How To Stop Overthinking
Do you ever catch yourself replaying the same thought 100 times—like if you just analyze hard enough, you’ll finally figure it out? That’s overthinking—and today I’m going to show you how to quiet your mind so your intuition can finally come through.
We’re taught that thinking is the way to solve problems.
And sure—it works for math equations, work projects, even planning a vacation. But when it comes to problems of the heart, mind, or spirit? Thinking actually keeps us stuck.
Overthinking doesn’t give you clarity—it blocks it.If you want peace, you need practices that anchor you back into your body, where real wisdom lives.
Here are the three biggest myths I see when people try to stop overthinking
“I just need to think it through more.” Nope—the loop will never feel finished because the brain is looking for certainty it can’t give.
“If I stop thinking, I’ll miss the solution.” Actually, the solution usually shows up when you step away from the problem.
“My thoughts are the truth.” Most of the time, they’re just guesses, fears, or rehearsed worries—not facts.

One of my clients—we’ll call her Sarah—was spiraling about her job.
Should she stay? Should she quit? Should she move across the country?
She thought if she just analyzed harder, the right answer would pop up.
Instead, she felt paralyzed.
We tried a simple anchor: she closed her eyes, pictured a giant “analyzer knob” in her head, and turned it down a few notches.
The racing thoughts softened. Her body relaxed. And within minutes, she said:
“I don’t know the final answer yet, but I feel calmer—and that’s the first step.”
Here’s how you can use anchor practices to break the loop
Visualize an analyzer knob in your mind—and turn it down.
Step into your higher mind—a calm inner space—and ask your overthinking parts to rest.
Anchor into your body—feel your feet, breathe deeply, or place your hand on your heart.
The more you practice, the more you’ll learn that clarity doesn’t come from thinking harder—it comes from quieting the noise.’

Ready to Quiet Your Inner Critic?
Have you ever caught yourself thinking, ‘I’m not good enough,’ before you even tried?
That’s your inner critic—and today, I’m going to teach you how to turn down the volume on that voice so you can finally move forward.
We all have an inner voice that chimes in when we’re about to do something brave—start a project, say how we feel, set a boundary.
But for many of us, that voice isn’t supportive… it’s critical.
It says, “You’re too much”, “You’re not ready” or “You’ll probably fail.”
And when that becomes the default track playing in our head, it’s not just annoying—it becomes paralyzing.
So if you’re tired of being your own biggest obstacle, this is for you.
Let’s talk about the 3 biggest myths I see when people try to deal with their inner critic
They try to ignore it or "just think positive.”
But suppressing the voice doesn’t make it go away—it just makes it louder later.They believe it’s telling the truth.
"If I feel this insecure, it must mean I’m not ready or not enough.” Nope. That’s shame talking, not reality.They confuse their critic with their intuition.
Your gut might say, “That doesn’t feel aligned.”
But your critic says, “You’re not cut out for this.”
Huge difference.
Final Thoughts
Your inner critic is not your enemy.
It’s a protective part of you that’s trying—very clumsily—to keep you safe.
So instead of silencing it or obeying it, you can start by doing three things:
Name it.
Give it a character. “Oh, that’s Perfectionist Patty again.”
Talk to it, not from it.
Say: “Hey, I hear you. You’re scared. But I’ve got this.”
Practice self-leadership.
Step into the version of you who can hold that part with compassion and still take action.
This is how we stop the critic from running the show.
