How to Stop Overthinking

Sahil Bloom
About this episode

I've come to believe that there is one common theme that holds people back from living the life they want—and the life they are capable of living: Overthinking.

In today's piece, I want to share what worked for me: Three simple mindset shifts—reminders and reframes you can reliably turn to—that helped me conquer overthinking for good.

Three mindset shifts to conquer overthinking: (1) The decision is less important than the actions that follow it, (2) Trust in your adaptability, not your plan, and (3) Most decisions are far more reversible than you think.
