Overthinking means too much thinking. You are overthinking if you analyze everything, repeat the same thoughts over and again, and have endless inner conversations.

Thinking is a useful activity, but we need to know when to stop it and not to take it too far. It never replaces action.

  • Thinking becomes a problem when you overthink.
  • You go in circles and stop moving forward when you think over and again about everything.
  • You make no progress when you analyze everything people said, and when you run in your mind nonstop scenarios of problems.

This mental activity is like a car that gets stuck in the sand. If you keep pressing the gas pedal, the wheels will keep spinning and digging deeper, making it even harder to get out and move on.

Thinking Too Much Gets You Nowhere
