Have you ever over-thought yourself out of a good thing?

I would wager the answer is yes, at least once.

Overthinking about our decisions can actually make us less satisfied with them.

Sometimes, we just need to trust our gut and ask our higher-order brain to turn off for a moment.
Not all “correct” decisions need to come from a place of intense scrutiny and objective reasoning.

Trust yourself to know what is right for you, without picking it apart for the reason why.
