I recently had an enlightening conversation with one of my clients. She’s experiencing a huge uptick in sales, everything is feeling abundant for the first time, and she can finally breathe a sigh of relief that she’s meeting her business goals. And yet, she confessed that there was a nagging voice in the back of her head telling her not to get too comfortable.
Looking for problems, even when they haven’t presented themselves, is not unusual for overthinkers, over-worriers, and Type-A people. Left to its own devices, my brain does this exact thing too, so I know this habit very well. The narrative we live by sounds a lot like, “Sure, everything is going to plan, but, when is the other shoe going to drop?”
Tune in this week to discover why we overthinkers tend to have a habit of looking for problems where they aren’t any. I’m showing you why staying in this pattern is guaranteed to turn what might be a minor inconvenience into a bad week or month where everything seems to have gone awry, and how to turn this habit around.
