How do you know when you're overthinking too much?
How can you break the cycle of overthinking?
Today, Jay will talk about the complexity of overthinking and how we can turn it around and look at things differently. Jay presents seven practical strategies to help listeners combat the grip of overthinking. These range from the psychological—to limit how many people's opinions we seek, preventing the confusion and indecision that too many perspectives can cause—to the physical, recommending activities that disengage the analytical brain and encourage mental reset, like exercise or simply moving around.
In this episode, you'll learn:
How to use over thinking for problem-solving
How to manage alarmed responses
How to use physical movement for mental clarity
How to focus on positives and small wins
Don't let overthinking hold you back! Start implementing these strategies today and take control of your mental space.
With Love and Gratitude,
Jay Shetty
