Description

Do you ever get something stuck in your head and can’t stop thinking about it? When it’s something like a song, it might just feel a little annoying.But when it’s an unpleasant event that you keep rehashing or a catastrophic outcome that you keep imagining, overthinking will take a toll on your mental health.Thinking about negative things can cause you to feel bad. And the worse you feel, the more likely you are to keep dwelling on the negative. It’s a vicious cycle that can be hard to break.So in today’s Friday Fix, I’m sharing one of my favorite exercises from my therapy office that can help you stop overthinking. This quick exercise can help you stop ruminating, and it can improve your mental health.If you tend to replay conversations in your head over and over again or overthink an email to the point that it takes forever to hit send, this episode is for you.
