Do you think too much?

Hey you 👋🏾

If you’re like most people in this community, you probably spent a lot of last year thinking. Thinking about your goals, reflecting on your life choices, maybe even contemplating who you are at your core.

But here’s the thing: you can’t think your way into growth. The biggest life shifts don’t happen in your head—they happen out there, in the real world, when you do something new.

So grab a beverage of choice (maybe mix it up), get cozy, and let’s talk about making 2025 the year of action.

You already know I’ve got a lesson, 3 questions, and a dare for you!

[A LESSON]

Thinking is safe. Doing is vulnerable.

That’s why it’s easier to stay stuck in our minds, turning things over and over (and over) instead of taking the leap.

But here’s what psychology teaches us: too much introspection can lead to rumination. This is when reflection stops being productive and starts becoming a cycle of self-doubt, over-analysis, and anxiety.

Action, on the other hand, breaks that cycle.

Experiential learning—a fancy term for learning by doing—is one of the most effective ways to grow. When you put yourself in new situations, you create opportunities to challenge old beliefs, shift your perspective, and develop confidence.

Want to know the secret sauce to growth?

It’s the blend of inner work (introspection) and outer work (experience). You need both.

Here’s what happens when you start doing:

1. You get unstuck. All those things you’ve been thinking about? You can start testing them in the real world.

2. You become braver. Every time you do something new, you build trust in yourself—and that trust turns into courage (and a stronger sense of self-connection).

3. You surprise yourself. You’ll discover things about who you are that no amount of introspection could have revealed.

So if you spent 2024 thinking about a lot, make 2025 the year you act on it.

Try something new. Put yourself out there.

Because at the end of the day, building a life you love doesn’t come from overthinking—it comes from living.

[3 QUESTIONS ]

1. What’s one thing you’ve been overthinking that you could start testing in real life?

2. What’s one small, safe action you could take outside your comfort zone this week?

3. When was the last time you surprised yourself by doing something you weren’t sure you could?

[A DARE]

I dare you…

To make 2025 the year you stop waiting for the ‘right moment’ and start creating moments instead!

And if you’re in Toronto - I DARE YOU - to come join us on Sunday 26th Jan for Self-Dating!

The premise is similar to speed-dating, but instead of meeting other people, you’re spending time with different parts of yourself (but you will also meet a few cool new people). 

​You will move through a series of tables, each focused on a different area of your Self, like values, memories, dreams, or personal beliefs. At each station, you’ll have a set amount of time to work through a thought-provoking question or psychological exercise. Once time’s up, you’ll move to the next table—another part of yourself waiting to be explored.

​We are keeping this event private, small and cozy so there are a limited number of tickets, and for the next 2 hours, we are giving you first dibs.

After that, we’re opening it up to everyone else.

So if you’re interested, If you’re thinking about it - take action. Start 2025 the way you mean to continue. Investing in you.

Secure your seat HERE!

See you there?

As always, hit reply and let me know how the exploring goes.

See you on a Sunday (hopefully the 26th)!
