It feels like, hey, just take a few minutes, pass an object between your hands. It can provide a much needed sense of relief and control.” ~Dr. Lisa Hartwell

What does overthinking have to do with it when your head hits the pillow and you’re so exhausted from the day because you had a great, but hard working day? What happens in those quiet hours before you go to sleep, when it’s time to turn it off but your brain says, “nope…I’ve got your attention now, it’s time to be thinking about things”

Aloha and welcome,

Ever lie awake at night with thoughts racing through your mind? It’s not uncommon, especially after a long, challenging day. But what if overthinking isn’t the villain we’ve often branded it to be?

In this episode of Anxiety Ease, we’ll dive into the often-misunderstood phenomenon of overthinking, especially in moments of quiet at night.

While commonly viewed as a drawback, overthinking could actually harbor unexpected benefits for those with high functioning anxiety.

Enjoy listening to this intriguing idea!

“If you can just take five minutes to do any of these practices, this is the key to maintaining a baseline that keeps you in this calm state and you’re actually working that mental muscle, that brain muscle, that blood flow that you’re using while concentrating".

"This allows you to relax and rewire a sense of calm. And that is the antidote to anxiety.”
