We are approaching the end of the first month of 2026. Usually, this is the time when the "New Year energy" begins to evaporate. The gym crowds thin out, the planners get left on nightstands, and the old, familiar voice of the inner critic starts to whisper: "See? You couldn't keep it up."
When you feel disconnected from your physical self, your brain begins to perceive your "to-do list" as a threat. The prefrontal cortex (the part of your brain that plans) gets hijacked by the amygdala (the part that feels fear). Suddenly, answering an email or opening your planner feels like a high-stakes survival event.
There are days when the alarm goes off, but the bed feels like lead. There are mornings when the "grief fog" is so thick you can’t remember what you had planned for breakfast, let alone what you wanted to achieve for the year.
When the overthinking loop spins out of control, it’s easy to feel mentally adrift. The secret to interrupting that cycle isn't to think harder or reason with the worry; it’s to use your body and senses to yank your mind out of the past/future and firmly into the here and now.
