#29 Overthinking: Our Brain’s Favorite Hobby

If overthinking were an Olympic sport, we’d both be gold medalists. In this episode of The Why Of It All, we dive into the ridiculous, exhausting, and oh so relatable subject of rumination.  We unpack the science behind rumination, confess our most recent overthinking episodes, and explore the eight most common styles of rumination. And because we’d never leave you stuck on the mental hamster wheel, we share our favorite tools to interrupt the cycle. If you’ve ever wondered why your brain won’t just let it go, this episode will make you laugh, sigh in recognition, and give you practical ways to interrupt the endless thought loops.SPONSORS | USE PROMO CODE “HEAL” for 10% OFFEpic Minerals: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.EpicMinerals.net⁠⁠⁠Tulip Blooms: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.TulipBlooms.shop⁠⁠⁠The best way to support our show is to help us expand our reach!
