If you're an over-thinker, sometimes your brain can feel like it's filled with endless possibilities, and what-ifs, and worst-case scenarios.

I call it feeling "full".

And while overthinking isn't necessarily a bad thing (and sometimes a very necessary thing), when it results in you feeling frozen, and unable to make decisions . . . that's where it can be a problem.  And that's what we're delving into today.


Today we're covering:

  • how overthinking shows up
  • the difference between my partners brain and mine
  • my sister's take on overthinking, and strategies she's found useful

  • visualization exercise
