As a rule, thinking is a good thing and while some people don’t do it enough, some over-think everything. Both genders can fall into either category – today we’re going to chat about the one who does too much.
Some people think themselves into stagnation, frustration, exhaustion, anxiety and even illness. They have an aptitude for making the simple, complex, the easy, hard, the minor issue, a major drama and the pain-less, pain-full.
Here’s a few tips to help you deal with your Over-Thinking-Ness:
1. Stop waiting for perfection.
2. Don’t assume.
3. Be more proactive; do stuff!
4. Ask yourself the right type of questions.
5. Have a sounding board.
6. Create a plan and totally commit to it.
7. Stop rationalising, justifying and explaining.
8. Keep a Success Diary.
9. Get out of your thoughts.
10. With all the thoughts traveling around in your head, some of them should be evicted, others are stuck and are too scared to come out.
