Overthinking can feel like a never-ending cycle of worry and doubt, but it doesn’t have to control your life.

Remind yourself that you are in charge.

Step 1: Acknowledge your thoughts
Recognize Overthinking: The first step is to be aware that you’re overthinking. Pay attention to your thoughts and notice when they start to spiral.

Step 2: Remind yourself
Take control: After acknowledging overthinking, snap your fingers to remind yourself and signal your brain that you are in charge.

Step 3: Pay attention
Anchor into the present moment: Deliberately look around and describe what you see and what you hear. Put your hand on your heart and feel your heartbeat.

Step 4: Practice Mindfulness
Stay Present: Focus on the here and now. Short meditation, deep breathing exercises, and mindful activities like yoga can help ground you in the present moment. You can also take your shoes off and then walk on grass, sand, or dirt. Feel and connect with nature.

Step 5: Challenge Negative Thoughts
Ask Yourself: Is this thought helpful? Is it based on facts or assumptions? Challenging your thoughts can help you see things more clearly.

Step 6: Take Action
Do Something About It: If a worry can be addressed, take steps to solve it. Action reduces anxiety and gives you more of a sense of control.

Step 7: Reframe Your Thoughts
Think Positively: Replace negative, unproductive thoughts with positive affirmations. Remind yourself of your strengths and past successes.

Remember, breaking the cycle of overthinking takes time and practice. Be patient with yourself and celebrate small victories along the way.

If you need more help overcoming overthinking, stay tuned for an upcoming course.

When was the last time you traveled? This weekend retreat was just what I needed to rest and rejuvenate.

Traveling not only takes us on outward journeys but inward journeys as well.

It opens new perspectives, introduces us to diverse cultures, and helps us step out of our comfort zones. It’s not just about seeing new places—it’s about experiencing life differently, stepping out of our routines, heightening our senses, and discovering more about ourselves.

Every journey, whether near or far, teaches us resilience, adaptability, and the beauty of the present moment. It offers a chance to reset, reflect, and reconnect with our true selves.
Remember, travel doesn’t have to be grand or exotic. Even exploring a new neighborhood or city can bring fresh insights and inspiration.

And we know inspiration fuels life because it ignites our passions and motivates us. If you feel stuck, consider taking yourself someplace that awakens your energy and creativity.
