Joanne Smith argues we often chase problems that don't exist, trapped in cycles of over-analysis and the compulsive need to fix something that may not need fixing. Recognizing when you're over-fixating is the first step to breaking free.
The hardest bit is making the decision that you're gonna go for it, and then stick with it, and stick with it consistently whilst getting no results, because again, there's nothing to fix, so we're not actually focusing on getting any results here, because why would we be? There's nothing to fix. So I hope I'm not blagging your heads here and confusing things. But, um, but yeah, it can be really easy to get caught up, um, with the busy mind of trying everything, adding more and more and more and things in. There's lots of thought thinking going on there. Well, this isn't working and that's not working, and, and all that unhelpful thinking just can keep us trapped in that goofy loop. Um, am I doing enough of this? How much is it enough? How much should I be researching? How much should I be reading? What's working, then checking and analysing what to do next, and it can just get really difficult, like desperately trying to solve things, when actually the question is of tonight, what if there's nothing to fix?
