You’re lying in bed. Your body is exhausted, but your mind is replaying things you wish you’d said in a conversation earlier that day, rehearsing conversations that haven’t even happened, or mentally writing tomorrow’s to-do list.
Sound familiar?
You’re not broken.
You’re not alone.
And you’re not powerless.
In this week’s episode of the Healthy Looks Great on You podcast, I’m joined by my friend Carol Feil to talk about something so many of us struggle with:
Episode 168: How to Stop Spinning Thoughts So You Can Sleep
Inside, we unpack: Why your thoughts spin out of control, especially at night.
How people-pleasing, perfectionism, and fear fuel mental loops
What it means to recognize a thought… and replace it
The power of scripture, stillness, and reframing
Why controlling your thoughts during the day is the key to sleeping at night
Mental overload affects more than sleep.It also affects relationships, health, and sense of peace.
If you’ve ever felt hijacked by your own mind, this episode is for you.
Listen now to Episode 168:
You can change the soundtrack in your mind for restful sleep.
