Just keep it simple.

Let's face it.

We all like to overcomplicate things.

We believe each one of our goals needs to have deep planning and complex solutions.

That everything is not as easy as it seems.

In fact, if something is not complex enough,we immediately think it's not a good solution to our problems.

I know.

I used to be like that.

See, a couple of years ago, I decided to start living a healthier life.

I was working way too many hours back then, and my body was starting to pay the consequences

So, I decided to start exercising more and change my eating habits.

Problem was I didn't just get up the next morning and go for a run...

That's what I should've done.

Instead, I got all stressed about what the best course of action was...

I started looking for the best gyms in my area.

I looked online for the best routines that would allow me to get results faster.

I researched the best diets available and their pros and cons.

I researched all the pros and cons of the best diets available.

By the way, I was doing all of this from my couch with a pack of chips next to me.

Basically, I made the whole process harder than it actually was.

In the meantime, I wasn't getting any healthier.

I wasn't getting any closer to changing my habits.

I was just wasting my time overcomplicating things that should not be complicated at all.

Fortunately, I realized this early enough to do something about it.

The solution had always been in front of me.

I just didn't want to see it because it was just too "easy".

All I had to do was to keep things simple.

To start with what I had.

I realized that overthinking my decision was the thing that was holding me back from getting things done.

What I really had to do was start taking action towards my goal.

Then, I would take care of everything else along the way.

And so I did.

Every morning, I'd put on my running shoes and run a couple of miles.

I started going to the gym regularly.

When I stopped thinking about this like rocket science, everything changed for the better.

I started seeing improvements in my overall health.

My energy levels were as high as they had never been before.

All because I stopped overthinking my decisions and started taking action.

So, next time you feel like you are trying to overcomplicate things, just remember.

Just keep it simple.
