Do you ever lie in bed at night thinking about a decision you
need to make… playing out everything that could possibly go wrong
in each scenario, walking through each one, in painstaking detail,
terrified of making the wrong choice – only to look over and
realize it’s now 3 a.m.?
Or how about mornings… do you ever sit down at the beginning
of your work day, glance at the to-do list or your schedule and
instantly feel so overwhelmed, not only do you not know where to
begin, but even the idea of figuring it out feels so daunting that
instead of making a decision or making a plan, you do neither and
instead mindlessly scroll on instagram for an hour?
These are examples of overthinking… thinking about something to the
extent that is simply not useful or productive in any way.
Overthinking is a trap that steals our time, our focus, our mental
and emotional health and productivity, and here’s the thing. It
PRETENDS to be necessary.
Your brain wants you to believe that overthinking is somehow
wise or responsible – it is not. In fact, what’s really happening
when you’re overthinking is that the part of your brain designed to
keep you safe and comfortable, is TRYING to keep you comfortable by
having you avoid DOING something – whether that’s making a
decision or taking other meaningful action of some sort, okay?
Again, overthinking pretends to be useful, but it complicates your
business because it’s keeping you from using your time, energy and
attention in the most valuable, most profitable ways.
On this episode of BEYOND, you'll learn:
• Why overthinking pretends to be necessary
• What's really happening when you find yourself stuck in a
cycle of overthinking
• How overthinking complicates our businesses and how this one
piece of mindset work can lead to a simpler business
• The most effective thing you can do at the start of each
morning to avoid analysis paralysis and confusion
• What to do when you're feeling like an inadequate
imposter
• How overthinking relates to not feeling present in our
lives
