The Make Your Brain Work Podcast - Episode 5 - How to Stop Overthinking: Practical Tips to Calm Your Mind and Find Focus

“Overthinking: harmless habit or hidden thief?”
We all do it—but what’s the real cost of overthinking? Is it just a bit of harmless daydreaming, or is it quietly draining your energy, disturbing your sleep, and affecting your wellbeing? In this episode, we’re taking a deeper look at overthinking—not just as a common habit, but as a mental loop that can stop us from making decisions, staying present, and finding clarity.

We’ll peel back the layers—from what’s actually happening in the brain during those spirals, to the evidence-based strategies that can help break the cycle. We’re answering the questions so many of us have asked: Why does my mind race at night? Why do I get stuck in loops of worry or regret? And are there really proven ways to find calm in the moment?

Join us as we explore the latest research, share real-life stories, and offer practical tools you can start using straight away—to regain focus, feel more in control, and reclaim your peace of mind.
