I do it too &#8211; I would be willing to bet that everyone has done it at one time or another.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Why is overthinking such a big deal?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are a lot of reasons why it&#8217;s bad (but the good news is that we can fix it)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some reasons why it&#8217;s not good to overthink:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>it keeps us stuck where we are<\/li><li>it keeps us from making decisions<\/li><li>it makes things seem bigger than they probably are<\/li><li>it keeps you in the past, reflecting on what you could have done better<\/li><li>it helps you make excuses about why you didn&#8217;t do or say something<\/li><li>it makes you worry about things that haven&#8217;t even happened yet<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Staying stuck is a common issue for Virtual Assistants anyway, so it really is not good to let overthinking take over on top of that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more you think about something, the more you train your brain to think about it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It&#8217;s just a bad habit. But it may be one you have had for many years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Let me ask you a question right out the gate. Are you aware that you are overthinking when it happens?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you aren&#8217;t, then that has to be the first thing to think about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Awareness is important, and even that isn&#8217;t easy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I suggest putting a system in place to help yourself &#8211; and that might take some practice too, but you have to start somewhere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write your system down = and make changes to it each time you use it, as necessary, so that you get better at handling it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have had this habit for a really long time, it will take time to change that habit. Give yourself a break, and give yourself the tools you need to make the change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So you need a system to get out of the overthinking valley when you are there &#8211; and never beat yourself up for going back there. Just plan to move back out as quickly as you can.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, first things first &#8211; you do need to keep an eye out for it. Look for the signs so you can identify when it&#8217;s happening, and then consult your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Look for the solution to the problem. Always focus on fixing the issue. Look at it as objectively as you can, even though sometimes that can be hard when it&#8217;s your situation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Step out of your own situation so you can look objectively at what is going on. Try not to get carried away by your own emotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I always suggest treating yourself like a client when you are having trouble doing something. Do the same here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What if your client (or a loved one) presented an issue as overthinking? What would you tell them? How would you help them? How would you be objective about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Write all of those things down. You need to do the same things for yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And it is hard to do it when it&#8217;s for yourself, I get it, but you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Get help with this in the beginning if you find it difficult, Practice makes perfect, and I promise you will get better at it the more you practice your system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you have worked through something, take a moment to write that down too &#8211; so you can refer to it next time. Celebrate that success, you just proved to yourself that you can do it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Never beat yourself up when you realize you are holding yourself back because of overthinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Always honour your thoughts, and your feelings, but still know that you need to change them if you are going to move forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Remember that you can&#8217;t control everything. When things are rough, focus on the things that you can control. Change the things you can change. Move past the things that you can&#8217;t change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And definitely focus on what can go right. There is always a good side! And you deserve to be there. And you will get there if you let yourself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Actually handling the overthinking will do wonders for you:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>you will start to move forward, even if it&#8217;s just in baby steps<\/li><li>you will be able to make the decisions you need so you aren&#8217;t spinning your wheels<\/li><li>you will see things for what they really are, and not the huge issues that you are presenting yourself now<\/li><li>you will focus on the future, and learn from what has happened &#8211; so you can pay much more attention to the stuff that you did right<\/li><li>you will stop making excuses because you will be saying and doing the right things<\/li><li>and you will worry a lot less because you will focus on the future and all the positive stuff that you now see for yourself<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>When things start to pop up, grab that system.<br>Remember that you worked your way through something last time, and you can do it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And final advice: a lot of people suggested giving yourself time to overthink &#8211; like set a timer, and then when the timer goes off, stop. I don&#8217;t see the value in that myself, but I would be remiss if I didn&#8217;t bow to the experts here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For myself, I understand the idea of identifying it, but I can&#8217;t quite see how you can let yourself be upset and then just shut it off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I prefer to identify it and then go to my system. You can do whichever works for you. As I always tell you, I can&#8217;t teach you something that I don&#8217;t have experience with so there&#8217;s my caveat for you ha ha<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I hope I was able to give you some practical tips today on how to handle your habit of overthinking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Need Some Help?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you need some help&nbsp;with getting your system in place to fix your overthinking,&nbsp;reach out to me at&nbsp;<a href=\"mailto:tracey@yourvamentor.com\">tracey@yourvamentor.com<\/a>.
