🧠 Overthinking? Here’s How to Dissolve It in Minutes
Let’s get real for a second:
Overthinking isn’t about “thinking too much.”
It’s about thinking in an unbalanced way.
You get stuck in the amygdala loop —
👉 Playing out worst-case scenarios (all drawbacks).
👉 Or fantasising about best-case daydreams (all benefits).
Either way, your mind keeps spinning because it hasn’t balanced the perception.
đź’ˇ The truth?
When you see both sides equally — benefits and drawbacks — the charge dissolves, your mind calms, and presence replaces the noise.
So here’s a simple Overthinking Dissolver Process you can use anytime your head’s running circles:
🔹 Step 1 – Spot It
Ask yourself:
“What exactly am I overthinking right now?”
“Am I stuck in a fear… or a fantasy?”
🔹 Step 2 – Balance It
If it feels all negative:
“What are the hidden benefits here?”
“How could this actually serve me?”
If it feels all positive:
“What are the drawbacks and responsibilities I’m not seeing?”
“Could this distract me from what matters most?”
🔹 Step 3 – Link It to Your Values
“How does this situation serve my highest priorities in life?”
“How is it guiding me closer to my mission?”
🔹 Step 4 – Anchor in Presence
“What’s the highest priority action I can take right now?”
“If I were fully present and certain, what would I do in this moment?”
⚡ Try it: next time you catch yourself spiraling, run through these 4 steps.
It takes 2–3 minutes and will bring you back into certainty, clarity, and presence.
