Overthinking Your Nomadic Life

Published: March 13, 2018, 1 p.m.

Digital nomads always overthink before they get started - so: Let\u2019s talk overthinking, which is a concept near and dear to my heart.

I honestly believed, when I was poor and had the cold sweats in my apartment in Bangkok a few years ago, that it mattered what I chose to start with and I had to get it right from day one or else I\u2019d be a huge failure.

\n

In fact I think that the more I overthought, the more I overthought\u2026. It got into kind of a downward spiral that made me scared to do anything at all in case it didn\u2019t work.

\n

I am aware that doesn\u2019t make much sense right now, it sounds crazy.

\n

But the saying is true - \u201cStay in your head, you\u2019re dead\u201d

\n

The ONLY thing to do is to take action. The ONLY thing that you can do to move forward, is take a step. Standing still and thinking will not work.

\n

Yes the future will be uncertain. But no amount of thinking is going to get you certain. All that will happen is you will waste precious time.
