Stop Overthinking: Your First Instinct Is Often Right

You've been told to think it through, weigh every option, and never rush a decision. But what if all that thinking is the very thing keeping you stuck? Most people believe that overthinking is just being careful. Carl Jung saw something different. In Modern Man in Search of a Soul, he argued that modern people trust the rational mind so much that they lose touch with the deeper, instinctive part of themselves, the part that often knows the answer before the thinking even starts. This video explores why endless analysis leaves you more confused, how overthinking can become a way to avoid choosing, and how to start trusting your first instinct again without acting recklessly.
