stop overthinking vs My Good Things

stop overthinking is for the moments when your mind won't stop. When you're stuck in thought loops, worrying about what might happen, or replaying a conversation at 3am, this is the app to open. It's built for one problem: thoughts that won't stop running. When it's happening right now Tap "I'm overthinking right now" for a three-minute guided session. It starts straight away and gives your attention somewhere to go while the spiral slows down. Unhook a thought that keeps looping Write the thought down in one sentence. Putting "I'm having the thought that…" in front of it gives you a little distance. Then turn it into one small next step, or park it for later. Park a worry and see how it turns out Pick a time to look at a worry again. When it comes back around, you note whether it turned out to be a problem. In a 2020 Penn State study, nine in ten worries never came true. The app keeps your own count. 21 guided sessions, two to ten minutes - Overthinking Relief: step back from a spiral - Thought Observation: watch your thoughts without getting carried off - Mental Declutter: clear some of the noise - Physiological Sigh: two breaths in and one long breath out, for calming down fast - Body Scan, Box Breathing, and quick resets for when you only have two minutes A journal for when your head is full 60 prompts in six groups: Unload, Soften, Ground, Reframe, Release and Settle.

We're surrounded by Good Things in life, many of them small and fleeting. A piece of music on the radio, a friend's laugh, the view of the garden in a certain light. We add joy to life by noticing them as they happen. My Good Things is how you hold on to them. Tap, type, or just say it out loud. Add a photo if you want. Tag it - People, Places, Views (and more) - so you can find it again. Over time, you'll build a library, a memory of the Good Things in your life. On a wet Tuesday in February, open it and find the song, the laugh, the garden — all still there, exactly as they were.
