Previous Episode: 121: Over Overthinking: The Effects in Communication
This podcast continues the discussion on overthinking and introduces using targeted questions to change engrained thought patterns. I suggest asking if the issue is within your control, if you're relying on facts versus emotions, if it’s a recurring unproductive thought, and if the rumination aligns with your values. This self-questioning can disrupt negative cycles, reduce anxiety, and quiet mental chatter. I encourage listeners to implement “yes or no” self-questioning to gather insights on mental habits and create space for mindfulness.
