How many times a day do we question ourselves? Are we saying the right things, wearing the right clothes, and acting the right way? Our minds are continuously in a state of flux between what we’re thinking and what we’re doing. There’s just too much noise constantly going on inside our heads. They’re filled with a variety of thoughts, judgments, and questions ranging from imperative to irrelevant. But no matter our thoughts importance, these never ending opinions invade our minds and cause us to question ourselves.
This then leads us to overthink what we should say or do. We end up allowing our mind to take control instead of trusting ourselves and following through with a sense of confidence. Even after a decision has been made, we continue to overthink whether it was the correct decision and the other constant, “What if’s?” that follow. This cycle of thinking, doubting, doing, and overthinking hinders us from ever feeling truly confident in ourselves and what we say or do. So how can we subdue our doubts since we can’t just “turn off” our brains?
