#06 How I Stopped Overthinking (for real)

Let's talk about overthinking! Something I guess we all know at times, when our mind starts racing, circling around a topic and just can not let go anymore. So, in this episode I'm sharing some of my personal experiences with you, what helped me to get out it and also why it can be so valuable to look at the actual problem behind the problem. I'm talking about what can be behind overthinking after social situations, about our need for control, learning to live with uncertainty and getting to know the voices in our head. So, make yourself comfortable, grab a warm cup of tea and let's have another Forest Talk together! 🌲🤎🌲 Forest Talks - A Podcast by Leena Henningsen 🌲LISTEN HERE: Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0347t1mlyzhWTWHGukuz7N?si=1d20a7899cfb4357Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/forest-talks/id6801808507Amazon: https://music.amazon.de/podcasts/eb4d2e10-cb2c-408a-bfa5-058809aba427/forest-talks?ref=dm_sh_fvDN7K7ISWVHgrDa7hJIJ5FLM_____________________________________➳ HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/leenahenningsenPaypal donation:  https://paypal.me/artofnatureNO➳ FIND US HERE:Leena's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/leena.henningsen/Joachim's Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/joachim.ingulstad/______________________________________CHAPTER: 0:00 - 03:53 Intro & Life Update03:53 - 05:24 Healthy vs. unhealthy overthinking 05:24 - 07:17 The problem behind the problem07:17 - 10:43 My horse trigger story 10:43 - 12:29 Learn to live with uncertainty & wrong decisions12:29 - 16:25 Overthinking after social situations 16:25 - 21:39 The voices in your head 21:39 - 22:47 Outro 

It sounds like such a dream right? Being a full time artist, selling your work on Social Media and just spend all your time doing what love doing most. So, in this episode I'm sharing some honest insights into how it has been for me, what I would do differently today, ways to earn money and if it's actually worth it to constantly hunt after big numbers and viral videos.

I guess it's not hard to feel stressed in today's world. To feel behind, to compare ourselves and think that we should be so much further on our journey and in our lives. And by that we lose sight of one of the most important things - our uniqueness and what it means to follow our very own individual path in life. To be a learning, growing and incomplete human being and seeing the beauty in that. So in this episode I talk a bit about learning to step away from that pressure, becoming kinder towards ourselves and slowing down enough to actually hear what is right for you. Because I really believe that deep down you already know. 🌲❤️🌲LISTEN HERE: Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@ForestTalksPodcastSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0347t1m...Amazon: https://music.amazon.de/podcasts/eb4d...Pocket Cast: https://pca.st/mdf4glft_____________________________________➳ HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT:Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/leenahenningsen Paypal donation: https://paypal.me/artofnatureNO______________________________________CHAPTER: 0:00 - 02:25 Introduction02:25 - 07:41 Feeling stressed, behind & not enough07:41 - 11:40 Build yourself an energy fortress11:40 - 14:12 Become your own best friend 14:12 - 19:12 Slow down, you already know the answer19:12 - 21:57 Don’t push past your threshold21:57 - 23:00 Outro

In the last ten years I have been going through my very own process of transformation and when I look back I sometimes can't believe how much has changed. So, that is what this episode is about: change. How is it possible to *actually* change things in our life and why is it that we sometimes turn our whole life upside down and somehow keep finding us at the same spot all over again? So, here I’m sharing some of the things I’ve learned along the way, about determination and compassion and why I truly believe that change is always possible.

So, what is it actually like to live in the Norwegian wilderness? Where the winters are cold, life is simple and nature makes the rules. For me, experiencing that changed my life completely and it also made me remember a part of myself I have been missing for a long time without even knowing it. A part that feels natural and wild, that is connected and in touch with the world around me. Maybe something we generally have lost in our modern world? About all that I'm talking in this episode, hope you'll enjoy listening ♥

Let me introduce myself! In this episode I'm sharing a bit about myself and my personal journey, that led me here to this very different life in the forests of Norway. _________________________➳ HOW YOU CAN SUPPORT: Patreon: ⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/leenahenningsen⁠ Paypal donation: ⁠https://paypal.me/artofnatureNO⁠ ➳ FIND ME HERE:Youtube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@LeenaHenningsen⁠ Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/leena.henningsen/⁠
