Overcoming Overthinking: Finding Peace Beyond the Noise
September 17- October 8 (No class Oct 15)
Get out of your head and into your heart. Overthinking is a habit that keeps us stuck—fueling restless mental activity, anxiety, doubt, and over-analysis that can leave us feeling emotionally drained and disconnected from others. Instead of helping us solve our problems, excessive thinking often magnifies fear, uncertainty, and self-criticism, making it difficult to relax, make decisions, or enjoy our life.
Buddhist meditation offers a different approach. Rather than trying to control every thought, we can learn how to step back from unhelpful mental patterns and develop a calmer, more spacious mind.
