### ✨Network Event — Overthinking & the Duality of the Mind
Why do so many of us spend our precious lives enchanted and bewitched by the spell of familiar thoughts, while the people we love wait quietly for our presence?
Re:
The Content of Your Mind Determines The Quality of Your Life
### 🧠⚖️
This gathering explores counterproductive overthinking through a lens many of us recognize — the duality of the mind.
Most people experience this inner contrast:
- 🧘♀️ A calm, observing presence that can steady and guide
- 🌪️ A restless narrator that worries, critiques, replays, and spirals
Rather than trying to silence or “fix” the mind, we’ll explore how mindfulness can act as a protective capacity 🛡️🧠 — helping us meet overthinking with clarity, containment, and choice.
Together, we’ll explore:
- 🔍 What counterproductive overthinking actually is (and what it isn’t)
- 🧠 The role of the Default Mode Network (DMN) — the brain’s background narrator
- 🔄 How rumination differs from reflection
This is a network-wide conversation welcoming people with varied backgrounds and levels of experience.
There’s no expectation to speak or share — 👂 listening quietly is a full form of participation.
Come curious ✨
Come as you are 🌱
Bring your mind — exactly as it is 🧠💫
