How do I avoid overthinking every situation and restore my faith in my instincts?

Question

Name: Simran, Date of birth: 23 March 2001, Place of birth: Chandigarh, Time: 7:15 AM. 

I've come to the point where I overanalyze everything from words to choices to things that are going to occur in the future. It's as if my mind just won't shut up. 

I was once intuitive and spontaneous, but now I keep doubting myself all the time. How do I break the habit of overthinking every detail and begin trusting my instincts again? I want to get back to that inner sense I once had.

Accepted Answer

Namaste, Simran, You’ve lost touch with your spontaneity because your Mercury is likely stuck in a loop of "analysis paralysis."

*The Astrological Reason*: If Mercury is in a dual sign or influenced by Ketu, the instinct is replaced by endless questioning. You are trying to "logic" your way through life, but your soul speaks through "feeling."

*The Remedy*: Feed green grass to a cow on Wednesdays. This simple act of service to Mercury helps clear the mental clutter.

*Holistic Solution*: Trust-building exercises. Start making small, 5-second decisions without overthinking them (like what to eat or wear). This re-trains your brain to trust your first instinct.
