliminate, but a signal asking to be understood. We explore why the mind keeps racing and what it is truly trying to communicate beneath the noise.

Rather than fighting your thoughts or trying to silence them, this episode invites you to listen more deeply. Overthinking often arises when something in your life is misaligned, unexamined, or calling for honest attention. The mind continues looping not to punish you, but to point you toward insight, clarity, and change.

Through the perspective of Alan Watts, you’ll discover how awareness dissolves mental struggle, why resisting thought only strengthens it, and how understanding the message behind overthinking can restore calm and inner balance.
