THE OVERTHINKERS TOOLKIT: 23 Proven Techniques to Break Free from Stress, Worry, and Mental Spirals
The Overthinker’s Toolkit: 23 Proven Techniques to Break Free from Stress, Worry, and Mental Spirals
By Eric Glas
Formats: eBook / Paperback / Hardback
Stop Fighting Your Brain. Start Living Your Life.
You’ve tried everything.
“Just stop worrying.”
“Think positive.”
“Live in the moment.”
But none of it works—because overthinking isn’t a switch you can turn off with willpower. It’s a biological feedback loop. And to break it, you don’t need platitudes. You need the right tools.
The Overthinker’s Toolkit is not a book of vague philosophy or feel-good advice. It is a practical, results-focused manual containing 23 specific, actionable techniques designed to interrupt your body’s stress response and quiet your mind—often within minutes.
Whether you’re lying awake at 2 a.m. with racing thoughts, frozen in analysis paralysis over a simple decision, or replaying a conversation for the hundredth time, this book gives you the exact tool for the moment you’re in.
What You Will Learn
This book is organized as a modular system. You don’t need to master meditation or practice for weeks to see results. You use what works, when you need it.
You will learn how to:
Sleep Instantly
Use the 4-7-8 Sleep Breath and the Mental Movie Technique to shut down insomnia when your mind won’t turn off.
Stop Panic in Under Five Minutes
Apply the 5-4-3-2-1 Grounding Method to break anxiety spirals by interrupting overwhelming sensory input.
Cure Decision Paralysis
Stop agonizing over choices using the Two-Option Limit and the 10-10-10 Rule to regain clarity and move forward with confidence.
Silence the Inner Critic
Use Thought Defusion and the Fact vs. Story Test to detach from negative self-talk and stop catastrophic thinking.
Prevent Burnout Before It Starts
Implement a simple Daily Mental Hygiene Practice and Worry Journaling Protocol to keep stress from building up in the first place.
Why This Book Is Different
Most anxiety and overthinking books explain why you feel this way.
The Overthinker’s Toolkit shows you how to stop it.
Author Eric Glas breaks down the neuroscience of overthinking into clear, usable strategies you can apply immediately. Think of this book as a menu—you don’t have to use every technique. Your job is to test them, find what works for your specific brain, and build a personal system for calm, clarity, and control.
Don’t let another day disappear into a mental spiral.
Build your toolkit and take back control of your mind.
