Why do I make things so complicated?! Have you ever asked yourself this question? Or maybe: How to stop overanalyzing everything? How do I calm my thoughts down? How can I stop overthinking? How do I manage my thoughts?! I want to think less!  

First of all, you are not alone. Overthinking, overanalyzing, and overcomplicating are common among my clients as a life coach for professional women. But what happens when my clients try to answer the question of how to stop overthinking everything you do? Oftentimes, it leads to more overanalyzing.  

Whether you’re trying to figure out how to stop overthinking relationships, how to stop overthinking things at work, or would love some overthinking tips so you can finally get sleep in peace… I’ve got you!  

As a life coach and positive psychology scholar, learning how to manage my thoughts is a fun pastime - & as an imperfect human, I, too, have struggled with overthinking, overanalyzing and overcomplicating. Today, I’m sharing the TRUTH about what you need to do to stop your racing thoughts and get on with your life.

Stop your mind from spinning! Have you ever thought, “I have too many thoughts going through my brain!” You’d do anything to stop your mind from overthinking, stop your mind from racing, & unscatter your mind…  

If you’ve had too many thoughts you can’t sleep, or too many thoughts you can’t focus your mind on what you want, I have one easy & FUN exercise to organize your mind chatter and make a clear decision.

From one perspective, you may refer to this activity as mental clarity journaling or a journal to clear your mind - but this is far more entertaining than writing words on a page. This activity invites you to journal for focus by considering what CHARACTERS live inside your head.  Before you think, “Marin, that’s far too weird…” - let me assure you, this is easily one of my coaching clients’ favorite activities.   

By creating caricatures of the voices inside your head, you will feel excited to journal to organize your thoughts; you will journal to unscatter not only for a clear mind and to make a well-informed decision - but to find compassion & laughter with your wonderful self.

What happens when you follow your heart? The reality of achieving your dreams looks different than I predicted it would. Younger me had no idea what to expect when you pursue your dreams - & more specifically, what to expect when you quit your job in pursuit of said dreams.   

If I could travel back in time to give advice to my younger self, I’d share what I wish I’d known before quitting. I’d share what happens when you follow your heart… what to expect when you pursue your dreams...    

Younger me believed the reality of following your heart was happiness & bliss. It turns out true life change includes another important component - something no one warned me about.  

I cannot travel back in time. Thus, I provide you with the motivation & life coach advice I wish I’d had.

Is life coaching worth it? This life coach reacts video is a response to “why life coaching is a scam” - a short clip published by “Get The Picture?” Get the Picture’s video shares a life coach review that is, well... not all positive. The video talks poorly of the coaching industry and bashes Tony Robbin's life coaching in the process.  

I film this reaction video to provide another perspective about what life coaching is - & what life coaching is not.   

As a life coach myself, I am biased in my own right. I have experienced expansive success working with a life coach to foster true life change personally & professionally - & I witness life-changing transformation with my clients every single day. (Hear their stories in my testimonials playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMK3v-cazXqUxpYck9yt9ZlUMuD-NhDk4)   

Within this work as a life coach for professional women, one of my cornerstone beliefs is that, ultimately, only YOU know what is best for you. Thus, as you watch today’s weekly spark, I encourage you to feel for your own truth: Should I get a life coach? Is it a scam, or is it absolutely worth it?
