What is Paralysis Analysis?

How many of you heard the term Paralysis Analysis? If you have not heard this term I am glad to tell you all about it's meaning! Even though paralysis analysis can be a tricky word to say it actually has a simple definition.

Paralysis Analysis: is when you overthink a situation to the point where you get nothing done.

I know I have fallen victim to this mindset because I want every detail to be perfectly executed.

In reality, this mindset is hindering most people from trying new things or accomplishing tasks that could easily be completed within minutes. I am not saying that preparing isn’t necessary, but if you find yourself trying to complete every little detail your are going to end up exhausting yourself mentally without physically putting in any work. This is where overthinking becomes unhealthy. It is okay to have a plan, but this time around let's take those ideas that we have in our head and create active steps to achieving those goals.

I just wanted to leave you with this little nugget, “Done is Better than Perfect.” Humans are not perfect so why should we expect everything we do to be perfect. Give yourself grace and understand that progression is better than perfection. Until then remember to Live Life + Love God!
