Overthinking can turn one small thought into hours of worry. LiveNow helps you slow that cycle down, look at what’s actually happening, and take one small step back into the present. When something is stuck in your head, write down what you’re thinking and let LiveNow guide you through a simple reset. HOW LIVENOW WORKS • Write what’s on your mind Put the thought into words — freely and without judgment. • Understand the thought LiveNow helps you look at what may be driving the worry, separate what you know from what you’re assuming, and see the situation more clearly. • Reframe your perspective Explore more realistic ways of looking at the thought and choose the perspective that feels most believable to you. • Take one small step Choose a simple action you can take right now to interrupt the cycle and shift your attention forward. YOUR MOMENTS Each completed reset becomes part of your journey. Look back at previous moments, see what was on your mind, and reflect on whether it was really worth overthinking. SEE YOUR PATTERNS Insights help you see your patterns over time, including your completed moments, active days, worries released, and the actions you use most. BUILT FOR REAL MOMENTS LiveNow is for the everyday thoughts that are difficult to let go of — waiting for a reply, replaying a conversation, worrying about what someone thinks, second-guessing yourself, or getting caught in “what if?” You don’t need to solve everything at once. One thought. One reset. One small step forward. Stop Overthinking. Start Living. SUBSCRIPTION REQUIRED LiveNow requires an active subscription to access its core features, including Resets, AI-generated reflections and reframes, Moments, and Insights.
