The Overthinker's Guide to Joy with Jackie de Crinis | Learning to Reframe Your Negative Thoughts

Ep #26: Learning to Reframe Your Negative Thoughts

March 2, 2022

What are the thoughts that keep you up at night? As overthinkers, getting wrapped up in our thoughts happens all too easily, especially when it comes to what can go wrong. And sure, anticipating different scenarios can make us feel more prepared on some level, but it’s also a time suck and a brain-drainer.

While we can’t prevent our thoughts, and I’d never ask you to ignore them; learning to manage our mind and taming the thoughts that don’t serve us in a productive way will bring so much more joy to your life. So, tune in this week because I’m showing you how to reframe your negative thoughts, and use your brainpower in a way that fuels instead of drains.

If you feel like you’re trapped in a negative thought loop, worrying, ruminating, and panicking, this is the episode for you. I’m discussing why reframing your thoughts is an important part of self-care and experiencing more joy in your life, how to see where your negative thoughts are impacting your long-term happiness, and how to begin the work of reframing them.
