i have significantly improved my overthinking in recent years and it didn’t come from turning my brain off it came from acting with less time between learning new information and making a decision and often we know the right action for us very, very early on. it’s simply a question of getting out of your own way and acting with purpose so what might feel like it’s impulsive, is actually probably an appropriate amount of time spent pondering most decisions are reversible and rarely set in stone

This was really helpful! I’m a chronic overthinker, and something that’s helped me is remembering that success doesn’t come from always having the perfect solution. It comes from taking action, staying in motion, and making decisions that are "good enough" especially as new information comes in

Bingo! Love that idea of decisions being “good enough” rather than perfect. More likely to make consistent progress as opposed to always being stuck in analysis paralysis….
