My top 5 tips to STOP overthinking
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

If you could win a gold medal in the overthinking Olympics,
this post is for you.

I've been there, done that.
Its completely exhausting isn't it?

I'm now a recovering overthinker and its so freeing.

Here are my 5 top tips
-

💙 1 ) Know that you are not your thoughts.
Know that they are separate and temporary to you.

We often view our thoughts as simply reporting facts...
when in reality, thoughts are just thoughts, not facts.

They're not always true
They're definitely not always helpful.

The analogy that works for me is
I am the blue sky - always there, cant be damaged
My thoughts and feelings are the weather. Temporary, separate to me.
⛅️

💙 2) Know that thinking worrying thoughts are absolutely normal for us human.
Its what our brains do in order to try to keep us safe and out of danger.

We can let go of any guilt and shame about this.

Its just what human brains do.
🧠
-

💙 3) Stop rationalising, reasoning and fighting with your thoughts. That only gives them MORE energy.

Instead, you can let the thoughts be there
** What a concept!
Without taking them personally or seriously.

This takes practice and perseverance, but trust me, its sooooo worth it.
💪

💙 4 ) Know that overthinking is unproductive.
We can often kid ourselves that ruminating on a problem is contributing to the solution, but I disagree.

Yes, by all means, get the pro's and cons down on paper
Make a plan

But do it ONCE.
📔
-

💙 5 ) Use some present moment / grounding techniques to get you out of your head and back into the NOW.

* Take a few nice, slow, deep breaths
* Practice the 5 senses technique (my fav)
* Move your body in a way you enjoy.
-

We discuss all of this and SO MUCH MORE in the MINDFULNESS MASTER-CLASS.

A 90 minute video crash course - teaching you how mindfulness can take you from overthinker to calm, confident and clear.

Once upon a time actively working on your physical

Once upon a time actively working on your physical fitness was considered strange and not necessary.

Back in the 60’s if you went running in the park, people would have wondered who or what you were running from.
😯

Over time, we learnt that physical health and fitness doesn’t simply take care of itself, it needs to be worked on and maintained regularly.
💪💪💪

These days you see multiple gyms and group fitness classes in every suburb.
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I think we are at a tipping point where the same thing will happen in regards to looking after our mental health.

We are starting to realize that it doesn’t just look after itself.

Left unattended we can naturally veer towards excessive thinking , negative thoughts and self talk , depression, anxiety and stress.
😔

We need to actively work on our mental health to keep our minds fit and healthy . 🧠

Just 5 minutes here and there.

It doesn’t have to mean meditating for hours.
⏰

I look forward to the day when mindfulness classes like mine are found in every suburb.
I believe the world will be a much better place .
😊😊

Just like daily showering to keep clean.

Procrastination is fear of uncomfortable feelings.

Procrastination is fear of uncomfortable feelings.

Note to self - -
When I get better at feeling uncomfortable,
I get better at everything.
💙💜💙

I had a shit of a day yesterday. Nothing I can’

I had a shit of a day yesterday.
Nothing I can’t handle,
but crappy nonetheless.
-
🙁
➖➖

There was a time when I had the expectation that life should be all happy and positive.
🦄 🌈

Back then, if I’d gone through a shitty day, I would have worried that something was very wrong.

My false expectation of life would have made everything feel worse and last way longer than needed.

➖

Now I know life is MEANT to be 50 / 50 .
50 % positive and 50 % negative

I now view my crappy days as normal.
Just part of the ride.
🙌👌👍

Life is 50 / 50
Expectations matter

Let what needs to come, come
Let what needs to go, go

🥰

Oh and I need to add..
When I really think about it, there were good things that happened yesterday too.

Shitty AND awesome

AND not OR
👌

My Mindfulness journey
Expectation
Vs
Reality
💙💙💙
➖

EXPECTATION...

All of my negative thinking would be gone.

I’d have a clear, joyous mind full of unicorns and rainbows .
🦄 🌈

➖➖

REALITY...

The thoughts are still there.
🤔
But...
I’ve realised the thoughts were never the problem.

In actual fact, trying to get rid of them was making them worse.

Now I allow the thoughts to be there, but don’t take them seriously or personally.
🌈🦄💜🦄🌈🤷🏻‍♀️

It’s as freeing as unicorns and rainbows.
💜💙💜

Ps - the next live and local Moorebank Mindfulness term starts soon
