The Moment Before Your Thoughts Take Over

The Moment Before Your Thoughts Take Over

You know that moment when something happens and your heart starts racing, your chest tightens, or your throat closes up — and before you know it, your mind is already spinning?

In this episode, we’re slowing down and focusing on that exact moment — the space between what you feel in your body and the thoughts that rush in to explain it.

Our nervous system responds first. The body feels it first. And when we jump too quickly into thinking, reasoning, or explaining, we often miss what our body is trying to do: settle, release energy, and feel safe again.

In this episode, we talk about:

  • Why the body reacts before the brain

  • How thinking too soon can keep reactions going

  • Letting the body finish its process before reasoning

  • Sitting with sensations instead of immediately explaining them

  • How this shift creates real space to choose how you respond

This isn’t about stopping your thoughts or avoiding logic.
It’s about timing.

When the body feels safe first, the brain works better.

Try catching that split second — and letting the body go first.
