Stop the Spiral: A Gentle 21-Day Reset for Overthinking and Mental Load

By Emma Everett

Overthinking doesn't always look dramatic. Sometimes it's a quiet loop at night. A mind that won't stop scanning. A body that stays braced, even when the day is over.

Stop the Spiral is a calm, shame-free 21-day reset for rumination, mental load, and "I can't relax until I fix this." Not a pep talk. Not a perfect morning routine. A small set of repeatable tools that work on real days-especially tired ones.

Each day gives you a gentle reframe and one practical method, with three versions you can choose from:

2 minutes (a tiny rescue for when the spiral is loud)10 minutes (a simple routine that lowers urgency)Bad-day version (the smallest step that still counts)

Inside you'll find tools like:

The 2-Minute Rescue (body → space → next tiny step)The Daily Anchor (2 / 10 / 30 minutes for stress management)The Worry Container (contain worry without suppressing it)The Open Tabs Dump (mental load relief you can feel)The Return Protocol (miss a day-return, don't restart)

This is self-help for people who don't want hype-just steadier evenings, clearer next steps, and a kinder inner voice. If you tend to restart, quit, and try again "on Monday," this book helps you practice something more sustainable: returning on purpose.

Note: This book is not a substitute for professional mental health care.
