Don't Think About It - Just Do It

Don't Think About It - Just Do It

Thinking is a good thing and something you should do often. However, there are times when thinking can get in the way. Thinking can cause you to create fears that exist only in your head. When you think about something too long, you can think yourself right out of taking action.

When you think too long about something, you actually can conjure up worries and fears that don't exist. The only way to know whether it will work or not is to stop over-thinking and take action. Thinking won't turn your ideas into reality, so think about what you want to do and then do it.

Don't allow yourself to get caught in the negative "what if" thinking loop. This type of thinking will only keep you going in circles. 'What if' only serves to keep you stuck right where you are. Forget the what-ifs! Chances are they won't happen, so just take action. Once you are in action, you can begin to see how things are going and use your thinking skills to assess and adjust.

Coaching

Thinking about something will not get you where you want to go. You must take action. Thinking is a good thing but, done to excess, it can keep you from moving to the really important step of taking action. There is a certain amount of risk associated with taking action, but consider the risk of not taking action. If you just continue to think about doing it, you never will.

Coaching Question

Are you thinking to avoid taking action?

Daily Action

Today, take action on something you have been thinking about.

Quotes
