Good Morning everyone! So today’s blog is about “Paralysis by Over-Analysis.” Have any of you ever heard of it? "Paralysis by Over-Analysis" is when we find ourselves trapped in our own decision-making process... stressing ourselves out over the pro's and con's, carefully deliberating on the best options, and trying to be sure to make the "right" decision. Whether you know it or not most of us do suffer from "Paralysis by Over-Analysis" at some point in our lives. Some of the questions we ask ourselves are Do I need a new job? Should I go back to school? Or maybe work a few years to save up money? Would I like to move to a new city? Do I want to stay in this relationship? Is it ok to spend this much money on this? Since none of these have a "right" or "wrong" answer, we can waste a lot of time trying to make our decision. We always want to do (or have) the best, so when we're not sure of what that is, paralysis sets in. In paralysis we've temporarily lost our ability to make choices. We end up just "doing what we've been doing" as a default and become even more frustrated with ourselves and unhappy with our situation. And that's the last thing you want!

Here are some tips that might help you in your next "Paralysis by Over-Analysis" moment:

Make a decision, and then make it the right one. (Whatever you decide, go with it entirely. Don't look back or second-guess yourself.)

If you make a decision to do something now, you can always make another decision later to change something if it's not working. (This way you're making a decision now, with the option of making another decision later... 2 decisions vs. indecision!)

Right or wrong, do it at 100%. (Even if you screw up, do it at 100%. People will see your courage and respect you for trying.)

Go easy on yourself if you do make a mistake. The world goes on and hopefully you've learned something from it. (According to Jack Welsh, its how you recover from the mistake that's important!)

I believe that a few bad decisions are part of learning, and any decision is better than no decision. (As seen on www.overachievercoach.blogspot.com)

Have a good day everyone.
