What Loop Are You Living In?

There’s a quiet moment—somewhere between your thoughts and your actions—
where your life is being shaped.

And most of the time, you don’t even realize it’s happening.
You’re not consciously choosing to overthink, to spiral, to delay.
You’re just responding to a belief your mind rehearsed long before you knew it was optional.

This week on the podcast, I shared the truth I had to face in myself:

“You are not stuck. You’re just rehearsing a thought that no longer matches the person you’re becoming.”

We all have those thoughts.
The ones that loop when we’re tired, anxious, unsure.
And for most of you this week, two patterns rose to the surface:
Overthinking.
Procrastination.

Let’s talk about them.

Loop 1: Overthinking
Overthinking is a control mechanism.
It’s your brain trying to create safety through prediction—
trying to make sense of a future that hasn’t happened yet.

But here’s what I’ve learned:
You don’t need more certainty.
You need more trust.

✨ You are allowed to pause the spiral.
You are allowed to make a decision without a 37-tab mental analysis.
You are allowed to move even when you don’t feel 100% ready.

Loop 2: Procrastination
Procrastination isn’t laziness.
It’s often fear in disguise.

Fear of getting it wrong.
Fear of being seen.
Fear of success, even.

If your vision feels too far away,
start where you are.
One shift. One task. One honest step.
Like I said in the episode—
“Your mindset is a muscle. You build it with presence, not perfection.”
