Think Yourself Crazy: Recent Episodes
Tarkisha Wallace
I read somewhere that overthinking is a "national epidemic" among young and middle-aged adults. I thought, dang, if they're considering me and my circle, they're spot on. Overthinking is something we've unintentionally taught ourselves to do, which I'm on a mission to unlearn. With that in mind, welcome to Think Yourself Crazy, a podcast for the overthinker. We're going to discuss all things overthinking and learn how to kick that bad habit. You know that worst case scenario we always come up with? That ends here. You, my friend, are worth the best case scenario too!

Happy Tuesday friends!! In order to really stop overthinking it's important that we know exactly who we are. With the help of Stop Overthinking, Master Your Emotions, and Start Taking Action by Brilliant Thinking, in this episode we discuss the importance of knowing who we are. I share why it's important to know who you are and what we can do to help with self-discovery. Get your pen and pad because this week's Don't You Worry Your Pretty Little Head is going to require some work!

Happy Tuesday friends!! How have you been speaking to yourself? There are many times we speak to ourselves negatively, which tends to produce negative thinking resulting in negative actions.

Hey, hey! Happy Tuesday friends. Have you ever stopped to think what overthinking might be costing you? Recently, I did and realized it was costing me my peace.

Hey, hey! Happy Tuesday friends. So, we've come to the end of the road of our Oh, FUDGE It series. I hope you've enjoyed this series as much as I have.

Y'all listen to see how Faith, Understanding, Discernment/Discipline, Grace, and Eject play a role in us stopping that ish!

Hey, hey, hey there!!!! And I'm back. Whew, y'all I'm sorry, but your girl has been life-ing and it was kind of winning. BUT I'm surviving and I'm here to share my story and kick overthinking in the butt for another season. So, thank y'all for bearing with me, waiting patiently (maybe lol), and coming on back to hang out with your girl.
Today, we are talking about how ANXIETY is a contributing factor to overthinking and deepening our understanding about anxiety. And I share a little bit about how we are going to say F (FUDGE, not the other F word duh lol) overthinking over the next few episodes. I hope it helps y'all like it's helping me. So, get ready! Season two is underway!

Hey, Hey, Hey!!! I missed y'all. Six weeks was a long time, but it also seemed to go by really quick. Caught me by surprise.
Today, I'm stopping in to let you know what to look forward to in Season 2 of Think Yourself Crazy. As always, I'm excited and look forward to the growth we will experience together in the upcoming season.
Here's our declaration from today's episode: "In 2023 I am going to be intentional about discontinuing overthinking."
Lastly, please don't forget to share your top three triggers to overthinking. Please send those to us on IG (@thinkyourselfcrazy).
So, that's all for now, but you all will be hearing from me real soon. Enjoy the remainder of 2022. I hope each of you complete it thriving in every area of your life because you are worth best case scenario.

Happy Tuesday friends! First things first, if it's November 8th and you've not voted, GET YOURSELF TO THE POLLS. Go vote!!
As the title implied, today's our season one finale. Whoop, whoop! We made it y'all. I'm proud of us. Thank you for sticking with me, and I sure hope you'll be back for more of our overthinking shenanigans on December 27th. This season has been meaningful and I know there is only more great things for each of us ahead. Until we're back on the podcast together, meet me on IG (@thinkyourselfcrazy), let's keep in touch there.
Here are the grounding techniques I mentioned during the episode. Due to the character limit, I'm only able to share so many. Send me an email or message on IG and I'll send you the full worksheet. ***Denotes techniques shared on this episode.
- ***Press your feet firmly to the ground to remind yourself where you are.
- Carry a polished stone or soft piece of cloth with you to touch.
- ***Carry a soothing picture with you and look at it when you are feeling anxious.
- ***Eat or drink a favorite food. Enjoy it slowly. Don’t do anything else while you are consuming it except focus on enjoying and savoring it.
- Notice where you are, including the people, sites, and sounds as if you were watching a T.V. show.
- ***Exercise, Stretch. Massage your muscles to relax them and reduce tension.
- Concentrate on your breathing. Take a deep cleansing breath in through your noise and count. Exhale slowly through your mouth for twice as long. Continue for five minutes.
- Slowly and deliberately cross your legs and arms. Feel the sensations of you controlling your body.
- ***Call a friend and talk to them about something you have recently done together or want to do together.
- Take a warm, relaxing bubble bath or shower and pay attention to the water touching your body.
- Light a candle of your favorite scent or visit a place with enjoyable smells (bakery, coffee shop, etc.)
- Verbalize the following “It was just thought or memory.” “It’s over now.” “I am safe now.” Give yourself permission to not think about it right now.
- ***Realize that no matter how small you feel, you are an adult. Envision yourself being safe, strong, and capable.
- Find your pulse on your wrist or neck and count the beats per minute.
- ***Go outside. If it’s warm, feel the sun shining down on your face. If it’s cold, feel the breeze tickle against your skin. How does it make your body feel? Sit against a tree. Feel the bark pressing against your back. Smell the outside aromas like the grass and leaves. Run your fingers through the grass.
- ***Hold something that you find comforting, a stuffed animal or a blanket. Notice how it feels in your hands.
- Go outside and watch the clouds or go for a walk.
- Get active. Do the dishes, clean your room, or redecorate. Organize your dresser or closet.
- ***Pet or play with an animal. If you don’t have one, visit a friend, pet store, or shelter.
- ***Listen to a familiar, comforting music and sing along to it. Dance to it.

