Sunday Scaries? How to Stop Overthinking the Week Ahead

Sunday scaries creeping in? This bonus episode is for the night before the week starts, when your mind keeps replaying last week and rehearsing the next one.

I'm bringing back one of our most-requested episodes so you can learn how to stop overthinking before Monday arrives. I walk you through the difference between overthinking and deep thinking, plus simple tools from Chapter 4 of my book Help in a Hurry that you can use the moment the replay starts. I also share what happened when I caught myself running the same painful scenario 17 times in 10 minutes, walking through an airport on my way to speak at a conference.

🔬 What you'll learn:

How to catch overthinking early, from the replaying to the worst-case scenarios to the panic that keeps building

Why going over and over the plan for a meeting or a busy week keeps you stuck

Overthinking vs deep thinking, and why deep thinking gets you to a resolution you can act on

The four questions I use to break a thought loop in the moment

A 10-second breathing reset you can do anywhere, and how to give your mind something new to think about
