TMF #023: Struggle with over-thinking? Make this tiny mindset shift that you can apply instantly (and costs nothing):
Welcome to another edition of the Monday Formula.
What you'll learn:
A tiny mindset shift that'll help you effectively liberate your fears
Read time?
Less than 2 minutes.
Let's dive in.
Overthinking is draining.
But, it doesn't have to be.
Instead, make this tiny mindset shift:
When it comes to overthinking.What most men fail to realise is:
Nothing changes, unless you change.
The mindset that makes you feel the way you do now, isn't going to be the same mindset that makes you feel better tomorrow.
You have to DO different in order to FEEL different.
The solution?
Take action.
Just do something. Anything.
Instead of standing still, you will learn no matter what happens and the benefit of taking steps (however small) is infinitely more valuable than what you think is beneficial of making the ‘correct’ decision.
See the truth is:
Messy action will always supersede perfect inaction.
Your decisions in future will be better on average when you have a larger basket of life experience to draw from.
Going to the gym and doing a few reps of each machine when you have no idea what you’re doing is better than researching ‘the perfect routine’.
I had many sessions when starting the gym where I was flailing around, doing things with bad form and less than optimal exercises.
But it all got me to knowing now what I know works and what doesn’t.
I had many instances of making awful sales calls before I started having sales calls with effortless ease.
It’s all practice, it’s all reps in the chamber.
I approached many girls looking like an insecure, floundering wreck before becoming more confident in how I approach them now.
My secret?
Taking action.
Most of the time, your instinctual approximation of the scenario and going with your gut will be the same result as days or weeks of thinking.
Only to come back to the same answer, but without the experience you would’ve gained by just acting.
Your key takeaway:
When in doubt, act.
This way you guarantee a clear conscious and resist regret.
Start small - 1% every day - compounded over 6 months = you feel unrecognisable.
That’s all for this Monday.

I won’t mind and there are no hard feelings.
Alternatively, if you are enjoying this newsletter, the best compliment you could pay me would be to share it with others on Twitter.
Otherwise, see you again next week.
Your, Simmo.
P.S:
Me in 2016 = Cancer check-up. Feeling weak, unhealthy, insecure and horrendously anxious.

The difference between the two?
Opening my mind and recognising wholeheartedly, I am capable of so much more than I'd been told.
