In our personal and professional lives, analysis is necessary. But over analysis – the act of rumination, worrying, or being ‘stuck in your head’ – can have a negative impact on your psychological, mental and physical health. It is, however, a habit that can be broken. Combining science with mindfulness, this presentation will demonstrate that overthinking is a stressor that not only keeps you from paying attention and being present in life, it can also contribute to imbalance and disease in the body, affect mood and productivity, and prevent you from mastering one of the most invaluable habits – the ability to listen to your innate intuitive sense.

Also available as a 90-minute seminar incorporating additional content about nutrition, exercise, and mindfulness.
