Hello ,
Let’s talk about something that’s probably holding you back right now
Here's the thing: Overthinking.
If you keep second-guessing your plans, it will hold you back.
We all get stuck in our heads, wondering, 'Should I do this? Should I not?' But here’s the truth: All that hesitation is only slowing you down from making progress.
So, stop thinking so much and just take action!"
Overthinking delays progress. I have always known this to be true theoretically but it became more practical to me lately when I started yielding more to the power of action and enjoying the benefits of doing things, even when it feels difficult and I start overthinking.
An example I want to share is something that happened to me earlier this week. So, I get up very early each day, and that day, I still wanted to get up early but I felt so tired.
Everything in my body was screaming, “Don’t get up!” But I think I’ve nearly mastered the art of just doing it, lol, regardless of what my body tells me. 🫣😅 So, that day I got up reluctantly.
I have learnt that most days, we have to just move.
The truth is, every day I get up very early, I have so many excuses not to, but as the day progresses and as my day unfolds, I look back and think, “Thank God I got up when I did, and thank God I didn’t overthink and procrastinate.”
The point here is simple: you have to stop overthinking and just get up.
In fact, I’ve been reading a book lately, the title is “Let Them” by Mel Robbins and she advices that when we begin to overthink, count five, four, three, two, one, and just do it.
Whether it’s making that phone call or turning in that application, the 5-second rule is the key: Do what you have to do. Start moving.
Once you gain momentum, things become easier. You’ll learn the best way to do it or the most efficient way to do it – but first, you have to stop overthinking.
So, here’s my challenge for you today: The moment you finish reading this, go do something you’ve been overthinking about. Spend five seconds, five minutes, just doing it. Kickstart the momentum of your day.
Five, four, three, two, one – go.
That’s my charge for you today. Take action now.
Know that I’m rooting for you! Keep shining and have a blessed week!
Warm Regards,
Olamidotun VO.
