Good Life Project · The 5 Types of Overthinking and How to Turn Each One Off | Emiliya Zhivotovskaya [Best of] · 14 May 2026 podcast

We think we need the worry in order to problem solve.

And research shows that high level worriers don't problem solve in the same way that people were able to get into a calm state and look at the problem.

So we really need to treat this both the chatter and.

And the emotion as just signals within our body that are meant to get our attention.

But then if we aren't controlling it, if we don't have the reins over our thoughts, then it's just like there's a lot of play with this metaphor of the rider and the elephant.

Just the elephant is running amok and here we are trying to control this emotion.

massive thing.

And we can call it the monkey mind.

The monkey just goes running around all over the place in our mind.

And so becoming a master of your mind, being able to actually redirect your thoughts and to work with your chatter is a level of personal mastery that we can all aspire to.

We just haven't been taught.

And so we just wind up in this doing as we've been doing.

And there's so many reasons why when we are having the thought, even when they're doom and gloom thoughts, it's very known that the brain doesn't truly know the difference between what it imagines and what it sees.

Okay, great.

So can I ask you to close your eyes for a second, Jonathan, because it's going to help with that.

And those of you who listen to the Good Life Project podcast while driving, keep your eyes open, but do this with us.

You just practice your visualization.

Okay, so Jonathan, I'm going to invite you to take a deep breath into your body and a slow breath out.

I just want to acknowledge your shoulders just dropped as you did that.
