Is Overthinking Killing Your Momentum?

One of the most common struggles people face is overthinking.?

?

It’s the root cause of anxiety, stress, and even depression.?

?

When I work with people, the very first thing we focus on is learning to silence the mind.?

?

Why? Because if you can’t hear the thoughts running through your mind, how are you supposed to challenge or change them?

?

Overthinking traps us in two places: the past, filled with guilt and regret, and the future, full of fear and doubt.?

?

Rarely are we focused on now, the only moment we can actually control.

?

This reminds me of a scene from the book, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse.?

?

The boy and the horse are wandering through a dark forest. The trees are thick, the path is unclear, and they’re completely surrounded by darkness.

?

“I can’t see my way forward,” says the boy, feeling lost.

“Can you see your next step?” the horse asks.

“Yes.”

“Then take that,” the horse replies.

?

Step by step, the boy moves forward, still surrounded by darkness but trusting in what he can see.

?

This story reflects life perfectly.?

?

When we overthink, it feels like being lost in a forest, you can’t see the wood for the trees, and the light feels far away.?

?

But when you focus only on the next step, the noise in your mind fades, and clarity starts to return.

?

Overthinking magnifies problems that don’t yet exist.?

?

It keeps us stuck in imaginary scenarios, distracting us from what truly matters.?

?

The first step to overcoming this is becoming aware of the thoughts running your life, and challenging the ones that don’t serve you.

Ask yourself: How is overthinking impacting your life, your decisions, and your well-being?

?

?What would change if you could stop the noise and start choosing your thoughts, emotions, and actions consciously?

?

If you’re ready to get out of the forest and start seeing things clearly again, let’s talk.
