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 |

Exhaustion isn’t weakness.It's a message.Your mind can ignore it.Your calendar can override it. But your body will always tell the truth. At first it whispers: fatigue, tension, headaches.Then it gets louder: insomnia, burnout, illness. And if you still don’t listen, it will scream. Because your body doesn’t care about your deadlines. It doesn’t care about your image.It doesn’t care about who you think you need to be. It cares about survival. For Sensitive High Achievers, this is the hardest...
I grew up believing that most of what I felt was down to other people. My Dad “made me feel insecure”. My boss “made me anxious”. That pushy salesperson “made me uncomfortable”. It’s such a normal way of talking that I never even questioned it. But here’s an uncomfortable truth: no one can make you feel anything. Not your boss. Not your partner. Not your parents. Every single feeling you experience is filtered through your own perspective. Through the meaning you assign to what happened....
