Overthinking is when what you think gets in the way of what you want.
It’s one of the most expensive things in the world because it wastes time, creativity, and productivity. It’s an epidemic of inaction, a tsunami of stuckness.
You can use all that reclaimed time , creativity, and productivity to create the life you want.
I don’t know what your dream is : it’s probably different from mine. But I do know one thing: If overthinking is getting in the way. It’s time to do something about that.
“Eres fuerte para levantarte de la cama por la mañana cuando se siente como un infierno. Eres valiente para hacer cosas aunque te asusten o te pongan ansioso. Y eres increíble para intentarlo y aguantar sin importar lo difícil que se ponga la vida.”
How do you usually respond to bad experiences? Do you explode in anger? Do you shrink into yourself emotionally? Do you detach yourself from the experience as much as possible? Do you ignore it?
Every problem introduces a person to himself. Each time we encounter a painful experience, we get to know ourselves a little better.
Pain can cause us to make decisions we would like to put off, deal with issues we would rather not face and makes changes that makes us feel uncomfortable.
What we do with that experience defines who we become.
What separates people who thrive from those who merely survive? I believe it is how they face their problems.
It doesn’t matter who you are, where you live, what you do, or what your background is, you will have to deal with bad experiences. You have to have realistic expectations when it comes to pain and problems. You cannot avoid them.
It doesn’t matter what you gone through in your life or what you are currently going through you have the opportunity to grow from it. It’s sometimes very difficult to see the opportunity in the midst of the pain, but it’s there.
I can give you a list of all of my problems. People truly think I dont have any, the reality of the matter is that I do, but I confront my problems very different than most people and that’s why I have been able to turn things around. I would love for you to be able to do the same. There is always growth and opportunity in every bad experience in life.
When I do mastermind from the book the 15 Invaluable Laws of Growth, people tend to have difficulties with this law. It can be very painful but in reality it should not be.
Remember, if you always do what you’ve always done, you’ll always get what you’ve always gotten. If you want to arrive in a new destination, you need to take a new path.
“Facing difficulties is inevitable, learning from them is optional “
If you feel like sometimes you struggle with saying what you mean, doing what you love, or relaxing around certain people, then this message is specifically for you.
Not being at ease with yourself just as you are is exhausting. You may not even realize the amount of energy that is being drained by keeping up appearances, attempting to be perfect, pleasing other people, and trying to make yourself fit into situations that are simply not you.
I hope this five practical strategies helps you maximize your best you:
1. Say what you need to say. Are you beating around the bush? Too afraid to speak up?
2. Wear what makes you feel best. Clothing is a language of its own.
3. Do what you know is right. There is nothing more authentic than living your own values.
4. Give yourself permission to be imperfect. Do not allow your imperfections to keep you from reaching your purpose. You are human. Relax. Enjoy the journey.
5. Breathe. Whenever you feel yourself getting anxious, take a deep breath. Let the air in and out slowly. Breathe and get centered again.
I challenge you to consider the lessons your life is offering you right now . If we don’t learn from our lessons, the same lessons will be offered again and again. Through both frustrations and exciting times, there is something to learn that will prepare you for greater opportunities on your horizon.
Lesson #1. Nothing is permanent. I learned that the hard way when I lost my bestfriend back in 2000 to something completely unexpected.
People come and go in your life. Jobs are not permanent and now with how the world is going it sure is not permanent. NOTHING IS PERMANENT. This is a fact that should encourage you to revel in the joy your life is bringing right now and minimize your frustration when you encounter circumstances you don’t like.
There is something in your life that’s not permanent. If it is something you love, in what ways could you embrace and enjoy it more? If it is something you don’t think you can handle, just hold on a little longer. This too shall pass.
This is for you to consider if you have an area of your life for which your vision looks cloudy ⛅. If you don’t know what you want or you just don’t know what steps will be essential to take you where you want to go. Here is five lessons to learn in the meantime. The meantime is that waiting period between here and where you are destined to end up. Sometimes we have some learning and growing to do first.
So, wherever you feel a lack of clarity: consider these five messages that may be presenting themselves to you.:
No and wait are legitimate answers.
Let go of your need to know. Trust that all things work together for good.
Take a small step and notice what happens. If you are feeling torn about which direction to take, sometimes the best thing you can do is begin to move to one direction. Notice what happens when you do.
Delve into an area of life you’ve been neglecting. Often we can’t have what we think because it’s time to address other matters. Until those are not addressed, our answer will not come. What have you been avoiding?
Connect with God by talking and then listening.
Stop focusing on needing to know the answers focus on the message that is being offered to you in the process of learning what to do next.
