In this episode I discuss the double-edged sword that is overthinking. As humans we are hardwired to perceive danger and prepare for it. But in these modern times of luxury and civility, overthinking becomes less of a safety mechanism and more a self-saboteur. I address how critiquing overthinking can feel ironic to overachieving women: their excessive planning, calculating, creating contingency plans and preparing for the unpreparable, is the very thing that earned them their achievements. But somewhere along this road, overthinking inevitably turns into insecurity, intrusive thoughts and self-doubt. I detail how to avoid this by keeping your mind in check through delineating facts from stories we tell ourselves. I illustrate the importance of quiet as a way of slowing down the mind which allows it to process your feelings unburdened by overthinking, and I leave you with a potent tool to help you override your brain’s default mode, in order to ‘think on purpose’.
