If you’re an overthinker, you know exactly how much anxiety costs you.
We often get stuck because thinking feels useful, but it isn’t always.
As Byron Katie says:
“𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘰𝘯𝘭𝘺 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘩𝘶𝘳𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘪𝘴 𝘢 𝘵𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘶𝘯𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘦𝘥.”
For example. Jason identified as a classic overthinker until he learned a vital lesson:
𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸.
Lately, his favorite practice is questioning his own thoughts to discern what is actually serving him.
He realized that while some thoughts are productive, others are just noise. We have the power to decide what we take on board and what we discard.
𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲 = 𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 - 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
One of the best things you can learn to improve your performance is not to add new thinking but to remove the ones that are holding you back
So, if you’re a classic overthinker you might also like Jason’s favourite question lately became:
“Is this thought useful?”
