Stop Overthinking

And JUST DO IT!

Stop Overthinking
http://www.2020bmv.com/

You send a text to someone you like and you don't get a response back for one day: what is your thought process during that time? Do you assume they might be busy, or do you just jump to conclusions and start thinking that they don’t care about you?

A lot of us would jump to conclusions and worry too much about what could, would or might happen. Stop overthinking! There is no way you can predict every single outcome, so stop overthinking and trying to control everything.You might get presented with an opportunity, but you’re so worried and caught up in thinking what could go wrong, by the time you make a decision the opportunities pass you by.


Taking action is the hardest step. You say you want to lose weight but what have you actually done to do it? You say you want to quit your job and start your own business but what have you done to do it?

Stop sitting around and making a list of things that you want to do and over thinking how to do it. Just take action, and do it.

One of the most important things to remember, is that you can't control everything. There is always going to be circumstances that are beyond your control, so face your fears and don't be afraid to fail. Failure is a necessary step to success!


One of the things you can ask yourself is what is the worst that can possibly happen? And you will see that the worst possible outcome is usually not as bad as the fake fears our mind creates to stop us from taking action.

The people you keep around you play a big part in your actions and the way you think. So it is very important to surround yourself with positive people, because no one cares what you could have done, what matters is what you did!

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.
