Overthinking Again? Try This Instead.
For the last 2,500 years, we’ve been trained to reason through everything. We believe we must have a solid explanation for every decision.
This approach is great when you’re already moving and just need to tweak your direction, but it can hold you back when you’re feeling stuck.
Overthinking keeps you trapped in a loop of doubt and hesitation.
Sometimes, the answer isn’t found through logic—it’s found in action.
Instead of waiting for the “right” moment or the “perfect” plan, try something different:
Act on intuition.
Trust your instincts, even if you don’t have all the answers upfront.
Start now, think later. If you’re not hurting anyone, you’re going to be okay.
“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”
When you give yourself permission to act without overanalyzing, you create momentum.
And momentum is what gets you unstuck. You can always course-correct later. The important part is starting.
No matter what.
So, today, let your intuition lead. Don’t wait for a reason. Just move. You might surprise yourself with where it takes you.
