Who is guilty of replaying a story over and over, knowing full well it is not helping us personally or anyone else………
This extract really struck a cord yesterday, so I went and found the image to make it really stick in my mind!
To overcome overthinking, Pittman recommends you replace the thought. âTelling yourself to not to have a certain thought is not the way to not have the thought,â she says.âYou need to replace the thought.â What if she were to tell you to stop thinking about pink elephants? What are you going to think about? Thatâs right: pink elephants. If you donât want to think about a pink elephant, conjure up an image of, say, a tortoise. âMaybe thereâs a big tortoise holding a rose in its mouth as it crawls,â says Pittman. âYouâre not thinking about pink elephants now.â

About Me
Hi, my name is Karen McDonald and I am a qualified accountant and probably best known as owner of Cascade Consulting, a business that has helped many businesses (including a lot of law firms) over the last 20 years.I run an accounting and tax practice, where we aim to empower our clients to understand their finances and lighten the load of compliance.
In 2011, I founded Wise Owl Legal Practice Management as a response to seeing so many lawyers caught up with the struggle of old, out-of-date and inefficient software. I believe software should lighten your load and empower you to focus on your core mission.
If you would like to learn more about how I could help your law firm in either the accounting or practice management space (or both), please click here to book a complimentary chat with me.
