It’s like a weird sick feeling I can actually feel it right now It’s the number 1 personal problem I feel I have It’s probably held me back countless times but I think I’m getting it now It’s Overthinking… This is a killer for me & I actually think it seriously fucks me up at times I nearly didn’t do yesterdays Facebook Live I spoke about cos I overthought it before I actually woke up in the night thinking “It’s live… What if I say something wrong!” I basically don’t think I’ve ever bought or done anything of note without thinking about it a million times beforehand I’m sure I told you about buying my first property & pretty much having a mild anxiety attack beforehand & wanting to pull out I’ve actually pulled out of buying 2 properties after having offers accepted & then changing my mind Then there’s the first time I bought a decent car My old man must have been screwing with how long it took me to make my mind up I actually lost a deposit I paid for one I agreed to buy before changing my mind In every one of these instances I had that weird sick feeling I used to get it every Wednesday morning before lecturing at the University of Bath I’d best describe it as a “I don’t wanna fuck up & look stupid” kinda feeling Do you ever get that? It can’t just be me… I think it’s definitely stopped me taking action on things I really should have just done at times Although I do think in every occasion where I’ve ‘overthought’ I’ve ended up making the right decision in the end So I sorta look at it as a good thing… Even though now I feel I’ve broken through this barrier & have much more of a ‘Fuck what anyone else thinks outlook’ But there’s no doubt overthinking still effects me If you over think or under act I’m sure you feel it stops you doing things at times as well Maybe thats just me… I actually had 2 instances of it yesterday Personally I had it when I was offered an opportunity on a call It’s funny as I pretty much knew what I would eventually do at the time but still needed some time to ‘overthink it’ & fair play to one of the guys I work with I wont name him right now but he’s mentioned to me a few times about being intimidated by the new gym he’s joined It’s not the first time I’ve heard similar & lets be honest if you’re not an Ex athlete/gym freak/meathead gyms are weird places You got the posers always looking at them selves in the mirror There’s the guy grunting so loud you can here him from the car park There’s always someone lifting half the weight in the gym making you feel inadequate & of course the ripped personal trainer who only seems interested in chatting to the ‘big lads’ & staring at chicks on the x-trainer I get it… I’m obviously comfortable in a gym but I’ve definitely felt inadequate & overthought things at times Lecturing at the University of Bath was one Going from training athletes in a gym to delivering 2 hour lectures & presenting to academic heads of departments definitely had me overthinking & feeling inadequate I managed to get over that & am better for it Just like my man who was intimidated by his new gym His text yesterday gave me a pretty good feeling inside “I like the way I’ve grown in confidence & I’m enjoying the new gym now where only last week I found it intimidating” I’m literally buzzing for him & cant wait to change the way he looks & feels about himself Now this email is getting on a bit so I’ll leave you with this What’s holding you back right now? & will you be better off if you find a way to break through that barrier?
