overthinking

The title of this email is misleading. Because you don’t need to control overthinking. Overthinking IS a form of control. And you need control because: Deep down, you don’t trust yourself. You don’t trust that you can handle the big, uncomfortable feelings that might show up if things go wrong. So, what do you do? But here’s the thing: You don’t need more plans. What you actually need is: To know that YOU’ll be there for YOU regardless of what happens. That YOU will have your own back if things go wrong. Overthinking doesn’t prevent bad things from happening. It just drains your energy. What if, instead, you decided to trust yourself? Trust that no matter what happens, you’ll figure it out. Because you’ve always figured it out. And connecting to that the feeling of trust is the only way to stop your overthinking. Because overthinking can’t be solved with more thinking. It’s solved with the deeper knowing that you’ll be able to handle whatever comes your way. Much love, PS: What I’m reading: The Boys in the Boat - Daniel James Brown |

A powerful (but confronting) question I often ask my clients is this one: If absolutely no one could judge you, how differently would you live your life? The answers often involve: -Less Overthinking -Quitting unfulfilling jobs -Following passions -More self-confidence -More Freedom etc. The fear of people’s judgement often prevents us from living the life we truly want to live. And although it’s hardwired into us for survival… It’s possible to minimise the power it has over us. Here are 3...
It’s something you might do without noticing. Something that slowly chips away at your self-confidence. Something that destroys your integrity and self-worth. It’s a silent but deadly enemy called: Breaking promises to yourself. Sound familiar? “I’ll get back to you on Friday” “Next year I’m going to start a business” “Tomorrow morning I’m going to the gym” Every time you say you’ll do something and you don’t: You slowly erode the relationship between you and your word. You slowly deteriorate...
