Is Your Brain on Overdrive? Here's How to Tell If You're Thinking Too Much—Or Thinking Well


We’ve all been there—replaying conversations, worrying about the future, spiraling in a loop of mental noise. But is that really helping you—or just stressing you out?


In this bite-sized episode, Dr. Caroline Leaf breaks down the powerful difference between overthinking and deep thinking, and why understanding the two could change your mental health game. You’ll learn how to stop spiraling, quiet the chaos in your mind, and train your brain to think in a way that actually moves you forward—not keeps you stuck.


🧠 Key Highlights

  • The neuroscience of why we overthink—and how to stop it in 63 seconds
  • How to spot when you’ve crossed the line from reflecting to ruminating
  • 3 simple ways to shift from anxious thinking to deliberate, deep thinking
  • Breathing and journaling techniques that calm your nervous system
  • Why movement, curiosity, and questioning are your superpowers for mental peace
