Drop the Mental Weight: Stop Overthinking with One Unconventional Practice

Cole Baker-Bagwell Season 5 Episode 77

The mental weight of emotional residue you're carrying that fuels overthinking, and leaves you feeling tense, wired, scattered, and stuck, can’t be measured on a scale. But what if it could? 

As we step into December, and wrap up a year that’s been heavy for so many of us, this episode is an invitation to drop the weight.

You’ll learn how to:
  • Identify the mental weight you’re carrying
  • Stop overthinking (and ruminating)
  • Drop the mental weight and reset your mind- for good

Drawing from mindset science, emotional intelligence, and two of my proprietary signature coaching frameworks, we're diving into the reality of mental weight and one wildly unconventional mindfulness practice to drop the weight and reclaim your agency to live well.
