Are you an overthinker? I am...wait am I? Maybe I am, but maybe I'm not. Oops...I'm doing it again. John Acuff blew my mind in this video. What soundtracks do you have on repeat in your head?

Overthinking is likely stopping you from getting what you want. That could be anything from reaching a particular goal, getting along with someone or even developing high self-esteem.

Can we control our thoughts?

My guest today, New York Times Bestseller Author and AMAZING Speaker Jon Acuff, will help you recognize your overthinking triggers and manage them, so you can get into action! (I HIGHLY recommend paying extra attention to the “soundtrack” and “playlist” concepts). We’ll also be sharing a few personal stories as well, and how we dealt with our own overthinking patterns.
