Overthinking can feel like you’re trying to solve something.
Going over it, analysing it, trying to land on the right answer so the feeling settles.
Most of the time it’s not a thinking problem.
It’s your body holding onto something that doesn’t feel right yet.
That’s where anxiety kicks in.
The nervous system is activated and the mind jumps in to try and control it.
So you end up overthinking… instead of actually feeling what’s there.
That’s why you can’t resolve it.
You can’t think your way out of a feeling.
