Slap #040: You’re Not Thinking. You’re Looping.
There’s no wisdom in mental hamster wheels.
You call it deep thought.
Reflection.
Preparation.
But if we zoom out?
You’re just replaying the same three fears in new fonts.
Overthinking isn’t analysis. It’s avoidance.
You’re not getting closer to answers.
You’re getting further from action.
Every “what if” you invent is another excuse to stay still.
Thinking becomes a trap when it replaces doing.
Clarity doesn’t come from the couch.
It comes from risk.
From movement.
From trying and failing and adjusting.
You don’t solve fear by understanding it perfectly.
You solve it by acting before it talks you down again.
This slap was for me first.
Hope this one struck (pun always intended) a chord as well. Sing.
Until tomorrow.
What decision have you been overthinking that really just needs the first step?
