Don't overthink

Don't overthink

Trying too hard to make the perfect choice causes analysis paralysis. When we overanalyze every decision to avoid any kind of regret, it paralyzes us into indecision... that's how people end up wasting their lives. 

"What if... that means... but then... also... Oh, I've circled back.. but..."

Becoming aware of yourself overthinking anything is the first step to stop doing it.

Make small decisions & decide often

Make small decisions & decide often
