The "what ifs" and the tendency to overthink are very real challenges that I still face at times. While it's easy to say "don't overthink," it's much harder to put that into practice.
Shifting that mindset requires more than just advice—it necessitates useful tools, consistent practice, and a strong sense of self-awareness.
Hi Derek, action should always come from awareness. However, many of us forget about our awareness and just proceed to action. Sometimes it works, but it also opens the door for bigger issues.
Absolutely love this. Great actionable steps for overcoming some roadblocks. Especially love the difference between what is up to us and what is not up to us. The Stoic philosopher Epictetus has taught me a ton about this specifically.
Hey, Derek. Well done and well presented. Thank you.
I love the idea of tracking your "wins" as you progress through any journey. Our brains forget 10 wins if they suffer one defeat, and the simplicity of this spreadsheet strategy belies its genius. Started one just now. Thank you.

Thanks so much, Rich! Do you think awareness comes from action, or action comes from awareness?

Thank you, Gunther! I'm so glad it resonated. The day we finally release clinging to the uncontrollable, our lives change for the better.
