This episode is on overthinking, those patterns of automatic and often negative thoughts that drain our energy with mostly lies and what-ifs scenarios that never happen. I’ll discuss the differences between rumination and worry (those twin overthinking processes) and touch on automatic negative thoughts as well. Once we can define them and identify our unique patterns of overthinking, we are ready to utilize tools such as writing and affirmation meditation to help lessen their hold on us.

As examples, I explore my own little OCD tendencies and how they feed my overthinking and discuss how these patterns started in childhood. See if you can identify with these experiences, then join me in rewriting your future, and using mindfulness tools to calm the mind. Let’s overcome overthinking together!

Welcome to my reflections from the bright side of the beat.

Journal Prompts:
1) Is my overthinking about past failures or challenges more typical of rumination, or is it more likely to be about fear and anxiety for the future (like worry)?
2) Is there a pattern to my overthinking? What do I notice about this pattern? When and where it happens? People or activities that bring it on.
3) Make a list of 5 activities or hobbies that you could use as positive distractions from your overthinking. Pick 1 or 2 and write about how you could spend 30 minutes engaged in that activity when faced with worry or overthinking.
