The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | How Curiosity Reduces Anxiety

Ep #11: How Curiosity Reduces Anxiety

When it comes to action-oriented people, overthinkers, and overdoers, we want to know the how-to, which makes sense. We were raised to believe there is a formula for everything. We were encouraged to see the right and wrong in every situation. And this worked throughout school and our early life.  However, as we get older,…

The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Forgiveness is Freedom

Ep #10: Forgiveness is Freedom

When my clients come to me, a lot of them are struggling with the aftermath of toxic friendships, relationships, and old wounds.

Ep #9: The Power of Gratitude

As you probably know by now, I believe that good habits are the foundational work to creating a more successful, happy, healthy life. But the truth is that bad habits are simply easier.

Ep #7: The Power of Routine

Your physical, mental, and emotional health depend heavily on routine and regularity, particularly if you’re an overthinker. It helps take the guesswork out of what you should be doing next and how your day will look as a whole. A routine is a great way of canceling out all of the noise around what you…

The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | The Power of The Pause

Ep #6: The Power of The Pause

As a classic overthinker, I have a confession to make: I am still struggling to master the art of doing nothing. As you all know from previous episodes, I am a daily meditator. However, outside of meditation – which I don’t really consider to be doing nothing – taking a pause and truly doing nothing…

The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | The Power of Journaling

Ep #5: The Power of Journaling

I’m expanding on the essential daily habits I discussed over the first four episodes of this podcast and introducing you to another: Journaling. This is one of my favorite ways to manage my overthinking brain, and it’s a hack I recommend to almost every one of my clients. It’s interesting how often people push back…
