What is holding people back from the life that theytruly want to live?I’d say that one very common and destructive thingis that they think too much.They overthink every little problem until it becomesbigger and scarier and it actually is. Overthinkpositive things until they don’t look so positiveanymore.
什么阻礙了人們過他們真正想要過的生活?我想說一個非常普遍而且有害的原因：想的太多。他們對每個小問題都過多思考，直到這個問題變得更大更嚴重，然后真正地變成他們認為的那么嚴重。過多思考積極的事情直到它們看起來不再積極。
Or overanalyze and deconstruct things and so the happiness that comes from just enjoyingsomething in the moment disappears.Now, thinking things through can be a great thing of course. But being an overthinker canresult in becoming someone who stands still in life. In becoming someone who self-sabotagesthe good things that happen in life.
或者，過度分析和解析事情，因此，從享受目前事情中獲得的快樂消失?，F(xiàn)在，透徹思考的確是一件好的事情。但是一個過度思考者會變成在生活中止步不前的人、自我破壞發(fā)生在生活中好事的人。
I know. I used to overthink things a lot and it held me back in ways that weren’t fun at all.But in the past 8 years or so I have learned how to make this issue so small that it very rarelypops up anymore. And if it does then I know what to do then to overcome it.In this article I would like to share 9 habits that have helped me in a big, big way to become asimpler and smarter thinker and to live a happier and less fearful life.
我知道。我過去常常會過度思考事情，這讓我在道路上止步不前，毫無樂趣。但是在過去的八年里，我已經(jīng)學會如何讓這個問題變小以至于以后不再出現(xiàn)。如果出現(xiàn)了，那么我知道要做什么去克服它。在這篇文章中，我想要分享對我非常有幫助的9個習慣，它們幫助我成為一個更簡單更聰明的思考者，幫我過上一個更愉快、擔憂少的生活。
1. Put things into a wider perspective.
1.用更寬的角度看待事物
It is very easy to fall into the trap of overthinking minor things in life.
在日常生活瑣事中想太多簡直太平常了。
So when you are thinking and thinking about something ask yourself:
所以當你在思考，在考慮某件事的時候，你要問問自己：
I have found that widening the perspective by using this simple question can snap me quicklyout of overthinking and help me to let that situation go and focus my time and energy onsomething that actually does matter to me.
我已經(jīng)發(fā)現(xiàn)，從更廣闊的角度和用此類簡單的問題，能讓我迅速遠離想太多的境地，還能讓我順其自然，把時間和精力放在對我真正有意義的事情上。
2. Set short time-limits for decisions.
2.為做決定設一個短的時間限制。
If you do not have a time-limit for when you must make a decision and take action then youcan just keep turning your thoughts around and around and view them from all angles in yourmind for a very long time.
當必須做出一個決定或者采取行動時，如果你沒有為這件事做一個時間限制，那么你就會一直不斷地在這個問題上打轉，從所有的角度上來觀察它，這將耗費你非常長的一段時間。
So learn to become better at making decisions and to spring into action by setting deadlines inyour daily life. No matter if it is a small or bigger decision.
因此學會更好的做決定然后立刻根據(jù)在日常生活中設立最后期限作出行動。不管這是大還是小的決定。
Here’s what have worked for me.
這里是一些對我有用的方法：
For small decisions like if should go and do the dishes, respond to an email or work out Iusually give myself 30 seconds or less to make a decision.
像我是不是應該去洗碟子、去回復郵件或者出去鍛煉這樣的小問題，我常常給自己30秒或者更少的時間去作出決定。
3. Become a person of action.
3.做一個行動者
When you know how to get started with taking action consistently each day then you’llprocrastinate less by overthinking.
當你知道每天該如何不斷地付諸行動，那么你不會因為想太多而耽誤事情。
Setting deadlines is one thing that have helped me to become much more of person of action.
設置最后期限幫助我成為了一個行動者。
Taking small steps forward and only focusing on getting one small step done at a time isanother habit that have worked really well.
小步走向前，只關注每次走的一小步是另外一個很有用的方法。
4. Realize that you cannot control everything.
4.意識到你不能控制一切
Trying to think things through 50 times can be a way to try to control everything. To coverevery eventuality so you do not risk making a mistake, fail or looking like a fool.
把每件事都想上50遍是試圖控制一切的表現(xiàn)。為了把握每一個可能性，你不冒險去犯錯，不去失敗，甚至不會表現(xiàn)得想個傻子一樣。
But those things are a part of living a life where you truly stretch your comfort zone. Everyonewho you may admire and have lived a life that inspires you has failed. They have made mistakes.
但是這些事情是你生活的一部分，生活中你確實可以感受到舒適的空間。你崇拜的人或者過著激勵你的生活的人也失敗過，他們都會犯錯。
But in most cases they have also seen these things as valuable feedback to learn from. Thosethings that may look negative have taught them a lot and have been invaluable to help themto grow.
