In this episode, I talk about the downside of "waking up too much"—overthinking, overanalyzing, and consuming too much information without taking action. Just like showing up too much can be unbalanced, constantly planning and reflecting without implementing can keep us stuck. I share examples of how this happens and explain that real growth comes when we take action, even if it’s imperfect.
I also emphasize the importance of setting boundaries on information intake and recognizing when it's time to shift from thinking to doing. Using personal stories and listener experiences, I show how honesty helps break free from analysis paralysis. The key takeaway is that finding balance between waking up and showing up leads to progress and peace. I invite listeners to join my Accountability Accelerator to start taking action on their goals.
