How to Breathe Through Overthinking (Literally)

Overthinking hijacks your brain, burns your energy, and often leads… nowhere. The fastest way I’ve found to calm the noise? Breathwork.

In this post, you’ll learn:

  • Why overthinking is a nervous system response, not just a “bad habit”
  • The 4-7-8 breathing technique that signals calm to your brain
  • How to pair breath with thought labeling to interrupt spirals
  • One quick breathing routine I use before making tough decisions
  • When to use calming breath vs. energizing breath

Takeaway:
You don’t have to solve every thought—just slow it down. Breathing with intention gives your mind something safe to anchor to, especially when you feel overwhelmed.
