Overcoming Overthinking

About this event

**Overcoming Overthinking: Finding Peace Beyond the Noise** **September 17th- October 8th** Get out of your head and into your heart. Overthinking is a habit that keeps us stuck—fueling restless mental activity, anxiety, doubt, and over-analysis that can leave us feeling emotionally drained and disconnected from others. Instead of helping us solve our problems, excessive thinking often magnifies fear, uncertainty, and self-criticism, making it difficult to relax, make decisions, or enjoy our life. Buddhist meditation offers a different approach. Rather than trying to control every thought, we can learn how to step back from unhelpful mental patterns and develop a calmer, more spacious mind. **Class Schedule** **Thursday, September 17**: *Why Can’t I Stop Thinking?* Understand the nature of overthinking and why the mind becomes trapped in repetitive mental loops. **Thursday, September 24**: *Quieting the Inner Noise* Learn meditations and practical methods to calm anxiety, worry, and mental busyness. **Thursday, October 1:** *Letting Go of Fear and Control* Discover how attachment, uncertainty, and fear fuel overthinking—and how to release them. **Thursday, October 8**: *Living with a Peaceful Heart* Develop confidence, clarity, and inner balance so you can respond to life with greater ease and wisdom. **Class Format** * Guided breathing meditation followed by a short chanted prayer 'Liberating Prayer.' * Teaching on the particular class topic * Question & Answer * Concluding meditation * Dedication & Advice on how to incorporate the meditation into daily life **REGISTRATION** Standard: $12 Free for [Members](https://meditation-dc.org/membership/) [Pre-Register Here](https://meditation-dc.org/thursday-evenings/) Each class is available by drop in.
