Gayathri Shivaram's Secret to Overcoming Overthinking and Building Self-Trust

If you overthink everything, you are not alone. Many people have this problem. Gayathri Shivaram, a motivational speaker, claims a lack of self-trust is the leading cause of overthinking. When we don't trust ourselves, doubts and insecurities take control, causing unnecessary anxiety.

The Cycle of Doubt: Why We Question Ourselves

Imagine you wanted to wake up at 5 a.m. every day, but every time the alarm went off, you clicked the snooze button and went back to sleep. A month later, it's difficult to trust you. The next time you make a goal, you'll worry if you can actually accomplish it. This is when overthinking takes over, making you doubt your talents and feel trapped.

Breaking the Cycle: Getting over Distractions and Guilt

Sometimes, when we feel stuck, we start to compare ourselves with others. You may think to yourself, "Why is everybody else moving on, and I am not?" Most people end up distracting themselves by binge-watching shows, scrolling through social media, or overeating. Such distractions only bring temporary relief; the cycle just continues.

Building Self-Trust: The Solution to Moving Ahead

The way out of this vicious cycle is by self-trust rebuildment. Gayathri says that you should start doing that which you promised yourself to do so that the moment you do not see anything, people will say, Even if you don't see immediate results or validation. Your consistent action, no matter how small, would help build back one's confidence and trust in oneself.
