Is the Relentless Chatter in Your Head Driving You Crazy? Here's the Way Out!
“My mind never stops — and it’s driving me crazy.” This is the most common complaint I hear from people struggling with chronic overthinking. We spend enormous amounts of time and energy trying to quiet, control or switch off the mind. But what if that very struggle is precisely what is keeping us trapped? What if you don't need to 'fix' the mind at all, just learn to relate to it in a different way? Next week I'm holding a Free Live Masterclass where I'll share a radically different approach — one based not on fighting your thoughts, but on changing your relationship with them. Title: Is the Relentless Chatter in Your Head Driving You Crazy? Here's the Way Out Time: Thursday 1st October at 7pm UK time | 2pm EST | 11am PST Rather than spending years striving for peace of mind – what I call 'ironing the ocean' – I'll show you how to make peace with your mind tright away, just as it is. Here's the link to register. It's absolutely free and includes Q&As at the end. https://www.thinklessandgrowrich.com/free-webinar/ Hope to see you there!

How's the Mind? And How are You?
This is one of the questions I always ask on my weekly group coaching calls. When the mind is overactive, negative or self-critical, most people suffer as a result. Why is this? We suffer, not because the mind is troublesome but because we believe it shouldn't be. Read that again! We believe that if the mind is not quiet and peaceful, there's something wrong. What if, instead of fighting or resisting the the content of the mind, you could simply allow it to be as it is? What if you were OK with anxious thoughts appearing? They would affect your peace nearly as much, right? So here's my question to you. How is the mind right now? And how are you? How are you in relation to the thoughts that appear in your head? This is where freedom lies. Comment below.

@Sandi Orner Here's the thing Sandi. If worry is there, it's there. As you say, you are not in control. It's nothing more than a habitual programme that plays by itself. In my experience, trying to fix or change these programmes takes years. A far simpler approach is to pause, take a breath, step back and observe "Worry is there" What you are doing is creating istance between the mind and you. Whether the worry remains a problem or not depends mostly on the commentary that it creates. If there is resistance, you will suffer twofold – first from the worry and then from the mind's story about the worry. If you can look upon the mind objectively and recognise it as an old programme that's running, this may well talke a lot of the sting out of it. 😀
Introduction
Hey everyone! I’m Josh from NH. I joined because I play piano and teach free piano lessons. However, I overthink about how I want to transition into teaching full time. Looking forward to learning more and getting to know everyone!

Hi Josh. Welcome to the group. Post any questions you have here in the discussion and I'll be sure to answer.
Have you read Kick the Thinking Habit yet? 🙏
If you click the classroom tab at the top of the page you'll see I have uploaded a free copy of my 269-page book Kick the Thinking Habit which walks you step-by-step through the entire process of disentangling yourself from a busy mind to discover the ever-present peace beneath the surface. If you have read the book, I have a huge favour to ask. Would you consider going to the book's Amazon page and leaving an honest review. that would help me massively. The links are below. Thanks! 🙏 Amazon US Amazon Uk

@Sandi Orner Thanks Sandi.
What are you grateful for today?
Gratitude is one of the most potent tools we can use to rein in our overthinking minds which tend to focus on problems and what's wrong> Name 3 things you are grateful for in your life. I'll start.
