Overthinking can feel relentless. In this episode I share four simple things that help calm a busy mind, from grounding and breathing to reconnecting with the body and nature. Then I explore the deeper reason we overthink — and why the mind often spins when we’re avoiding a feeling.Free 1:1 coaching consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callTools I mention:Shakti Mat: https://www.shaktimat.co.uk/collections/allWeighted blanket: https://snoozetherapy.co.uk/collections/shop-allThe relaxator breath trainer: https://breathandbalance.uk/products/the-relaxator-breath-trainerAyurvedic Abhyanga massage oil: https://naissance.com/collections/massage-oils-1Other links:My book: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Champion-Thinking-Success-Without-Yourself/dp/1526626497/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@IAmSimonMundieSubstack: https://substack.com/@simonmundie?utm_source=user-menuFor energy work with Alex: alex@simonmundie.com

People pleasing often looks kind on the surface. But over time it can lead to exhaustion, resentment - and burnout. In this episode, I explore why people pleasing develops in the first place and why it’s rooted in a childhood strategy to secure love and approval. More importantly, I share a different way of working with the pattern. Instead of trying to force yourself to “stop”, the real shift comes from recognising the deeper fear driving it and learning how to meet that feeling directly. When you do, something surprising happens: the pattern begins to soften, and the approval you’ve been chasing outside yourself becomes far less important. If you struggle to say no, overcommit, or feel responsible for other people’s emotions, this episode will help you understand why - and what actually leads to lasting change.To explore this work more deeply, you can book a free 15 minute 1:1 consultation here: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-call

In this episode, Alex and I share a five-month update since my awakening experience - and how it’s actually showing up in our relationship. One of the biggest misconceptions about spiritual awakening is that it removes triggers or makes you permanently peaceful. That hasn’t been our experience.We talk honestly about what’s changed, what hasn’t, and how old relational patterns still surface - but are met differently. We also share some news about upcoming retreats and what we’re building next.Free 15 minute 1:1 coaching consultation: https://calendly.com/simon-wgw/simon-mundie-intro-callWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnHCpGupiasFollow Alex: https://www.instagram.com/iamalexandrawilby/
