1
Let's dive into trap number two, which is overthinking.
2
Oh my gosh.
3
This one will keep you stuck for decades.
4
You can waste a lot of your life overthinking
5
and worrying about things and never actually get going or started on the changes you want to make.
6
Yes, you've made a decision that you want things to be different,
7
but now you're stuck because you've fallen into the trap of overcomplicating your next move.
8
there's a couple ways you're going to know that this is you.
9
You're constantly thinking about it.
10
You've got a million different ideas.
11
You are busy in the research mode, but you never actually get into action.
12
And one of the reasons why you're going to stay stuck in this place, spinning your wheels, some people do this for years, is because you have not simplified the thing
13
that you want to be doing into a plan that you could do every single day.
14
And by every single day, I mean, And this has to be so simple that
15
if you had 15 minutes a day that you could work on this change
16
or work on this goal or work on this thing that you want to accomplish just 15 minutes a day, that's how simple this is going to be.
17
Without that, your brain has nothing to aim at.
18
See you're just going to keep on saying, oh, I just I want a different job.
19
I'd really like to be healthier.
20
I want to feel better.
21
I think I want to go back to school.
22
I want more purpose in my life.
23
I really know I'm meant for more, but I don't know what.
24
I want more for everything.
25
I want to meet somebody.
26
But if somebody were to stop and ask you, okay, that's pretty clear.
27
I can see that you'd like a new job.
28
I can see that you'd like to be in better shape.
29
How are you going to get there?
30
What are you doing about it today?
31
If I were to watch you on an average Tuesday.
32
What is something that you're doing 15 minutes every Tuesday
33
that would prove to me that you're not just thinking about this thing, but you've got a plan and that every day you wake up and you spend 15 minutes on it.
34
If you don't have it reduced to something so simple that you could do it every day for 15 minutes, then you're going to stay stuck in the trap of overcomplication.
35
Because if you don't have what you're supposed to do simplified, it's going to be so easy to just sit up in your head.
36
It's going to be easy to just freeze and do nothing.
37
It's going to be easy to watch other people on social media doing the things that you're capable of.
38
And this is a trap that ensnarls so many people.
39
You're ready, but now you're overcomplicating everything.
