About this episode

Jessica Hottle discusses how to manage intrusive thoughts during quiet moments without spiraling into negativity.

I want to start today with something that might feel uncomfortably familiar - you finally get a quiet moment, and almost immediately, your thoughts show up. Something you replay from earlier and before you realize it, your body feels tense, and your mind is off and running. If quiet moments tend to make your thoughts louder instead of calmer, if stillness feels more stressful than restful, or if you usually reach for noise, distraction, or productivity to avoid what might come up, this episode is for you. Because the issue isn’t that you can’t be still, it’s that no one ever showed you how to stay present without getting pulled into the spiral.
