Anxiety and overthinking are like constant background noise—buzzing, looping, and hijacking your inner calm. Even when things are fine on the outside, your mind might still be racing on the inside, analyzing every conversation, every decision, every “what if.”
As someone who has walked this road personally and guided many through it as a coach, I know how exhausting it can be. But I also know that healing doesn’t come from silencing the mind—it comes from listening to it differently.
In this blog, I’ll share a mindful, heart-centered approach to anxiety relief. Blending Ho’oponopono meditation with conscious storytelling, I’ve helped creators, coaches, and professionals stop spiraling and start softening. If your mind has been running the show, this may be the space you need to return to your center.
Q1: What is overthinking really telling us?
Overthinking is not the problem—it’s a symptom. It’s often the mind’s way of trying to feel safe or prepared. But behind it lies fear, insecurity, or an unmet need for reassurance. In my coaching sessions, we explore what your thoughts are trying to protect. Once you listen without judgment, the volume naturally begins to dial down.
Q2: How does Ho’oponopono help with anxiety and racing thoughts?
Ho’oponopono works on a vibrational level. It gently interrupts the mental noise with a loving pattern. When you say the four phrases—“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”—you speak to your subconscious and begin healing the root of the anxiety, not just the symptoms. It’s not about controlling the thoughts—it’s about soothing what lies beneath them.
Q3: Can you share a client story where overthinking was eased through this practice?
A client of mine used to replay every conversation she had—worrying she said something wrong, fearing she was misunderstood. Through daily Ho’oponopono meditation and mindful journaling, she began meeting those thoughts with compassion. Gradually, she stopped obsessing and started trusting herself again. Her transformation became one of the most powerful episodes I shared on the Luxury Unplugged Podcast.
Q4: What’s the spiritual cause behind chronic anxiety?
Spiritually, anxiety signals disconnection from the present moment. It’s often rooted in future fear—what might go wrong, how you’ll be perceived, or whether you’re “enough.” I’ve found that reconnecting with your breath, your truth, and your worth is the first step to spiritual realignment—and Ho’oponopono gently brings you there.
Q5: How do I begin practicing mindfulness with Ho’oponopono during anxious moments?
Begin by pausing. Breathe deeply. Place your hand over your heart or forehead. Then whisper the phrases slowly—“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.” This is not a magic fix, but a compassionate shift. You’re not trying to “get rid” of the anxiety. You’re offering it kindness.
Q6: What role does storytelling play in overcoming anxiety and overthinking?
We are all telling ourselves stories—about who we are, what will happen, and what others think. If your inner story is rooted in fear or perfectionism, anxiety will grow. As a Business Storytelling Coach, I guide clients to rewrite these stories. Ho’oponopono clears the emotional charge, and then we replace the fear with truth, trust, and grounded self-worth.
Q7: What if the overthinking gets worse before it gets better?
This can happen. When you begin healing, your nervous system might resist because it’s used to chaos. That’s okay. Stay consistent. Use Ho’oponopono like a lullaby for your mind. Over time, your inner voice shifts from criticism to compassion—and that’s where freedom begins.
Q8: How can I use journaling to go deeper with this practice?
Journaling is one of the most effective companions to Ho’oponopono. Try this prompt:
“Dear mind, what are you afraid of?”
Let it speak freely. Then, respond with the four phrases. This dialogue between your conscious self and your anxious mind creates emotional space and clarity.
Q9: What’s one belief I should release to feel more mentally calm?
Release the belief that you must control everything. Control is the root of overthinking. When you begin trusting that you can handle whatever arises, your mind no longer needs to predict every outcome. Ho’oponopono reminds you that peace doesn’t come from certainty—it comes from presence.
Q10: What’s one thing I would say to someone overwhelmed with anxiety and overthinking today?
You are not broken. You are overstimulated, overextended, and in need of deep inner kindness. The thoughts in your head are not who you are—they are simply echoes of old stories. Sit with yourself, breathe, and say:
“I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Thank you. I love you.”
And keep saying it until you remember how safe it is to be you.
Final Thoughts: Quiet the Mind, Open the Heart
Anxiety and overthinking aren’t enemies to conquer. They are signals from your inner world—asking for attention, safety, and softness. With Ho’oponopono, you’re not erasing the thoughts. You’re rewiring your relationship with them.
You don’t need to fight your mind. You need to love it into balance.
So next time your thoughts spin out of control, pause and whisper:
“I’m sorry.
Please forgive me.
Thank you.
I love you.”
Let your breath deepen. Let your heart open. Let the peace return.
