Overthinking Is Not Preparation (It’s Fear)
Mon Feb 02 2026
Happy Mindset Monday!
Overthinking feels like you’re being responsible.But most of the time, it’s fear keeping you stuck.
In this solo episode of Living The Sweet Life, TJ Sweet breaks down why overthinking isn’t preparation, it’s protection. It’s the mind’s way of avoiding risk, judgment, and uncertainty.
This episode is for anyone who feels mentally exhausted from replaying decisions, second-guessing themselves, or waiting for the “right” moment to move.
💡 In this episode, you’ll learn:
Why overthinking is often rooted in fear, not logic
How rumination drains confidence and energy
Why clarity comes from action, not analysis
Simple tools to calm the spiral and take the next step
How gratitude and presence bring you back to what matters
You don’t need certainty to move forward.You need courage and one small action.
🎙️ New episodes every Mindset Monday.
