In this short self‑help video, Dr. Aravind Padmaraju, Ph.D., presents a practical, three‑step method to interrupt chronic overthinking and calm the mind. He first advises viewers to verbalize the state (“I am overthinking”) to create awareness. Next, he guides a grounding exercise that involves naming five visual items, four auditory items, and three tactile sensations, which helps regulate the nervous system. Finally, he recommends a brief 30‑second physical action—such as stretching, deep breathing, or walking—to break the mental loop and provide instant relief. The video concludes with a call to follow for more mental‑health tips.
