you want to do everything so you do nothing

Do you ever feel overwhelmed by all the lives you could live that you end up not choosing any? I want to do everything, so I do nothing is a combination of overwhelming decision paralysis and the fear of taking the wrong path. It is driven by the paradox of choice, having too many choices that choosing one feels like abandoning the rest that your brain shuts down. In this video I run through why we feel this way, different archetypes that fall into this rut and why and how you can break out of the loop 🤍
