Accomplish Your Goals FAST!

I've been so guilty of overthinking for the last few days.
I have a job interview today. It's weird that something I did impulsively that my heart was screaming for is now panning out.

I may give up my self-employed freedom for a few months to go back to my old job. I feel that because of all the craziness that happened this year, My old job would help me regain my footing so I can start charging at my life goals again. Plus the pay, And the exercise, Hence weight loss that I've been wanting will happen. If this job works out.
But it also sets me back a bit on my business, But I decided that might still be a smart option overall.

Overthinking

I've rarely found a time where overthinking helped with a situation. You obsess and cause yourself so much anxiety. And then you realize that it wasn't' even half as bad as you were expecting.
Yesterday I walked out of the building in one piece.

I was half expecting to be beaten half to death with baseball bats by management, Limping bloody to my car.

All because I'm asking for my job back, When I was a damn good employee...

Ridiculous right?

Overthinking is unnecessary, it's one thing to prepare. Then it's one thing to obsess ** I need to read what I just wrote 10-20 times to drill this shit into my head.

Overthinking only prevents you from accomplishing your goals. Have you ever had those tough decisions where you just "Can't" decide? Later you end up waiting too long to make your decision, And you lose the opportunity to make a choice, And the decision is made for you?

I feel like this happens pretty frequently. And overthinking can cause us to procrastinate and hold off on what we want. Until we lose it all together.

You ALREADY KNOW The Decision

After weeks of thinking and deciding. I made the choice that I WASN'T going to get my job back; It seemed silly and stupid.

But why did I come up with the idea in the first place? Something was there....

A day later after making my decision, I found myself at the library with my laptop impulsively applying.

So weeks of overthinking and wasting my time overthinking, Didn't prevent me from doing the exact thing I had spent all that time considering.

Because deep down I kept having the "What If's" And it's something my heart wanted.

The "What If's"

I've changed the way I make decisions. If "What If" Is involved. I usually just go for it.

What ifs, are some of the worst regretted things of my life.
We usually say no to certain opportunities and then regret it later. It seems less common when we just go with the chance, Then regret doing so.
Regret Is a scary thing, Don't let it happen

Never Settle

There is nothing wrong with loving what you do. But having goals is a great feeling.
I remember when I first became self-employed. For a minute, I felt heart broken and disappointed when I realized I had just accomplished one of my biggest goals.

At that point, I felt like there was nothing left to do. The feeling of "finishing" everything.
So at that point, I had to find new goals to pursue.

When we settle, We allow time to fly, And then we don't accomplish as much as we'd like to. That's one of the reasons whenever my schedule feels too easy or comfortable I kick it up a notch.

Overthinking has being on of the biggest ways I use to hold back myself to, and have already lost uncountable opportunities in life due to overthinking, so it is indeed something I feel like working in me in order to be better.

Nice to know you got your old work back, I do agreed that have our own business is better, but sometimes we need to work for others first in order to save some money before do it. I`m completely sure you will soon be working for yourself again soon =)

see ya dear @kaylinart

Right? Overthinking just ruins everything!

Right? I'm still going to do both! So I am just going to be super busy.
Thank you for stopping by Andy ehhehe :)

good writing

it is better to regret what you have done than regret what you did not do

Exactly! LIke they say, It's better to ask for forgiveness, Then ask for permission.

exactly. although it is more difficult to do that than say it

Good luck with the upcoming interview !

I'm sure you'll do great and be re-hired right away :)

Steem on ! :D

Thank you so much! I just got the job heheh :)

See ? :-D

Congratulations !!!

If only there was an on and off switch on our heads. Pretty amazing that our wonderful minds can actually screw us up! Being aware and taking control is a thing we don't even realize we can do. This is a great post. You are a very good writer. Thank you.

Right? Thank you so much! I wish there was. It would be really helpful.

Lately I feel like my problem is second guessing the decisions I've already made, even though I feel like I'm just overthinking everything. I need to step back and take a breath and just trust that everything is going to be okay and most things aren't irreversible. Good for you for going after what you want. You are inspiring!

Yes if you work a few months you can earn money and maybe buy more Steems ! 😆

I totally agree with “what if” i really hate that question!

Right? It can drive you crazy.

@kaylinart I just want you to be HAPPY no matter what your decision. You are my Favorite Honda Lady..........

The first thing I would do would be to research and read all the information I could find related to my goal. Knowledge is power. You have to know what needs to be done before you can start, right? Some goals just can’t be reached quickly. But you can schedule, organize, and prioritize your time so that you speed the process up here and there rather than slow it down by missing critical steps that you just didn’t know would be necessary.

Good luck on your interview darling! Knock them dead. Hehe :)
Nothing wrong with taking a step back in your current work to regain the footing you desire and getting a stronger foothold in your life and everything your do. Keep at it.
