Overthinking Overcomplicates Your Life

… it never makes it easier.

We have it all wrong — life is meant to be simple, not a struggle. But we’re the ones who get in our own way — we make it harder then it has to be. 

The best decisions in life are the easiest to make. They’re the most fundamental and they make the most sense. They’re the foundation from which we build upon, but overthinking runs that foundation into the ground.

When you overthink things, you lose the spark of inspiration that created it.

Our problem today is that we know too much. We’re inundated with information and we’re too highly educated and informed and rely too heavily on our mental processing to make decisions. We’re trapped in our heads and thus have lost our intuitive guidance. It leaves us KNOWING a lot but not being able to FEEL a whole lot.

Overthinking overcomplicates your life; what good is knowledge if it only confuses you? It’s not what you know, it’s what you feel that makes all the difference in the world.

Complicated People

… make EVERYTHING complicated.

The energy you put out into the world is the exact energy you get back. So why not try and make things easier on yourself?

Complicated people make things difficult for themselves because of the way they show up in life. When you learn how to relax into stressful situations, you moderate the outcomes. Things get easier when you choose the simpler path. Most of us do not know how to do this because we think more is better. More is never better, it is just more. And if anything, it makes things more complicated and sets an energetic pattern of resistance into play for you.

Here’s a tip: there is no need to over-think situations and no need to over-plan situations. The most successful solutions are ALWAYS the SIMPLEST.

Remember complicated people create complicated relationships and complicated situations. Their lives become complicated by their own hand. Recognize that you are in control and if you want things to be less stressful and more relaxed, learn to streamline.

Simplifying calms and soothes your experience. Complications create disharmony and chaos.

Your life is up to you. You have a choice everyday as to how you are going to show up. Are you going to stress yourself out by trying to do everything at once or are you going to pare back and take the path that optimizes your resources and time? Learn to streamline your life and everything will be less complicated.
