You know that feeling when your mind won't stop spinning? When you replay conversations from three years ago, second-guess every decision, and wonder why you keep doing the same things that clearly aren't working?

Yeah, I've been there too.

That relentless loop of overthinking isn't just annoying—it's exhausting. And underneath all that mental chatter is usually one core question: "Why do I keep sabotaging myself?"

Here's what I've learned: those patterns aren't who you are. They're just habits your nervous system learned to keep you safe. But what once protected you is now keeping you stuck.

The Real Problem Isn't the Thoughts

Most people try to think their way out of overthinking. They analyze the analysis, which just creates more mental noise. But here's the thing—you can't solve an emotional problem with mental strategies.

The real issue is that somewhere along the way, you stopped trusting yourself. You started believing that external validation was more reliable than your own inner knowing. So now your mind races, trying to predict and control outcomes because it doesn't trust you to handle whatever comes.

Breaking the Pattern Starts with One Question

Instead of asking "How do I stop overthinking?" try asking: "What am I actually afraid of right now?"

Because underneath every spiral is usually fear. Fear of making the wrong choice. Fear of being rejected. Fear of not being enough.

When you can name the fear, you can speak to it. You can remind yourself that you've handled hard things before. You can choose to respond from your power instead of your pain.
