Omg, I'm not going to get that done today, My business will fall part. I will fail. I"m a failure.

Overthinking is ridiculous! IT can consume your whole day, and before you know it, You wasted a whole day doing absolutely nothing.
Sometimes we can't help it; We have a goal, We want something so bad. We then get to the point we have less control, and we have to wait it out.

Things Aren't Always In Our Control

Usually, when I'm overthinking something, I have to stop myself. And remind myself that I did EVERYTHING in my power to produce the best results for the situation I'm in.
That no amount of stressing, or freaking out is going to fix the problem. Sometimes things are out of your control. And you have to deal with it.
IF you did everything in your power to get those results, That is all you can do. Move on emotionally as you wait for those results to pan out.

It Will Never Help Your Situation

When you are overthinking, you are causing more harm than good. Your turning yourself into a stressed out mess. And your overthinking will NEVER help the situation. You might do extra preparations which may or may not help you. But often those bad situations may not ever pan out.

I remember when I was going to fly the first time in my life. Going to Pheonix, Arizona. I was TERRIFIED of Airport security. I was afraid they'd rip through all of my bags and such, And everyone would see my underwear and I would be laughed at. I was scared that I would do something wrong and they'd throw me out of the airport, and I wouldn't be able to fly.

I was afraid they'd fingerprint me, Which is something I'm really bothered by. Or demand a passport from me, Even though I was just flying to another state. Then I was afraid that flying would be rough and scary, The plane would crash.

Seriously? Lol.
I think back, and I just laugh. I've I have flown over 13 times now, And none of that has ever happened. I always get through security with no issues, Because I tend to pack light and simple. See what happens when you overthink? I made myself so stressed and scared for almost nothing.
What did I accomplish from that overthinking? Well, I packed a bit better, And I didn't bring huge shampoo bottles. But overall it was a waste of my time

Focus on The big picture

Focus on what you hope to get out of the whole thing. My goal was to go on vacation and to start traveling a bit.
Many of you probably see this as a tiny step. But for me, it was a big deal. When you focus on the big picture, sometimes you can prevent overthinking.
