"Ready, Set, Go" to Stop Overthinking Channel the one action that is going to pull you to the finish line.

Many people overthink when in fact they know exactly what they are supposed to be doing.

Instead of doing it, whatever it is — that book, a podcast, losing weight, ending a relationship, starting a business or simply taking a risk you know you should be taking — we come up with excuses, scenarios of why it won't work, why we aren't enough, and why it's ultimately going to fail.

As a world-class athlete, I've run against some of the fastest men in the world. And I know that a sure way to lose a race is to overthink. Because here's the thing: The time you are taking to overthink is wasted energy that could be used for gaining momentum in your race. Time is something a runner always wants to cut down on to win a race. And whether you know it or not, we all are running some type of race.
