Mind Chatter – 

Does your brain start chattering and seemingly never stop?

Do you feel distracted and unable to focus, like your brain just won’t shut up and it can be so noisy up there it’s overwhelming?

I’m right there with you, my friend.

The constant mind chatter that analyzes every single thing about you and your life, your circumstances, your fears, and all of your shortcomings.

Reflecting on your problems and noodling over solutions is one of the best ways to move forward in life even if it’s not the most pleasant way to spend your time.

But sometimes all that mind chatter in our heads gets mean.

We beat ourselves up for the slightest things, talk ourselves out of doing things we should actually do, or get stuck in a loop of worry or shame.

We have brains that have a life of their own, and they have all kinds of thoughts and ideas they want to share with us all day every day.

And there’s no question it can be overwhelming.

It’s like background noise that never ceases, from the moment you wake up to the moment you lay down to go to sleep. It can even prevent you from falling asleep.

Here are some of the questions we’re going to answer in this episode:

  • Figuring out the balance of life and recovery to lessen the mental chatter
  • Understanding healthy boundaries
  • The difference between sobriety and recovery and how it helps you
  • Powerful tools to use to quiet your mind
