#48 – Overthinking and Analysis Paralysis
Aug 29, 2023 Season 2 Episode 48

Have you ever caught yourself thinking:

  • I need to know the right answer
  • The more information I have, the better
  • I must never waste time or money with the wrong decision
  • Other people know better than me

Then you might be suffering from analysis paralysis!

We humans often use overthinking to keep ourselves safe. And in prehistoric times, it probably worked. 

But even though the world is now safer, we can't stop. So we drive ourselves crazy trying to figure out the right workout plan, dating profile, weight loss strategy, and career path.

The good news is that overthinking and analysis paralysis really are just habits. And we can teach our brains new habits.

In this podcast episode, I share some of my favorite tools to tame overthinking and simplify your decisions.
