Overthinking

How far does a hamster get when running in an exercise wheel? Now imagine forcing it to keep going without a break. Exhausting, right? That’s exactly what happens to your brain when you overthink.

We often try to predict the future or guess what others are thinking:
"Will I be fired? Is my partner losing interest? Did I say something wrong? Will I mess up my presentation?"
In search of certainty, we replay the same thoughts over and over, desperately looking for answers that simply don’t exist yet. The reality? We only know the past and present, not the future. And despite our best efforts, most of us haven’t mastered mind reading.

Sending your brain on this endless quest drains your energy, leaving you feeling mentally exhausted and no closer to a solution.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers powerful techniques to help you break free from the cycle of overthinking. By learning to slow down your thought process and focus on what you do know, you can stop the mental hamster wheel, finally giving your mind the break it deserves.
