Room and space to think is important, but so is consistent action.
Too much of one or the other will take you backwards.
Its a dance between building your outer life, and taking apart your inner one.
Thinking gives you a chance to see what’s happening, sort things out, notice what is working, and heal. If you don’t give yourself the time to think, you keep repeating patterns and reacting to life in the same ways.
But too much thinking will paralyze you. It creates self doubt, wears you out, and brings overwhelm.
So you have to keep taking action. Trying new things, learning new skills, applying new knowledge and consistently showing up.
But then you need to take stock. Taking time to think and process the changes that are happening so you can assess what direction to head when you get going again.
Then you stop thinking and get going.
Being present, in the moment, and accepting what is happening as it happens.
Then processing, sorting it out, remembering what’s important and trying again.
Don’t stay in either space too long, just go back and forth between them.
Thats the journey framework.
Have you been doing too much thinking? Or taking too much action?
