As a person with anxiety, overthinking is an often habit. And not one that I want.

I know sometimes it can seem like it’s unavoidable and you can’t stop it, but if you sit there all day and debate the same decision, you will never be able to get anything done.

As humans, it is completely natural to fear change. We get so comfortable doing the same thing in the same environment that we forget to allow a little spice in our lives!

There is nothing wrong with allowing change to happen. And overthinking that change will deny your ability to grow!

I know what you’re thinking, “If I don’t sit here and debate these things then how do I make decisions?” And I am here to tell you the most cliché answer possible, follow your heart.

As cliché as it may sound, it is the best option for you. Let’s be honest, what’s the worst that could happen by doing what you want and what is best for you? You find out that you can’t please everyone? Well, you’re going to find that out eventually anyway.

Overthinking causes so much fear and anxiety over such little things that you are never able to grow in life. When we over-obsess every little thing, we miss real life treasures.

You are missing opportunities to advance in life by overthinking every little detail. Just stop.

Take a moment to breathe. Ask yourself, whose life am I living? Who is in control of my life? And who wouldn’t be happy with me doing what is best for me?

Sometimes it is hard to remember that we can not control everything that goes on around us, so no matter how much you overthink this decision, you can not control how it is going to turn out. Therefore, why even sit there for so long wasting so much energy overthinking it?

Stop fearing change! Stop denying yourself the ability to grow! And stop thinking you aren’t good enough for change. Because this is your life and you can live it how you want.

Stop making excuses, stop overthinking, stop fearing change, and go out there and live YOUR life!
