How much energy does it take to sit and overthink. What does it even mean to overthink!
Do you find that once you start the process, the story that you’re telling yourself grows stronger and in fact often becomes more embellished.
Your brain then believes that the thing is terribly important so it refuses to let it go, maybe turning on that cortisol tap keeping you attached.
The thing of course might be important, however we do know that it’s what we constantly tell ourselves the brain has to react to.
So gently reframe those thoughts, what would you be doing differently if you spent a little more time reflecting on what your good at, what went well yesterday, what did you deal with well, it might take a bit of an effort but your brain knows the other way really well so train it and keep training it. I know it sounds too easy but trust in the process and of course the science, repetition is key, small steps.
Overthinking can prevent you from doing the thing you deserve to do.
We are so fortunate to have the mechanism to retrain ourselves
whatever age we are.
