stop overthinking is for the moments when your mind will not stop. When you are stuck in thought loops, worrying about the future, or replaying a conversation at 3am, this app is what you open. It is not a general meditation app. It is built for one problem: anxiety that runs on words. WHEN IT IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW Tap "I'm overthinking right now" for a guided three-minute grounding session. No setup, no long introduction. Just somewhere to put your attention while the spiral loses speed. UNHOOK A THOUGHT THAT KEEPS LOOPING Write the thought down in one sentence. Seeing it as something you are having, rather than something you are, loosens its grip. Then decide: turn it into one small next step, or park it. PARK THE WORRY, THEN SEE WHAT HAPPENED A postponed worry loses its charge. When a parked thought comes back around, you record whether it turned out to be a problem. In a 2020 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 thoughts without being carried off by them - Mental Declutter: clear the noise - Physiological Sigh: the fastest known way to downshift - Body Scan, Box Breathing, and quick resets for when you only have two minutes JOURNALING THAT ACTUALLY HELPS 60 prompts across six categories: Unload, Soften, Ground, Reframe, Release and Settle. Unload is a plain brain dump for when your head is too full and you need somewhere to vent. The prompts rotate daily. Speak instead of typing when writing feels like too much. BREATHING YOU FOLLOW WITH YOUR EYES An animated guide for four in, six out, and other patterns. No audio, so it works in a meeting or on a train. SHORT READS ON WHY THE MIND LOOPS 14 two-minute ideas drawn from "Don't Believe Everything You Think" and the clinical work that agrees with it: metacognitive therapy, worry postponement, cognitive defusion. CHECK IN, AND SEE THE PATTERN Ten seconds to name how your mind feels and what is behind it. Over a week you start to see when the overthinking arrives, and what tends to set it off. NO PRESSURE. NO STREAKS. This is your space. Use it when you need it, however feels right. No guilt, no gamification, no forced daily habits. Whether you are lying awake at 3am, tense and stressed before a meeting, or just foggy, this gives you something to do about it. Your entries and your mental health notes stay on your device. You are doing better than you think.

About

My Good Things

Features
Read full description

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.
