STOP Overthinking!

by Shaolinsteve

Everybody wants advice, but nobody wants to
do the work. If you cut down the time you spend
debating whether this would work, or this...

And actually spent that time actively pursuing
what you want, how much farther ahead do you
think you would be?

People steer off track most of the time because
their vision of their reason why is not clear. If you
lack the motivation and keep bouncing around,
then you've lost your reason why.

If you don't know your reason why, then you're
setting yourself up for failure already. The problem
is often that people complain about certain things
in their life, but they don't do anything to change it.

So...

They become the reason for why they struggle,
and for why they're not successful.

Be responsible...

Challenge yourself to start THINKING LESS, and
start doing more.

    This used to be my problem. I would think about a project and cross it out before implementing because it didn't seem realistic.

    But then i realized that most big goals that i had were unrealistic.

    From making any income online, to making my first $1000...then $3000...then $5000

    Once your thoughts start eating away at your drive to get a project going, you just need to start acting period.

    I've failed more times than i'd like to count, but I 100% prefer those countless fails to the thought of where I might be had I never actually taken the first step.

      Well said. A lot can be gained from experience as well as it being a pain in the A

    That's the power of the mind for you. Although it's good to be smart, and educated. It's not good to be the person who stays analyzing everything and never gets anything done. I used to always be like this. I've learned what works best for this is whatever you learn, go and implement it immediately, than don't think about it again. The more you think about it when you are doing something the higher the failure rate. Overthinking does more harm than good.

    Wow - this is so me. Over-thinking and over-analyzing and perfectionism. Great photo. Will need to print this one and keep it on my desk to remind myself. This is why coaching is so helpful - to get someone to tell you to get out of your own way

    Always stay busy taking action.

    When you get complacent and stop taking action you will become consumed with thoughts of doubt. Just stop thinking and start taking action right now. When you're actually focused on taking action you'll be too busy to doubt yourself or begin overthinking.

    Hi Shaoline,

    Nice!

    Yes, I agree. Take action, make mistakes,
    learn from mistakes. Fail, fail, fail better,
    learn from your failures.

    What do they say.........."Good judgment
    comes from experience. Experience comes
    from bad judgement" (i.e. mistakes).
    You get the idea.

    Be Well
    Don

    Very true, this was the biggest thing holding me back in the beginning and now because I can see the characteristics and how to just push through them without that 'pat on the back' you accomplish so much more. Not everything you do will work but how will you know unless you just jump in.
