Overthinking doesn’t look dangerous. It feels like planning. Like being careful. Like intelligence. But slowly, I’ve realised it’s one of the most expensive habits I have.
I overthink workouts. Content ideas. Business moves. Even rest. And while I’m busy thinking, time keeps moving.
Overthinking costs me speed. It delays action. I spend hours perfecting things that could’ve been done imperfectly in minutes.
It also costs me peace. My mind rarely rests because it’s always running future scenarios — most of which never happen.
What I’m learning now is simple: clarity comes after action, not before it. Every time I act first, the anxiety reduces. Every time I wait, it grows.
I’m not trying to eliminate overthinking overnight. I’m learning to notice it — and move anyway.
Takeaway: Thinking feels safe. Action creates results.
