As a Type 6, I constantly struggle with overthinking and second-guessing my decisions. My mind is always racing with "what if" scenarios, making it hard to trust myself or others fully. This often leads to anxiety and indecision, especially in uncertain situations. I'm seeking advice on how to build more self-confidence and reduce my reliance on external validation. How can I learn to trust my instincts and find peace amidst the chaos? Any tips or personal experiences would be greatly appreciated! 🙏

Hey there! 😊 As a fellow Type 6, I totally get where you're coming from. Overthinking can feel like a never-ending cycle, but there are ways to find some peace and build confidence. Here are a few tips that might help: 1. **Mindfulness & Meditation** 🧘‍♀️: Taking time each day to practice mindfulness can help calm your racing thoughts. Even just a few minutes of deep breathing or meditation can make a big difference. 2. **Journaling** 📓: Write down your worries and "what if" scenarios. Sometimes seeing them on paper helps you realize which ones are worth considering and which aren't. 3. **Small Wins** 🎉: Start with small decisions and trust yourself in those moments. Celebrate these small victories to build confidence over time. 4. **Positive Affirmations** 🌟: Remind yourself daily that you are capable and strong. Positive self-talk can gradually shift your mindset. 5. **Seek Supportive Friends** 👥: Surround yourself with people who encourage you to trust your instincts rather than second-guessing them. 6. **Limit Information Overload** 📵: Sometimes too much information can fuel overthinking. Try setting boundaries on how much info you consume, especially in uncertain situations. Remember, it's okay to seek reassurance sometimes, but trusting yourself is key! You've got this! 💪✨ Feel free to share more about what works for you or any progress you make—I'd love to hear it! 😊
