Description

Caught in a thought loop? Overthinking a decision, problem, or conversation—again? This episode explores why trying to “outthink thinking” only fuels mental overload, and what to do instead.

Ben Johnson shares grounded tools from the LeanMind approach to help you shift out of overwhelm, regulate your emotional state, and access real clarity. Drawing on Buddhist wisdom, Einstein’s creativity, and real-world leadership pressure, you'll learn how to reset fast—especially when you're anxious, triggered, or burned out.

Whether you're leading a team, stuck in indecision, or lying awake at 3:42 am, this is a practical guide to coming back to your senses—literally.

Key themes:
overthinking • burnout • decision fatigue • clarity • thought loops • mindfulness • leadership tools • sensory reset • emotional regulation • daily pause • LeanMind
