Can Over Thinkers Meditate?

Can people that think a lot really get the benefits from meditation?

Something that would confuse many people when they spend time with me and even my clients is that I am an overthinker. My brain has this ability to think crazy stuff up almost constantly, and most of the time when I don't want it to.

What is it about bedtime? Suddenly everything is important, from how airplanes work to what I'm going to buy my niece in six years' time for her 30th birthday. It's crazy.

In this episode, I helped to enlighten us about meditation and how even over-thinkers can meditate.

About the Podcast

Stillness in the Storms
Helping you find Inner Peace in tough times
Welcome to "Stillness in the Storms," an inspiring journey towards finding inner peace amid life's relentless struggles, hosted by Steven Webb. This isn't just another podcast; it's a sanctuary where the chaotic noise of life mellows into serene silence and profound understanding.

Steven Webb, your guide on this journey, is not your average meditation and mindfulness coach. His life is a testament to resilience and transformation. Severely paralyzed in a diving accident in 1991, Steven did not let his physical condition define him. Instead, he used it as a springboard to dive deeper into the realms of human spirit and inner peace.

Now, as a dedicated politician and the Mayor of Truro since 2021, Steven continues to serve and inspire. His teachings are imbued with the wisdom of Zen Buddhism, particularly drawing from the profound words of Alan Watts and Shunryu Suzuki. He also integrates the pragmatic philosophy of Stoicism, inspired by thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, into his practice.

"Stillness in the Storms" is for everyone, but particularly those who find traditional methods of meditation and mindfulness challenging. Steven brings a practical approach, emphasizing that you don't need to escape to distant lands or retreats to find peace. It's right here, in the midst of your daily life.

Each episode illuminates new ways to see life, nudging you gently towards a more peaceful existence, even in the face of adversity. Steven's comforting voice, infused with genuine understanding and compassion, makes the podcast feel like a conversation with a dear friend.
