Summary

In today's episode of the Anxiety Coaches Podcast, I delve into the topic of avoiding anxious overthinking. I discuss the impact of overwhelming thoughts and how it can feel like being stuck like a hamster on a wheel, with thoughts going round and round. I explore the importance of living in the present moment and not ruminating on past mistakes or worrying about the future. By letting go of regrets and practicing forgiveness, we can free ourselves from the burden of overthinking and negative self-talk.

I address the common experience of social anxiety and provide strategies for easing anxiety in social situations. By being curious about our fears, staying present, and practicing self-compassion, we can navigate social interactions with more ease. Additionally, I emphasize the importance of self-love and building a strong relationship with oneself to overcome irrational fears and open up to new experiences.

Ultimately, by taking control of our thoughts, visualizations, and actions, we can break free from negative thinking patterns and cultivate a more positive and fulfilling life. Remember, you are capable of handling any experience that comes your way, and self-compassion is key to growth and resilience. Stay well, and until next time, aloha.
