Taming the Mind: Tools to Stop Worrying

Hey there, friend! Do you ever feel like your mind is constantly racing with worries you can’t quiet? Well, in this episode of the Personal Development Unplugged Podcast, we’re going to take on that noisy “monkey mind” and discover how to transform those endless worries into clarity and peace.

I’m going to walk you through what’s really going on when that chatter takes over. We’ll dig into why worry shows up in the first place and how you can acknowledge it without letting it control you. By the end of this episode, you’ll have some super practical tools to break free from overthinking and start creating a mindset that’s both calmer and more confident.

Picture this: waking up tomorrow with a peaceful mind, ready to take on the day with ease. Sound good? Together, we’ll explore how to make that a reality. I’ll share simple but powerful techniques like practising gratitude and writing down your worries to help you regain control and move past the cycle of anxious thinking.

Anxiety doesn’t have to run the show. It's time to shift your perspective, break old patterns, and start finding healthier ways to navigate those swirling thoughts. This episode is packed with helpful insights and exercises to help you reconnect with your best self and truly enjoy the journey ahead.

And the transcript WARNING if you're a lover of the written word this may make you frustrated, or angry - you have been warned - is it an 'ism

Hey, my friend, how you doing? How you doing? Hopefully you're really, really well. Really well. It's pull from, as you know, it's the personal development unplugged. Trying to break down some complicated stuff, making it into simple changes, simple steps, things that we can achieve without overwhelm. Because so many people make this genre so difficult or they don't tell you the how. They tell you the what and, not the how. And here I'm going to tell you the how, the what and everything in between. And hopefully make it so simple. Because Paul here, Cloughie. I can't do complicated. Complicated just does my brain in.

In simplicity there is genius.

In simplicity there is genius.

Taming the Mind is an easy way to stop worrying

Anyway, what we're going to talk about today. What are we talking about today? Taming the Mind. tools to stop worrying. Big title, Taming the Mind. You know, think about it now. Have you ever experienced, I think, what people call the monkey mind chattering away? It's there all the time. If you're worrying about something, you're either talking to yourself and you don't realize you're talking to yourself about how bad things could be, what's gonna happen, and imagining the worst, or you're just imagining the worst, and seeing it. And it's like a loop, isn't it? It's just a loop that keeps going round, round, round and around and round. And it doesn't get smaller, it gets bigger. It starts to affect everything else because instead of this one little issue that you had, it's now spiraled out of control. That's when it gets really big. And obviously, if things are getting that big, really, really, really, really big, I do suggest go and get one to one therapy. Suggest it every time. And I think, you know, get a really great hypnotist, an NLP practitioner, somebody does timeline therapy, they'll smash it for you that quickly. But we're talking about just getting that, that monkey mind, that chattering mind, that continual thing of what we always. But we all seem together. It's a big generalization, Cloughie. But that's what we get, you know, when worry becomes. Or seems to be endless, doesn't it, sometimes? And it's so hard. I know I'm gonna tell you this and you're gonna think, yeah, of course it is cluy. But it is trying to do you some bloody good. Worry has a positive intention. But when you can't seem to think straight and you can't think of anything else and you get that bloody overwhelm. And it can lead to little panic attacks, can't it? It does lead to a loss of performance in other areas of our life. It does affect our, communication with people, our connection with people, our relationships. You know, we get short with people, we get angry sometimes we just flip and we know it's wrong, you know it's not the right thing to do. But somehow it just triggers that all for this wonderful positive intention. I'm trying to keep you safe, which is really weird. and we'll go through that weirdness of that. So that's where we're going. We're going to dive deeply in a nice easy way to how to stop this overthinking. And m. We're not gonna do any usual way. I m want to say the usual way. We're going toa do it in my way. Bits of, maybe not quite hypnosis, but sort of a little bit of visualization, a little bit of deeper thinking. And may we're just seeing things from a different perspective because when you look at things differently, the things you look at become different. And that's what this is all about. And also understanding this positive intention. Because when you get that, and when you get the positive intention and you also get your unconscious mind to understand, there's a conflict for what it's trying to do for you and what it's actually producing. That's when the big changes work, the big changes come into it and we can access those changes. So that's where we're going.

Imagine waking up tomorrow with
