I keep doing this thing.

I have something I want to write about.

But then I start questioning:

Is this valuable enough?

Will it land the way I want?

Who’s it even for?

And suddenly—I’m not writing.

I’m just thinking about whether I should.

3 signs you’re overthinking what to post:

1. You keep rephrasing the same idea

Not because it isn’t clear.

But because you’re hoping one version will finally feel safe enough to share.

2. You’re waiting for it to feel “ready”

The idea sits in your head for days.

But really—you’re waiting for the uncertainty to go away.

3. The longer you sit with it, the less clear it becomes

At first, the idea felt sharp.

But the more you think about it, the more tangled it gets.

Thinking isn’t clarifying it anymore—it’s multiplying the doubts.

⸻

Here’s what I’m realizing:

You’re not overthinking what to post.

You’re overthinking whether you’re allowed to.

Whether it’s valuable enough.

Whether anyone will care.

That’s not discernment, that’s waiting for certainty.

And no amount of thinking gives you that.

The posts that actually get out there—the ones I finally stop thinking about—

They’re never fully figured out.

They’re never as “ready” as I thought they should be.

But they get posted anyway.

Not because they were perfect.

But because they were said.
