Overthinking is destructive and mentally draining.
You can often feel stuck, lonely and frustrated when you're going through every little detail of things in your mind.

Get curious about your overthinking! Ask yourself if this line of thought can help or benefit you. Then, without criticism or judgment, turn your attention to the present moment. Think of your breath or the sights and sounds around you to draw you out of this pattern.

Making observations with your other senses can eliminate the distractions of visual input and allow you to focus and be present in the moment.

This technique can be used in the busiest places. Give it a try while you're waiting for a friend in a restaurant, or for an appointment to begin.

Everything you’ve been preparing for is already enough. The table doesn’t have to be perfect, and neither do you. Take a breath, soak in the lights and sounds, and remember that the real magic happens in the quiet moments in between.
