Overthinking – The Illusions we create in our minds…

If you’re anything like me, overthinking is a way of life. You cannot understand how someone can simply think about something for a rational amount of time and make decisions quickly. Your head is full of “what if’s” and “how come’s.” You have probably twisted situations in your mind and then had to deal with the repercussions.

Overthinking is essentially playing games with yourself. You are making yourself believe crazy scenarios that are probably never going to happen.

If you find yourself overthinking, you are not alone. I, for one can totally relate.

But, here’s the thing…

Overthinking leads to procrastination, leads to over-analysing, leads to the death of what could have been. But how do you stop this? Its not just a matter of saying “Stop with the thinking and move on…” As a business owner we are faced daily with decisions we need to make, and quick if we want to survive.

What are the illusions you create that leads you to overthinking in your business and what processes do you take to ‘pull’ you back to reality?
