Ever catch yourself spiraling into the black hole of “What ifs” and “Maybe I should’ve said…”? Welcome to the Overthinkers Club — population: a lot. When your brain starts sounding like a committee of squirrels arguing over acorns, it’s probably time to press pause. Seriously, stepping away from the mental chaos for even a few minutes can feel like hitting the refresh button on your soul.
Think of your brain like a snow globe. Every worry and thought you shake up just clouds the view. But when you set it down? Everything settles. Clarity comes in, and suddenly that thing you were panicking about doesn't seem so catastrophic. A quick walk, a stretch, a silly dance to your favorite song, or even just staring at a tree like it's telling you secrets — all great ways to reset.
So next time you’re tangled in thought spaghetti, don’t force yourself to untangle it all right away. Take a breath, laugh at something ridiculous, or make a snack so good it distracts your whole existence. Overthinking can't survive in the face of joy, snacks, or spontaneous dance parties.
