Episode Synopsis

Quote: "Action and overthinking can not exist together.  You are either busy taking action or you are busy overthinking."  by Sharat Sharma   This quote is a challenge for most people.  We tend to overthink our decisions and stay in the thinking and planning mode, and that keeps us from moving towards our dreams.  Sara and Kelly, as Enneagram 9's shared how having a heightened awareness around this topic has been very helpful.  Taking action can be scary, but looking back we usually realize that what we were afraid of was nothing terrible, yet we spend so much time overthinking, worrying, and staying stuck in fear.  For Lisa, as an Enneagram 2, the overthinking looks a little differently.  It can show up as worrying about what people think of us. Kelly shared another quote that has helped her, "What people think of you is none of your business." Overthinking inhibits us from taking action.  But there is HOPE!  Awareness  of our "default settings" and our current thinking, and choosing to TAKE ACTION anyway will put you on the "road" to your dreams and your growth.   We love you, our listeners, and want to encourage you to TAKE ACTION.  Don't overthink it!  Just GO FOR IT!  Start creating the life you truly desire, one action step at a time!   We would love to hear from you, so if this episode encouraged you to take action in the direction of your dreams, drop us a message, LIKE, SHARE, and leave us a review!  Follow us on Instagram @wakeupanddreampodcast       You can connect with each of us here:   Sara Carlisi: @saracarlisi1  [email protected] saracarlisi.com/wakeup   Kelly Armstrong:  @kellyarmstrongofficial  [email protected]   Lisa Taylor:  @lisa.kay.taylor [email protected] www.linktree.com/lisa.kay.taylor www.lbri.com/lisatay
