Happy Mindful Monday Everyone!\n\nIn this week's episode, our host Allie Brooke discusses how "Counterfactual Thinking" can help break down your anxious thoughts that lead to an overthinking spiral. She references the book "The Perfectionists Guide to Losing Control: A Path To Peace and Power" by Katherine Morgan Schafler. Counterfactual thinking is our brains' way of protecting and preparing for past and future events. When an event happens, our brains go into alternate reality mode to decipher what we could have done better and how to prepare for next time. This thinking can be helpful but, if not regulated can lead to overthinking.\n\nEpisode Topics\n\n\n What is Counterfactual Thinking\n\n The difference between upwards and downward counterfactual thoughts\n\n How to use additive self-compassion after making mistakes in order to move on \n\n How to regulate between self-reflection and ruminating thoughts \n\n\n\n\nResource from the episode\n\n"The Perfectionists Guide to Losing Control: A Path To Peace and Power" by Katherine Morgan Schafler. \n\n\n\nMINDSET COACHING PROGRAM!\n\n\n Application Form\n\n 3-month Mindset Coaching Program with 45-60 minute sessions and Weekly SLACK Check-ins!\n\n Apply for a FREE discovery call with me!\n\n\n\n\nAllie\u2019s Socials\n\n\n Instagram:@thegrowthmindsetgal\n\n TikTok: @growthmindsetgal\n\n Email: thegrowthmindsetgal@gmail.com\n\n\nHey Growth Mindset Gang!
