HOW TO STOP OVERTHINKING

It’s true that we need to think things through carefully but sometimes we think about things too much, and in a way that creates worry or stress. Through Buddhist meditation and mental training we can discover how to stop thinking in unhelpful ways, and start thinking in ways that are beneficial. We can learn what to do when our thoughts start to become circular, negative, stuck or unclear. By gaining a deeper understanding of our inner world, we will find it much easier to switch off when we need to and as a result can experience genuine peace of mind and an improved quality of life. Everyone is welcome.
