WHY WON’T MY MIND SHUT OFF?

When Thinking Becomes Overthinking

You finally have a quiet moment—but your mind keeps going.

Replaying conversations. Revisiting decisions. Anticipating what could happen next. Trying to solve problems that may not even have an answer yet.

Thinking is necessary. Overthinking is exhausting.

In this live online session of The Psychology of Everyday Life, Dr. Graciela explores what happens when productive thinking becomes repetitive mental overload—and why simply telling yourself to “stop thinking” rarely works.

Through a practical, science-informed and holistic lens, you’ll learn how to recognize the patterns that keep the mind activated, interrupt unhelpful thought loops, and create more space between you and the thoughts demanding your attention.

You’ll leave with practical tools to help you:

• Reduce mental overload and repetitive thinking
• Recognize when reflection has shifted into rumination
• Respond more effectively to uncertainty and emotional overwhelm
• Create greater clarity, calm and inner steadiness
• Develop a healthier relationship with your own thoughts

This is not about eliminating thought. It is about learning when thinking is serving you—and when it is keeping you stuck.
