## Resource

Overthinking can be a real cause of anxiety for some people. Have you ever struggled to get to sleep at night with all the thoughts running through your head? Does my new boss like me? Am I even cut out for this job? My kid just brought home a bad report card; are they going through a rough patch, or is it a sign of something more serious? Basically, your mind goes into overdrive and you feel like there’s nothing you can do about it. After all, thinking is natural, isn’t it, so how are you supposed to just stop? Well if you’ve tried meditation and to-do-lists but found they just weren’t of any use, here’s a new approach that might help lighten your daily burdens: it’s called brain dumping. Isn’t that just like writing a journal? Does it really work though? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!
