When Your Brain Wont Shut Up: My Trick for Managing Intrusive Thoughts

Published: March 27, 2023, 7 a.m.

I want to chat with you about something that I\u2019ve NEVER talked about publicly\u2026

\u2026 and that\u2019s how I handle fears and intrusive thoughts that can pop into our heads unexpectedly and wreak havoc on our mental well-being.

Personally, I know what it's like to get stuck in an anxious cycle, especially when it feels like those intrusive thoughts JUST WON\u2019T GO AWAY. But over time, I've learned some techniques that have really helped me work through them quickly and keep my mind from spiraling.

The amount of problems and challenges that I face now is probably more than I ever have - but get this - I am the HAPPIEST, most CONTENT, and most SATISFIED in my life that I've ever been!

On today\u2019s episode, I get personal and share some of my own struggles with these pesky thoughts that always seem to pop up at the worst possible times. But I also offer some valuable insights into how I've managed to train my brain to work around them.

So, if you're dealing with fears and intrusive thoughts too, I encourage you to listen in and try the technique I\u2019m sharing today. It can take time and effort to train your brain to work around these thoughts, but it's absolutely worth it for your mental health and well-being.
