Your mind isn’t the problem. The loop is.

You replay conversations long after they’ve ended. You second-guess decisions you’ve already made. You lie awake at 2am running through what might happen tomorrow. The harder you try to think your way out, the deeper you seem to go.

The Loop Test offers a practical way to recognise when useful thinking has turned into overthinking — and shows you how to step out of the cycle.

At the heart of the book is one simple question:

Am I moving, or am I looping?

Inside, you’ll learn how to:

• Recognise the difference between productive thinking and mental looping

• Understand the four stages of an overthinking loop: Snag, Grab, Churn and False Payoff

• Stop replaying past conversations and mistakes

• Handle future-focused worry and endless “what if?” thinking

• Make decisions without constantly reopening them

• Calm the 2am spiral when your mind won’t switch off

• Reduce reassurance-seeking and repetitive checking

• Build a personalised set of Loop Breakers

• Follow a practical four-week plan to strengthen the skills

• Know when overthinking may need professional support

This isn’t a promise of a permanently silent mind. It’s a practical system for recognising when your thinking has stopped helping — and learning how to return your attention to the life happening in front of you.

Thinking moves. Overthinking loops. Take The Loop Test and learn the difference.
