How Overthinking Quietly Steals Your Life

from Built For Resilience · host Rich

How many opportunities have I missed because I thought too much?In this episode of BFR, I open up about one of the biggest patterns I've had to confront: overthinking.For years, I convinced myself I was being careful, responsible, and prepared. In reality, I was often using planning as a way to avoid taking action. Fear of criticism, fear of failure, and fear of looking foolish kept me stuck longer than I'd like to admit.I share the story of why it took me nearly three years to publish a book that had already been written, edited, and ready to go—and how simply committing to a release date changed everything.If you've ever delayed making a decision, replayed conversations in your head, or talked yourself out of opportunities before they even happened, this episode is for you.Sometimes the biggest obstacle isn't the world around us.Sometimes it's the stories we tell ourselves.Thanks for listening to BFR.
