How does journaling stop overthinking?

Overthinking loops because the mind keeps re-checking unresolved thoughts. Writing them down externalises the loop — once a thought is safely on the page, your brain can stop rehearsing it.

What is a brain dump?

A brain dump is writing everything on your mind without editing or ordering it. It clears mental clutter quickly and is one of the fastest ways to interrupt a spiral.
