and our brain can't switch off from it right it's going to be in that hyper loop of that hyper thought the whole time probably with one line of a song that we picked up somewhere in the day playing over and over and over and well you know with rsd and this kind of like rumination we can remember something we did 10 years ago and still have that visceral like oh no i can't believe i did that feeling and that likes to pop in as well

And that is a great technique. And I talk to women about that as well. Just get up, turn the light on, write it down. Because in your brain, I think part of the reason we get stuck in a loop is because we've learned we're going to forget it.

You know, because it's like, we're worried we're going to forget to do the thing if we don't do it instantly. So it's like following the crumbs on a Hansel and Gretel trail where it just leads us into this. How have I got here? Because it's like, if we don't do it straight away, it will drop out.

And it's instant. It has gotten to where you think, what was I just thinking about?

And I think this is one of the things I speak to my women about is that we need to get rid of these shoulds. And again, perimenopause is a great time to do this, of surrendering these outdated beliefs that no longer serve us.
