How Overthinking Drains Your Confidence

Send us a text

In this episode, we explore how overthinking erodes confidence and how to replace it with decisive action. Research, like the Columbia jam study, shows fewer choices lead to faster decisions and greater self-trust. Overthinking creates anxiety, drains mental energy, and reinforces avoidance, while even small actions boost dopamine and confidence. Reframe the need for perfect certainty—progress comes from testing and learning. Practical strategies include limiting options, setting decision deadlines, using the 70% rule, and debriefing quickly. Confidence grows through repetition, so take small, actionable steps daily. Try this week’s tips: the 5-minute rule, a decision checklist, focused work blocks, and tracking wins. Remember, confidence isn’t about overthinking - it’s built by acting, learning, and trusting yourself. You’ve got this!
