Are You Mind-Spinning? Here’s How to Overcome it

Guest Post :: You might be thinking, “But Sylvia, what is mind-spinning?” Let me explain. Are your days always filled with all kinds of different subjects running through your mind?  Why did that happen? Did I do a good job? Why did I say that? Did my client believe in my explanation? Did I lose my relationship? All of those thoughts are an illusion, since you do not have all of the correct answers when you mind-spin, learn the first step to solving problems.

When we spin on an ongoing basis we are creating drama and looking for trouble. When we look for trouble, we lose our self-confidence, and mind-spinning is about a lack of belief in ourselves. We lose our clarity because we are fogging our brain with a lot of nonsense.

We do not mind-spin if we think about a subject, make a plan, and take action. If we can eliminate extreme worries and anxiety, we can stop the spinning. The next thing that mind-spinning can do is to get in the way of making solid and smart decisions, and having the ability to lead others.

If you listen to the opinions of others and you do not agree with those opinions, think about your own truth and what you believe. It’s okay to learn from those who can honestly teach you something. Their help will minimize the spinning.

I remember a young man saying, “My mother calls me four times a day, asking me what I accomplished”. I respond with, mind spinning is not necessary if we continue to believe in our own courage and have the strength to know what needs to be done. We may not do everything right, but we can always learn from what we may have done wrong. Catch yourself when you mind-spin — that’s the first step to solving problems. If you can recognize that, you’ll be able to solve your own problems and the more you will grow!
