Avoid Paralysis by Overanalysis

Immersion in a problem can lead to paralysis by analysis, especially in executing automatic behaviors under pressure. Focusing too closely on the intricate details of a task, such as a golf swing or shooting a basketball, can overwhelm us due to the complex nature of these movements.

To break free from these negative feedback loops, it is essential to step back, maintain perspective, and consider alternative ways of thinking to cool down and avoid stress, anxiety, and depression.
