Summary
You know what you need to do. So why can’t you make yourself actually do it? In this episode, I’m unpacking one of the less obvious reasons we procrastinate, overthink and endlessly plan instead of taking action: fear of what might happen if we actually succeed. I get into how that fear can disguise itself as perfectionism, waiting until you feel ready, constantly changing the plan or convincing yourself you just need a little more time before you start. I also share the simple shift I use to stop overthinking and make the next step feel far less overwhelming. You don’t need to have the whole journey figured out. You just need to take the next step.
