About this listen
Feeling like every little thing could topple the whole day? This episode reframes “It’s not that serious” as a practical way to conserve your care for what actually matters. We look at why the brain overreacts, negativity bias, common thinking glitches like catastrophizing, all-or-nothing thinking, and mind reading, and how to create a little space between the moment and the story your mind writes about it. You’ll get simple, research-informed tools you can use on the spot: the 10-10-10 rule to zoom out, distanced self-talk (à la Ethan Kross) to quiet the inner chatter, and “Name the Story” to take the spin out of spirals. Expect clear examples, zero hype, and a return to a steadier baseline, so you can notice the good, handle the real, and let the rest pass.
