Ever find yourself replaying conversations from 1997 at 2 AM? Welcome to the overthinking club—we meet in our heads, constantly, at all hours.

In this Soul Joy Friday Fun Day episode, we're diving into the spiritual and scientific reasons behind your mental hamster wheel. Perfect for healthcare professionals who've spent decades problem-solving for everyone else and now can't turn off their own racing thoughts.

What You'll Learn:

• Which three chakras are behind your overthinking (hint: your third eye is overachieving again)
• Why healthcare professionals overthink more than most—and why it's actually intensified after 50
• The neuroscience behind why you can't "think" your way to peace
• Three research-backed, spiritually-grounded practices to quiet your mind in under 5 minutes
• Why your overthinking isn't your enemy—it's just exhausted

Key Research Mentioned:

• Harvard University study on mind-wandering (47% of our waking hours)
• UC Berkeley research on overthinking in women over 50
• Yale's Dr. Susan Nolen-Hoeksema on rumination and control
• HeartMath Institute on breathing and nervous system regulation
• Dr. Kristin Neff's UT Austin research on self-compassion vs. rumination

Practices Shared:

1. The Third Eye Pressure Release (60 seconds) - Instant relief for analysis paralysis
2. The Throat Chakra Truth Bomb (5-minute journaling) - Reduce intrusive thoughts by 40%
3. The Crown Chakra Surrender Practice (evening ritual) - Permission to be enough

Quotable Moments:

• "You can't think your way out of a problem that requires you to FEEL."
• "Your chakras aren't broken. They're just overworked, like you."
