Want to be able to stop anxious overthinking whenever you want?

You know that moment when all of a sudden you find yourself dealing with lots of thoughts at the same time inside your mind?

That moment when you have so much noise in your head that you can’t even hear yourself and you start to feel anxiety building up and it seems you can’t do anything about it?

I’ve been there and it sucks.

Well, there’s something that works like a charm for me when that happens.

Ready?

Whenever you are in the midst of that awful moment, just say to yourself:

“I wonder what my next thought will be”

BOOM!

Your mind goes blank for a while…

It’s like you’re challenging it to select a thought, just one single thought, and present it to you.

You make it choose, and you’re being conscious about it.

So your mind kinda crashes and for a second resets…

And there’s the silence you’ve been longing for…

It feels good, right?

From that point on, it’s just a matter of trying to keep up that momentum of nothingness up there by staying into that feeling of inner peace.

It’s all about being deliberately conscious.

Try it. You can do it when and wherever you want.

It works for me, I hope it helps you too.
