Today's Affirmation

​

Obsessive thoughts can feel like a loop you can’t escape.

​
They run in circles, louder and louder, until it feels impossible to quiet them.

​

But today’s affirmation is a reminder of the power we all have:

​
“I overcome obsessive thoughts with rational logic.”

​

The truth is, our minds are incredible storytellers.

​

They can take a single worry and spin it into a full-blown narrative of worst-case scenarios.

​

Left unchecked, those stories can feel real, even when they’re not.

​

This is where rational logic steps in.

​

By pausing and questioning the thought, we create space between what the mind is saying and what’s actually happening.

​

Ask yourself:

• Is this thought true, or just fear in disguise?
• Is it useful, or is it draining my energy?
• Does it guide me forward, or keep me stuck?

​

When you shine the light of logic on a repetitive thought, it often loses its grip.

​

It becomes just that, a thought.

​

Not a command, not a prophecy, not your identity.

​

And from that space, you get to choose what to focus on instead.

​

You can redirect your energy toward what matters most, your values, your goals, the simple joys right in front of you.

Today's Book Pick

📖 Rewire Your Anxious Brain by Catherine M. Pittman and Elizabeth M. Karle

​

This book takes a fascinating dive into how anxiety works in the brain, and more importantly, how to manage it.

​

It explains the two key pathways of fear (the cortex and the amygdala) and gives practical tools for calming each.

​

What I love is that it blends science with actionable strategies. It’s not just about “thinking positively”, it’s about understanding how your brain functions and learning techniques that actually make obsessive or anxious thoughts lose their grip.

​

It fits perfectly with today’s affirmation, because rational logic is one of the best antidotes to runaway thought spirals.

​

By training the mind to question and redirect, you take back the steering wheel.

​

If overthinking has ever stolen your peace, this book is a powerful guide to getting it back.

​
“I overcome obsessive thoughts with rational logic.”

​

Today, remind yourself that you are not at the mercy of your thoughts. You are the observer, the thinker, the one who chooses which thoughts to fuel and which to let drift away.

​

Here’s to choosing clarity over chaos, and reason over rumination.

Gratefully,
