Your Mind Can Stop Overthinking If You Do This | Things You Don't Know Your Mind Can Do - 3

In this episode of Things You Don’t Know Your Mind Can Do, we explore one of the most common struggles of the modern mind — overthinking.Why do anxious thoughts feel so real even when nothing dangerous is happening? Why does the body react to imagined scenarios as if they are actually occurring? And how can one simple question help interrupt that cycle in seconds?Through practical insights and relatable examples, this episode explores the powerful grounding question: “Is this happening now, or only in my head?” Listeners will discover how overthinking is often the mind’s attempt to protect us, how anxiety influences the body through breath, heartbeat, and muscle tension, and why compassionate redirection works better than suppressing thoughts.This conversation offers a simple but powerful reminder: not every thought deserves belief, and sometimes awareness itself is enough to create calm.Expert: Anu Krishna Host: MadhaviSound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita Puranik
