💡 Stop Overthinking and Start Doing
Here is a big secret: over 90% of decisions are reversible. If you make a mistake, you can fix it.

Taking action actually gives you new information that makes the path clearer.
The JFDI approach: Just Freaking Do It. When you catch yourself overthinking even small things, that is your cue to act.
The more you practice deciding and adjusting, the more confident you become. And confidence makes you feel mentally lighter.
A word on self-awareness: research shows that while 95% of people think they are self-aware, only about 10-15% actually are. Getting honest feedback from others helps you see your own blind spots.
