When your brain won’t stop overthinking
A friendly way to notice looping thoughts and return to one small thing you can do now.
Overthinking can feel like your brain is trying to keep you safe by checking every possible outcome.
Come back to now
A thought is not a fact, and you do not have to solve every possibility tonight. Write the worry in one sentence, then add: “Right now, I can…” Choose one small action. If there is no useful action, give the thought a later time and return to what is in front of you.
