Do you catch yourself overthinking? Probably. Most of us do. And while it seems harmless enough, it’s not. Overthinking comes with consequences.

This is especially true when we overthink what we think others think about us. (Sounds ridiculous when you think about it, right?) But that’s what we do.

If you could stop overthinking, you could also stop doing the following:

Pretend to agree with everyone
Take responsibility for how others feel
Apologize often or always say yes
Feel uncomfortable if someone disapproves of you
Act like the people around you
Need praise to feel good
Go to great lengths to avoid conflict
Succumb to the pressure of fitting in
Believe you are less than others
Tolerate toxic people

And that’s just the beginning. I can’t wait for you to listen to Episode 19 and find some long-needed encouragement on how to lighten up your life.
