1. The problem is rarely the problem.
99% of the harm is caused in your head,
by you and your thoughts.
1% of the harm is caused by the reality,
what actually happens, and the outcome.
Most of the time, the problem isn't the
problem.
2. Avoid self-rejection.
Don't think you deserve that opportunity?
Apply for it anyway.
Don't think your article is good enough?
Publish it anyway.
Don't think they'll reply to your email?
Send it anyway.
Never overthink yourself into self-rejection.
3. Silence and time.
The truth is, most problems aren't
solved with more thinking.
You'll find most of the answers you're
looking for in silence, in time, and with
a clear mind.
If you can't solve a problem, stop trying to.
4. An important question.
When you start criticizing yourself for
past mistakes or seeing disaster around
every corner, ask yourself:
"ls there anything I can do right now to
change the past or positively influence
the future?"
If the answer is yes, do it - take action.
If the answer is no, be at peace - let it go.
You have to take action or let it go,
everything else is self-harm.
5. The power of now.
You're not going to overthink your way
to a better future.
You're not going to overthink your way
to a better past.
All you have is now.
And what you can do with now can make
right of your past and make good of your
future.
Make peace with yesterday, let go of
tomorrow, and grab hold of now.
6. Fact-check your own thoughts.
Your thoughts will create scenarios in
your mind that reflect your insecurities,
fears, and worries.
