Summary

Start Your Transformation Now You probably know what that is, right? And, more than anything, you probably know what it feels like. Not everyone over thinks but a large part of the population does and it brings a lot of grief for most. And, the good news…it’s not you doing it, it’s your brain and the better news is, you can break the habit, which we dig into in this episode.  So, I’m talking about overthinking in this week’s episode. And, before we go any further: Are you an overthinker? Let’s find out.  Quiz time. Do you: 1. Stay awake wondering what you’re going to do about _____?  2. Worry often about what’s going to happen financially?  3. Worry about what you’re going to say in social settings?  4. Second guess what you did and did you do it right?  5. Often obsess and think about what others think of you?  6. Obsess over what you said or did and how it could have been done differently?  7. Go over in your mind what you said and how it could be different or better or more or less? 8. Stay up till 4 AM worrying? Hard time falling asleep?  9. Often weigh the pros and cons of a decision?  Well, my friend, if you answered yes to at least half of these questions then you’re an over-thinker, and trust me, I know how taxing that can be because I am a recovered over-thinker.  In this episode, I dive into what causes overthinking and how your brain is really what keeps your mind trapped in the habit of overthinking. And, finally, I share a short process to help you break out of the habit of overthinking and to start new habits of thinking.  Transformational Takeaway: You are where your attention is.
