Keff Vidala: OVERTHINKING IS NOT YOUR FAULT: How I Broke the Cycle of Negative Thoughts, Quieted Anxiety, and..., Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

You lie awake at 3 a. m. going over a conversation from last week. You draft the message ten times before sending it. You apologise for things nobody noticed. And in the morning you are tired before the day has even started. You have been told to relax, to think positive, to simply let it go. None of it worked - and somewhere along the way you started believing the problem was you. It is not. Overthinking is not a weakness of character. It is something your brain learned, usually to protect you, and anything that was learned can be unlearned. Keff Vidala knows that ceiling at 3 a. m. by heart. Born in Kinshasa, bullied through school after arriving in Germany at nine, in debt and sleeping on a friend's couch at twenty-five - he spent years as a prisoner in his own head before finding the way out. This is the book he needed back then and never found. Inside you will discover why your brain overthinks, the four patterns of rumination and which one is yours, the five feelings that keep the spiral running, simple tools to calm your body when your mind will not stop, and how to let go of what you cannot change. Quiet the noise. Find your peace.
