about the strategy to help you get yourself out of your anxious thinking

whenever you find yourself ruminating or stuck in a loop of anxious thoughts.

This is a strategy that I've used with many of my clients.

And in fact, the reason why I'm talking about today is because it's a strategy I literally

had to use for myself last night.

So last night around 3.3.30-ish, my wife woke up.

She went to the bathroom. When she went to the bathroom, she accidentally woke me up.

And I could not fall back asleep. I had one thought and then another thought, another thought, another

thought, another thought, another thought. And I had all these thoughts. And, you know, a lot of them are

business. And once I get into business, I start thinking about, oh, my gosh, we got to do this. And, you know, a lot of them are business. And once I get into business, I start

think about, oh, my gosh, we got to do this. And this thing's coming up. And I started thinking

about other stuff. And so, you know, even though I am the mindset mentor, there's no way I'll

ever get rid of anxious thoughts popping up or stressful thoughts popping up at some point in time. And to be honest with you, I was up for about an hour

and a half last night, just sitting in my bed. And then I was like, it's not work. And my brain just is

not turning off. I don't know if you've ever been in that situation before where you're like,

how in the hell can I get my brain to turn off? Because they had so many thoughts. And what's interesting about humans is that when we have a thought, that thought is like

spread out.

It's like a mind map when you have just like one thought and then it spreads out.

There's all these other thoughts that could possibly come up.

And so one thought turns into another, turns into another.
