• Stop overthinking

      Sometimes we spiral so far out of control that we forget what we were even spiralling about in the first place.

      We get caught up in the story our mind creates — replaying it, reshaping it, adding layers that were never even there — just to feel safe, protected, or at ease.

      But the truth is… the spiral is just your mind trying to protect you.

      It’s your nervous system doing its best to find control in the chaos.

      If we could just slow down…

      Pause before adding another storyline…

      And ask ourselves why we’re overthinking in the first place —

      We’d see that it’s not about the story at all.

      It’s about safety.

      It’s about regulation.

      It’s about learning to move through instead of getting lost in the spin.

      Because the moment you stop feeding the story, you stop losing yourself in it —

      and that’s where you finally find peace again.
