Good Life Project · When You Can't Stop Thinking About Something, Here's What To Do. | Donna Jackson Nakazawa · 2 Jul 2026 podcast

We all know what they are.

We all recognize that idea that here's this old reel again.

And it could have been something that happened last week when you were at a family reunion, or it could be something that happened 15 years ago that you just really have never spoken up about or dealt with in a way that you maybe wish you had.

But yes, absolutely.

So...

I think one thing that I really want to say here, in addition to how we can tell the difference, because we can tell the difference also, Jonathan, because of how it makes us feel.

Mm-hmm.

You might feel a sense of fight, flight, freeze, but you are definitely shrinking down into a somatic state that doesn't feel good.

Your heart may be racing, and you generally feel as if you have gotten nowhere at all.

Another good question to ask yourself, and I do this.

I do this all the time.

Am I choosing to do this or is it kind of like a runaway car?

I'm trying to get on the brakes, but I can't.

And you said this earlier, right?

Oh, yeah.

Tell myself, this is not good.

Stop thinking about what Sally said at dinner last night.

but you can't.

And so if you ask yourself that one simple, am I choosing to think about this, or is this like a car without brakes?

I just can't.
