Interrupt Thought Spirals To Reset And Calm Your Nervous System

Stuck in an overthinking loop? Sometimes overthinking can keep you stuck and drain your energy! Telling yourself to “just stop” doesn’t work. But giving your brain something else to focus on can interrupt the thought spiral so you can calm your nervous system. This gives you the reset you need to get unstuck and refocus. You can try this: ✨ Count backwards from 100 by 3s. ✨ Name 5 things around you. ✨ List 10 movies you love. Simple? Yes. But it can help because your brain can’t spiral and focus at the same time. Try it right now. Let your brain shift gears. You deserve the reset. ___ I’m Dr. Gretchen, psychiatrist & educator.
