229. How to Stop Overthinking & Start Taking Action Instead


Listen Later

Are you caught in the exhausting loop of overthinking every single business decision? Let's talk about how to stop overthinking once and for all!

Overthinking in business stems from deeper subconscious patterns that keep you stuck, not from lack of knowledge or ability. I see this pattern repeatedly with my clients—they know what they want to do, but their brain won't stop spinning the same thoughts over and over again. This protective mechanism is actually trying to keep you safe, but it's costing you clarity, momentum, and growth.

So in today's episode, I dive into why we overthink, what's happening in your nervous system during these spirals, and, most importantly, how to break free from this pattern. You'll learn how to shift from mental noise to embodied decision-making, rebuild self-trust, and create the safety your body needs to move forward. I'll show you how to recognise when you're in an overthinking spiral and give you tools to move from paralysis to purposeful action—not because everything's perfectly mapped out, but because you're rooted in yourself.



Topics covered on How to Stop Overthinking:

  1. Why does your brain create overthinking loops, and what's the hidden reason behind this protection strategy?
  2. How does your nervous system physically respond when you're stuck in decision paralysis?
  3. Identify the secondary gains of your overthinking loop.
  4. What practical steps can you take today to stop overthinking?
  5. How can you recognise when your spiral is happening and pull yourself back into conscious awareness?
  6. What does the regulation of your nervous system have to do with making better business decisions?
