“I can’t seem to quiet my mind.”
When your thoughts won’t slow down, relieve and rest can feel out of reach. If you’ve ever thought these things, you’re not alone. Overthinking often sounds like this…
“ I’m exhausted. . .my head hurts..but my brain won’t turn off. ”
“ What if I make the wrong decision.”
You replay conversations long after they’ve ended.
You think through every posible outcome before making a decision.
You may struggle to relax because your mind keeps convincing you that there is one more thing to figure out.
A different way to look at it…
Overthinking is often your mind’s way of trying to keep you safe. It tries to protect you from making the wrong decision, getting hurt, or losing control.
The problem is that protection can become paralysis.
