Over thinkers always end up “making it work” but not without first adding a lot of unnecessary drama and anxiety.
The over thinker is used to living in a state of stress and sleepless nights. It is used to being told that they are worrying too much about something, they are also used to being tired.
The adrenaline that over thinkers produce on a single day could be used to run a full marathon, no questions asked.
In a way we have been conditioned to think about what others would say and think of us since we were young children. I still catch myself telling my son “don’t scream like that at the store, what would others think” and it’s like I’m repeating my own mother’s words to me.
Our mind is like a fertile ground, a garden. What we plant is what we see growing. But there are thoughts, ideas and beliefs that like the weeds of my garden, weren’t planted intentionally yet, there they were. Occupying space, filling up the soil and not bringing beauty or anything positive to my overall garden.

Have you ever heard the saying; “fake it until you make it”? I never ask my clients to “fake it until they make it” but I do teach them to act “as if” the personality traits, the routine, job, relationship they want was already here. I call this process “remembering your future”.
