When Overthinking Stops You Before You Even Start

If overthinking has ever gotten you to talk yourself out of doing something before you even started, you’re not alone. In this episode, I’m sharing why our minds spiral into decision paralysis, how perfectionism and anxiety can sabotage our progress, and therapist-approved strategies to help you shift from spiraling thoughts to intentional action.

 

In this episode, you will learn:

• Why overthinking keeps you stuck in place
• How to recognize protective patterns like perfectionism and fear of failure
• Mindful, practical ways to simplify your decisions and move forward
