Pieces To Wellness
We believe mental health is a spectrum. At one end is wellness and on the other end is illness. These conversations we have will offer up tips and tools to not only bring you closer to the wellness side, but also help keep you there. TPP (Author & formerly of Above Ground Podcast) and Karen have put together a new mental health podcast that is chock full of lived experiences, wellness tips & practical tools to provide you with some pieces… but it is up to you to put them together to reach that level of wellness that you have been working toward. Take out that tool box and let’s share tools together! Remember, the road to a better you is paved with Pieces To Wellness.

Pieces To Wellness
Overthinking
This week the Instigator and the Yogi are talking about overthinking. We start with the questions: Does overthinking steal your joy? Can it be strategic or useful?
Thinking about thinking (metacognition), like so many things, is a behavior that has a whole spectrum of applications. There are so many possible ways our thoughts can be helpful/healthy or unhealthy/unhelpful. It all comes back to our perspective, how we look at things. We each share how black and white thinking tends to be on the unhelpful side for us, whereas talking with a trusted person helps us sort out our thoughts and broadens our perspective. Karen reflects on Norman Cousins who's known for using laughter, positive thinking, and megadoses of vitamin C to cure himself of a crippling connective tissue disease.
Our perspective is shaped by our experiences for sure. And, it's up to us to take a steadfast approach to maintaining the inner landscape of our minds. With gentleness, grace, and a relentless spirit. We're right there with you to help you find the way!
Is there something you're struggling with? Or something you'd like to hear us discuss?
