The Overthinker's Guide to Joy | The Power of Your Thoughts

Ep #48: The Power of Your Thoughts

August 3, 2022

Summer is starting to quieten down, and while I appreciate the time for decompression, it’s interesting that I have a tendency to overthink when things get quiet. I’m sure you can relate. When we’re crazy busy, everything seems more normal, and we think we operate at our best when we’re juggling a lot of balls.

This has been a lesson for me in leaning into and embracing the quieter moments, and to not go looking for things to fix. I know so many of us are in survival mode, and when things die down, we’re left overanalyzing, worrying that this is just the calm before the storm. However, the secret to fixing this pattern and taking back control of your life.

Tune in this week to discover why peace, tranquility, and calm might be making you uncomfortable. I’m sharing how your irrational or negative thoughts have gotten ahold of you, leading to unintended results, and I’m showing you the power of choosing thoughts that will serve you instead.
