How I Stopped Overthinking: The Theory That Changed My Life

I’ve given myself an excuse to spend hours researching the topics I wish I knew more about so you don’t need to read a whole book to understand something important.

So I've started with one of the most important things I've researched over the last few years: how to channel your overthinking and make it your superpower.

The episode is only 35 minutes long, so perfect for your morning hot girl walk! Let me know what you think!

thank youuu Grace for this episode 💗 chronic overthinker here.. loove the term of 'analysis paralysis', overthinking quite literally paralyses you. love the idea of whittling it all down to the 3 causes. really enjoyed your delivery of everything too 🥹🌷

[SiyamthandaNkwethane]

Hope you remain courageously curious to continuously create these impactful and insightful episodes. May God Almighty bless you abundantly in every sphere of your life.

I suggest reading a book 'Oliver Mercer: Hidden Manifestation' if you want to know how to manifest anything. Just follow everything writer suggests in there, it's one of the best reads I had in a while.

When you said overthinking means you're creative, it really resonated! This episode is very much helpful.

[_coach_lillie]

It's like you've climbed inside my head and been able to fully understand everything that's going on (which is a lot and something I struggle to do!) - thank you for this ep, super super helpful!

[PraiseAra]

Listening to this on my way to do the returns I was putting off and choosing to feel proud of myself and give myself that ego boost ❤

[ZithaNim]

The fact that I’ve been on the fence about moving across the GLOBE to AUSTRALIA for a masters degree and then your example is literally the fear of moving abroad 🫢

grace this is a really, really brilliant video. felt clear, concise and supportive - thank you for repeating the action steps so i remembered to write them down at the end. here's to more clarity, action, and acknowledging the evidence to build our sense of worth <3

[bertarossell]

Thanks Grace. I’ve been weeks in a spiral of overthinking and This is really really helpful. No conclusions yet but really really good tool to get closer to it

[Rachelkellygraham_]

So 24:18 when you said ovethinking means you a creative person, you got me ! This podcast episode is just want I need .

[katrina]

This episode was so fun :D I can't believe you made overthinking & scientific explanation sound so fun and give actionable steps that are easy to remember. <3

This is an amazing topic to be talking about! however, as an emerging creator I would love to see the behind the scenes on how you elegantly put together these videos and ensure every thing that needs to be spoken about is spoken about during the process and the editing process. You're a busy lady so also understand if this is something you don't wish to show

[erinhiggins]

It’s like you looked at my brain and knew this was exactly what I needed to hear today ❤

[byhellyjo]

Huge overthinker here and often get analysis paralysis! Love this episode and will definitely try these tools ❤

[niolab]

As a business owner I realized my procrastination stemmed from a fear of success. I self-sabotaged and I sat in that feeling as you said. It took me all the way to my childhood and realizing my mum has always diminished my wins and anytime I’ve been asked to be a lead in school - she has discouraged me. When people say, ‘Xxx is creative, I love her work ‘.. she tells me things like I know people say your work is good but I don’t really see it.

I’m gradually separating my feelings from her criticisms playing over and over in my mind.

…p.s I was featured in a magazine once - full page feature of me in an evening gown ( she said I looked horrible ( a better word of what she actually said )

[annabelwigs]

LOVED THIS! Thank you for this helpful, and actionable advice! <3 xx

[savannahcat]

I am seated for this because I am a self proclaimed overthinking queen lol

[JMTJNC]

Hi Grace, former queen of overthinking here! Have you heard about the teachings of Positive Intelligence by Shirzad Chamine? It literally changed my life and how I approach overthinking now. He would be an amazing guest for the podcast on this topic!
Thanks for all your very informative and helpful work ❤

[cadencestringer]

i feel like a issue ive had is Its me vs me, ive took everything negative anyone ever said, any experience etc and just stored it in my brain for 10+ years and just believe I'm it, whilst everyone around me lifts me up and says I'm not this way, its like I revert to the negative thoughts... tricky
