Ep 110 - How to stop overthinking re-release with Tahirih McLaren-Brown

Are you an overthinker? Perhaps you ruminate on past situations, worry about future events or are fearful of the judgement of others? This re-release of one of my most popular podcasts with Tahirih McLaren-Brown is for you. Overthinking can affect both our work and personal lives as well as how we show up with confidence as a leader. Our thoughts also directly impact the levels of daily stress we experience and how quickly we can recover from it. We discussed: What mindfulness is and how it can benefit you How you can have more awareness and control of your thoughts and emotions What you can do if you’re feeling worried or anxious about returning to the office Ways you can handle uncertainty and even embrace it A quick mindfulness exercise you can do anywhere to instantly ease your stress   If you’d like to learn the Four Step Pause that Tahirih shared and get access to seven days of guided meditations for overthinkers, you can find those here: https://tahirih-mclaren-brown.newzenler.com/courses/free-mindfulness-kit   JOIN THE BOOK LAUNCH SQUAD My book - “Closing the Influence Gap: A practical guide for women leaders who want to be heard” – is launching on Monday 19 September.
