We all do it...
We wake up and instantly start thinking. Not just about the day ahead, but about everything that could go wrong.
I mean, how often do we stop to think about what might go right?
Almost never.
Instead, we spiral.
Stress. Anxiety. Overwhelm.
We tense up. Our breathing gets shallow. Our minds jump from one thought to the next, searching for certainty, control, or relief.
Sound familiar?
Half the time, we don’t even know we’re doing it (hello, unconscious mind ).
We dwell on the past.
We worry about a future that hasn’t even happened.
And soon, we’re caught in a loop of negative thinking that feels impossible to escape.
So when you see those well-meaning Instagram quotes like:
“Just think positive.”
“Be happy.”
“Change your thoughts, change your life.”
You’re like… seriously?
HOW?!
