Stop Overthinking and Start Achieving Your Goals
“In any moment of decision, the best thing you can do is the right thing. The next best thing is the wrong thing. The worst thing you can do is nothing.” — Theodore Roosevelt
Decisions shape the direction of our lives, yet for many, the act of deciding feels overwhelming. I wasn’t always decisive. I’d overanalyze, second-guess myself, and sometimes change my mind multiple times. Something as simple as choosing an outfit could turn into a stressful ordeal—trying on countless items, only to buy more than I needed “just in case.”
Over time, I realized that indecision wasn’t just frustrating—it was draining my energy and holding me back. The turning point came when I learned that highly successful people make decisions quickly and rarely change them. From that moment, I committed to becoming a better decision-maker.
Why Indecision Hurts
Indecision is more than a delay—it’s an energy drain. The mental gymnastics of weighing options over and over can feel torturous, leaving you stuck in a cycle of overthinking. This is often fueled by analysis paralysis, where the need for more information creates endless delays.
But waiting for the “perfect” choice is a trap. The truth is, perfection doesn’t exist, and the longer you hesitate, the more opportunities you miss.
Strategies for Decisive Action
Here are some strategies to help you make confident decisions:
Set Clear Deadlines
For medium to major decisions, set a firm deadline. For example, commit to deciding by a specific date or time. This creates urgency and keeps you focused. For smaller choices, set even shorter timeframes—minutes or hours instead of days.
Engage Your Intuition
Trusting yourself is essential to confident decision-making. By developing your intuition, you’ll connect with your inner guidance and make choices that align with your values and goals. One of the things I teach is how to tune into your intuition as a decision-making tool—it’s transformative.
Overcome Analysis Paralysis
If you’re a person who loves data (like I used to be), set boundaries for how much information you’ll gather and how long you’ll analyze it. Ask yourself, “Do I really need more information, or am I just delaying the decision?” Then act.
Decisions Are in the Doing
A decision isn’t real until you act on it. You can decide to lose weight, change jobs, or improve your relationships, but without action, your decision is just an idea. Taking the first step turns intention into reality.
