Social Skills Coaching

You may have heard of what’s known as the fight or flight response. This is when we interpret a stimulus in the world to be dangerous, which ratchets up our adrenaline and alertness and readies our bodies to either flee at full speed or engage in a fight to the death. What’s less frequently mentioned is that this response actually has a third component—freezing.

For most, this is when the adrenaline rush is so extreme that we are essentially left frozen in shock. For those who have made a habit of avoiding action, this is our default response no matter what happens.

It’s easier said than done to break these patterns, but this chapter contains a few ways to err on the side of action and get moving more frequently and consistently.

One of the (many) problems with a lifetime of not taking action is that your first instinct will be to freeze. You may feel that it’s safer to maintain the status quo instead of making a move, or you may just feel uncomfortable acting without analyzing things to death. Whatever the case, you have found yourself unconsciously erring on the side of inaction.

Perhaps for the brain, a lack of action is truly the safest way to live, but it ignores that doing is the only thing we are measured by in this world. Your overactive mind will hold you back from everything, from the easiest tasks to calculated risks. At the basic level,

overthinking can make you tired, scared, and stuck in life. In more extreme cases, overthinking can cause anxiety and shut you out completely from your goals, desires, and beliefs. As you’ll read here, our brains are quite adept at sabotaging our best intentions.

Is it just as easy to quiet your mind as stepping into a soundproof room? Well, no.

That’s a tough habit to crack. But at the very least, there are ways to redirect that extra energy you use to run in place and avoid taking a single step forward. These methods start with zeroing in on what you spend your overthinking quota on, and how to cut it shorter.
