The Science Behind Extreme Focus. Stop Anxiety, Overthinking, and Endless Distractions.

By: Shafira Pauley

Narrated by: Soft tone Studious

Master Extreme Focus, Shut Down Anxiety, and Escape the Endless Loop of Overthinking — for Good

Tired of reacting to everything around you emotionally, mentally, and impulsively?

Do you constantly overthink, lose focus, or spiral into anxiety when things don’t go as planned?

Are distractions draining your energy and stealing your ability to think clearly or make confident decisions?

There was a time when life felt like one long chain reaction — one unexpected message, one harsh comment, one setback, and I’d mentally collapse. I was constantly triggered, overstimulated, and overwhelmed. I couldn’t think straight, let alone make thoughtful decisions or stay calm under pressure.

I thought I was broken. Turns out, I was just reactive and there’s a science behind it.

Stop Reacting uncovers what’s really happening in your brain when you feel triggered, hijacked by emotion, or lost in endless mental loops. This isn’t fluff. This is science-backed, strategy-driven, and designed for the real world.

You’ll learn how to build a reaction-proof mind, train your brain to pause instead of panic, and take back control of your life.

Still wondering if you can actually stop reacting? Let’s be real — this isn’t about becoming some Zen master who never gets upset. It’s about building emotional flexibility, calming your biology, and making space between trigger and response. It’s about reclaiming your power in a world that constantly pulls it away.

You don’t need another motivational quote. You need a system, and this is it.

The exercises for sharpening focus and mental resilience have become things I implement regularly now - when I get triggers - a sharp email, or when social media pulls me off balance.

Helpful and thoughtful

Stop Reacting is a thoughtful guide to breaking free from automatic responses and living with more clarity and intention. Shakira Pauley combines psychology, mindfulness, and practical exercises to help the listener understand emotional triggers, overthinking, and the distractions of modern life.
I especially appreciated the emphasis on building stillness and focus in everyday situations, as well as learning to trust oneself to respond calmly rather than impulsively. While some parts repeat ideas familiar from other self-help books, the structure and clear narration make this one especially easy to follow and apply.
A solid, practical audiobook for anyone seeking more balance and control in a noisy world.
