814 |  From Overthinking to Action: Break the Cycle of Suffering

In this episode, I dive into the powerful distinction between pain and suffering, a topic that has resonated with many of you after I shared a thought-provoking quote on my social media. The quote, "Pain is inevitable. Suffering is a choice," has taken on new meaning for me, and I want to explore it further with you. Throughout the episode, I stress that suffering is an energy leak that can hinder our progress and well-being. I encourage listeners to call themselves out when they find themselves stuck in an overthinking cycle and choose action instead. I highlight the importance of learning from our experiences, even the painful ones, as they contribute to our growth and understanding of ourselves.
