Stuck replaying the same conversation in your head for the 15th time? Dawn calls it "looping," and it's not just annoying, it's triggering real cortisol and stress in your body.

In Daily Dose 3, Dawn breaks down what overthinking actually does physically, why spinning your wheels leaves you exhausted with nothing to show for it, and her go-to rescue moves: singing, unrelated conversation, or a solid nap when nothing else cuts the loop. Simple tools to snap out of your own head, fast.

If this helped, follow the show so the next Dose finds you automatically.
