Let’s talk about overthinking! Do you think or replay scenarios in your mind where your thoughts end up being so intrusive that you can’t shut them out? Overthinking can be linked to anxiety and depression. It can also contribute to PTSD and eating disorders!    What causes overthinking? It happens when you can’t stop thinking about an experience or when you just fixate on a feeling. If we overthink, our thoughts end up becoming our reality, and this negative cycle can perpetuate itself. When this happens, we have to check in with ourselves and try to understand what we’re feeling.    How often are we saying these things to ourselves? Let’s take a moment of reflection to really breathe. Despite your overthinking brain going miles per hour, there are effective strategies to help calm your mind. Meditation can really help bring us to the present moment and get us centered and grounded again.    With any strategy, the first time you try it, your brain will try to overpower you, but with grace, patience, and practice, you can lessen these intrusive thoughts and start being more present. Be kind to yourself.    Continue Your Growth Journey: Kaminiwood.com
