The Overthinking Season

Do you ever feel like your mind won’t stop running — replaying conversations, rechecking plans, or over-analyzing decisions?

That invisible hum of overthinking can quietly drain your energy. Studies show that repetitive thought patterns — what psychologists call rumination — keep the brain’s stress circuits activated long after a stressor has passed, leading to fatigue and disrupted sleep.

Instead of trying to “stop thinking,” focus on calming the body so the mind can follow.

🌱 Quick resets that help:

• Step outside for 15 minutes — movement helps reset your brain’s stress cycle.
• Give your mind boundaries — set aside “thinking time” instead of letting worries run all day.
• Simplify small choices — routines conserve mental energy.
• Small shifts can help you feel lighter, calmer, and more in control this season.