Happy Tuesday friends! This week we take a look at the do's and don'ts of overthinking. It all boiled down to DO ACT, don't overthink. Listen in to learn ways to be more active and less of an overthinker.
Remember, we're on this journey together so never think you're the only one. And while you're at it, never forget this, you're worth best case scenario.
Here's the question I mentioned that I'd like you to reflect on: What can you do right now to take even the smallest step towards achieving your most important goal?

There are so many incidents of us Christians who proclaim that we have faith, but don’t behave in such a manner. We say it and we encourage it, but do we practice it? Or, do we become so overwhelmed with things that instead of being full of faith we are full of worry? That may not be any of you so this week I’ll make this a personal episode and focus on me. This week let's discuss how faith [with works|actions] can help eliminate worry and overthinking.
Here's your Don’t You Worry Your Pretty Little Head Technique. Make sure you do this three times a day: once in the morning, once at bedtime, and the third time where you want to fit it in your day.
"Inhale peace and exhale worry.
Inhale confidence and exhale doubt.
Inhale faith and exhale fear.
Inhale peace and exhale anxiety.
What I am worrying about and overthinking in this season, God has already worked out in another season."

One thing at a time. One thought at a time. One task at a time. Oh, now you remember? Sound familiar? Yes, it was the DYWYPLH technique from last episode. When those thoughts started racing and things started clashing causing you to overthink, did you stop yourself and say, one thing at a time. One thought at a time. One task at a time. If you not, it’s okay, I didn’t either; at least not every single time. We are all a work in progress so we will keep at it just as we do for all the other DYWYPLH techniques we’re exploring. This episode I want to take a little more time with this technique to explain why it’s SO (emphasis on the so) important.

Happy Tuesday y'all. Y'all, please extend me some grace for missing last week. I'm back this week with an episode that I hope helps us increase gratitude and helps us embrace the moments we are living right now. It's easy to get fixated on what's to come or what we want next, but it robs us of enjoying what we have right now. Listen, tomorrow it coming, but what's going to make tomorrow most valuable is embracing, enjoying, and living in what we have today. I'm making a commitment to show more gratitude for what I have now and not rush what's to come. Will you join me?

Happy Tuesday! I'm really excited about this episode. My "life long" friends joined the conversation. It was a really interesting conversation about the various areas of our lives where we find ourselves overthinking, but we also shined a light on the areas we don't overthink about; a pretty interesting twist. I was happy to welcome Ebony (my middle sister), Latanya (my friend and line sister), and Tamika (my friend and line sister).
Note: We were on vacation having a good time recording this at midnight. Please excuse our blooper moments. It's still a really good episode. Happy listening!

Happy August!!!!!!! Yay! My favorite month of the year, next to December of course. Listen to the episode to find out why (inserts excited squeal lol).
So, today I'm using my poor eating habits to help us on this journey to undo overthinking. That's gonna be fun lol. Putting all my bad eating business out there. Anywho, you'll see the comparison makes sense. If I need to "watch what I eat" surely watching what I think should be just as important.
Today, I also shared a story from a listener. If you have feedback that will help our friend, go over to the IG page (@thinkyourselfcrazy) and drop our girl a few nuggets. Remember, you can send in your story or question as well. The directions are below. I'd love to hear from you.

Hey there friends! This week we are continuing our chat about Suicide Awareness and Prevention with Ikea. Ikea shares her story and it promises to bless all that listen. I'm so glad she stepped outside of her comfort zone to share with me so that her story can help anyone that struggles with suicidal ideation. I have lots of favorite parts from this episode, but I think one of the top favs is the You Are Board. Once you hear about it, I strongly encourage you to create your very own You Are Board.
Ikea, I know this wasn't easy for you, but I'm so glad you used your voice on Think Yourself Crazy. My prayer is that God keeps reminding you of who you are so that you continue to stay in the fight. It was a pleasure spending time with you!

