  • From Cucumber to Chaos – What Overthinking Really Feels Like
    Aug 3 2025

    🥒 A simple thought is like a fresh cucumber.
    But overthinking? It keeps chopping it, spicing it, doubting it… until you forget what the thought even was.

    In this episode of Let’s Enlighten, we talk about how overthinking really works — not in theory, but in everyday moments.
    No jargon. No lectures. Just real reflection.

    🧠 Why overthinking is not thinking “too much” but going “too far”
    🥄 How our mind keeps “cooking” one small doubt into a full-blown identity crisis
    🍅 Why raw thoughts are important — and how to spot them

    This one is for anyone who feels stuck in loops… especially if you're tired of your own mind’s noise.

    🎧 Listen now. Reflect slowly.
