Are you wanting to make some midlife changes but find yourself stuck in analysis paralysis? This post will give tips on how to get out of analysis paralysis, including my special simple trick I’ve started incorporating into my decisions, both big and small.
Ah, analysis paralysis – the bane of every midlifer’s existence!
It’s particularly oppressive if you’re also a neurodivergent midlifer. ADHD and anxiety paralysis are very real, my friend!
We’ve all been there, staring at a problem for hours on end, weighing the pros and cons until our brains feel like they’re about to explode. It’s like being stuck in a mental traffic jam, unable to move forward or backward.
The worst part is you get stuck for so long you end up doing nothing to improve your situation. You tell yourself you’ll put it off later and tuck it away in the depths of your brain’s file cabinet.
