Raise your hand if the last few months has had you stuck in your head more than usual!
It's easy to get stuck on loops of anxiety, worry, or second-guessing. Today, I'm joined by my brilliant friend Anne Bogel- enneagram expert and author of the new book Don't Overthink It.
Anne breaks down how overthinking typically manifests for each enneagram type and how we can break out of unhealthy cycles with quick and amazingly simple adjustments- so you can live with more freedom, joy, and clarity.
We also chat about:
-Why overthinking may not look the way you imagine.
-How perfectionism traps us into chronic overthinking.
-Why scheduling time to worry can save you tons of mental energy in the long run.
Favorite quotes:
1. When people lose their cool or get really mad about something they see on the internet or say something they regret, or get sucked into endless scrolling on Instagram they don’t do it when they are healthy, happy, well-rested and well-fed. They do it when they’re tired and hungry.
2. I thought I knew what overthinking looked like but I did not see how many different forms it takes in our lives. It can feel like worry, it can look like second-guessing, it can look like spending too much time on second guesses, it could look like laying awake at 3am, it could look like worrying about the small stuff but the underlying thread is that these thoughts are repetitive, unhealthy, unhelpful.
3. You think nobody should know your own life and own mind better than you but I think it really comes back around to you need some limitations. Limit yourself to free yourself.
In this episode I answer these questions:
1. Is it true that God never gives us more than we can handle? (49:12)
2. I want to start a side business to bring in income for the family but I don't know if I have the personality for it. How do I know if I can make it work? (52:14)