Tarah joins us on Think Yourself Crazy and shares her very personal story of suicide and how she rediscovered her will to live.

Hey there! So y'all, I sat with my friend/soror, Keisha Roberson, and we had a good chat; one I think is extremely necessary. I've been encountering so many individuals who are currently experiencing suicidal ideation. They really think it's the only solution to the problems they are facing. As a professional and a person, this really breaks my heart. These encounters have made an impression on me to begin a conversation about suicide awareness and prevention on Think Yourself Crazy. This is only the beginning; there are so many more episodes and discussion to come regarding this topic. Why? Because your life is so valuable (you're worth best case scenario) and I want you here. So, if it takes me taking time to provide information to make you more aware and present preventative measures, I'm going to do just that. I want you to tune in to this episode in case any of the information can help you or someone you know. Y'all, suicide is a serious matter, I want us to be the help someone else may need. If you're in crisis and need assistance please call 1-800-273-TALK (8255) or text HELLO to 741741.
So, bare with me, it's for a good reason. We will get back to our regular schedule/routine soon, I promise. But for me, this is a priority!

When we are aware of an issue we have better chances of resolving it, right? At least that's what I've been told lol. No, really, awareness empowers us to resolve problems. On today's episode we talk about how awareness helps eliminate stress, which will help us #stopthatish when it comes to our unfavorite behavior, overthinking.
In case you want to jot them down, here's our Don't You Worry Your Pretty Little Head Technique questions for the week:
- What is the story I am telling myself about this?
- What do I know to be true? How can I ground in the facts, not the what-ifs or maybes?
- What are some alternatives to the story I am telling myself?
- What more do I need to find out to see if the story is true? Reminder: We want your overthinking stories and questions. Click the link [https://form.jotform.com/220535381824151] to share your story or ask your question so that you can be an active participant with Think Yourself Crazy!

If you're a believer, like me, you've probably heard this before, "if you're going to worry, don't pray and if you're going to pray, don't worry." No matter how often I hear that, somehow I still worry when I pray and pray when I worry. I know it's a waste, but I do. Well, I'm going to #stopthatish too!
In today's episode, I share the revelation of God perfecting the things that concern me (Psalms 138:7-8). And that concern you too. Those things we spend countless hours overthinking about, He's perfecting all those things because of His love for us. So, my dear listener, #stopthatish and rest in knowing it's all working together for your good!

You know what I've learned, you don't really understand something is too much until you're in the thick of it. And I'm realizing, in the thick of overthinking, it's too much. Today, I share a little more information that helps grow our understanding of overthinking so this thing can stop wearing us out, or like the young people say, draining us! Enough is enough, we gotta #stopthatish!
Make sure you check out the Don't Worry Your Pretty Little Head (DWYPLH) technique. This week we are giving overthinking and worry a limited/isolated time in our day by creating a "Thought Time." Let's see if this one helps us.

In today's episode Tarkisha provides more information about overthinking. We go a little deeper into what causes overthinking and how it affects us. You may not be surprised as you begin to see the close knit link between anxiety and overthinking; it can become a seemingly never-ending cycle. But remember we're going to #stopthatish! How? By Thought Taming and getting into our Don't Worry Your Pretty Little Head technique for the week. Make sure you're practicing and implementing for ultimate results.
Y'all, I must say this. This podcast, and to be frank, no others, serve as a substitute for therapy. Although you're learning skills, practicing those skills, and implementing them doesn't negate the fact that you may need therapy. Please search for a provider. Use Think Yourself Crazy as a tool not the complete resolution.

Today, Tarkisha shares information about overthinking to provide more insight into the topic. Listen in to learn the definition of overthinking, pros (yep, there are a few) and cons of overthinking, as well as be able to identify if overthinking is a problem for you (information used from Stop Overthinking: 23 Techniques to Relieve Stress, Stop Negative Spirals, Declutter Your Mind, and Focus on the Present by Nick Trenton). Tarkisha also shares an "oops" moment, which happened with episode 1 that sent her into an overthinking tizzy. Also, don't forget your Don't Worry Your Pretty Little Head homework. Here are your Thought Affirmations to repeat until the next episode (or forever is cool with me :)) 1. I'm worth best case scenario so I will only think positively about my situation! 2. My thoughts become action so I will think favorably so I act favorably! 3. Create your own. Remember, you are worth best case scenario, and I won't let you forget it! ***Have overthinking stories you'd like to share or questions that need answers?! I've made the process easier.
