Negativity will find you in the grocery store and remind you of a stupid thing you said Three Years Ago or a mistake you made.
Do you find yourself trapped in a cycle of overthinking? This episode of 'The One You Feed' features Jon Acuff, a New York Times bestselling author known for his practical wisdom and engaging talks. Jon sits down with host Eric Zimmer to chat about his book, *Soundtracks: The Surprising Solution to Overthinking*. Together, they dive into the mechanics of how our thoughts can become repetitive soundtracks that shape our lives, often to our detriment.
Jon shares his insights on why action is the antidote to overthinking and how inaction only fuels it. He explains the concept of 'pulling the thread' when dealing with emotions, helping you to process feelings rather than get stuck in them. One standout point Jon makes is about giving fear a voice but not a vote, allowing you to acknowledge it without letting it dictate your actions.
The conversation also touches on the importance of making decisions that align with who you want to be, rather than letting negative thoughts hold you back. Jon emphasizes the power of positive symbols and predictions in breaking the cycle of overthinking. He offers practical strategies for identifying and replacing those broken mental soundtracks with more truthful and uplifting ones. If you're someone who struggles with overthinking or negative self-talk, this episode is packed with actionable advice and inspiring insights.
