Overthinking - How to Stop It Through Journaling

About this episode

This episode discusses how journaling can help stop overthinking and bring clarity to one's thoughts.

On this episode of The Journaling Guy Podcast (Season 3, Episode 8), I'm talking about Overthinking ! We've all been guilty of it, letting thoughts loop around and around our minds. Yo go over it. Turn it around and around and looked at it from every angle - but still, nothing is clear! Journaling has a lovely way of bringing clarity to our thoughts! Your Journaling Prompt for This Week is this: “Breaking the Loop” What exactly am I thinking about right now? What decision or outcome am I trying to control? What do I actually know for certain? What is one small next step I can take? If I couldn’t think about this anymore today… what would I do? ------------------ Please get in touch with any questions and of course, your feedback too. Email - hello@thejournalingguy.com If you enjoyed this episode, please share it with someone who might need a bit of space to think. Plus, please leave me a review, they matter so much for getting the podcast heard and seen. Always remember... "keep writing, keep noticing, and keep showing up for yourself", Matt.
