So there you are at Whole Foods.

You see an absolutely beautiful woman.

You observe what she’s doing. She’s at the fish counter. It seems like she’s ordering some fish, and you start thinking to yourself, “What do I say? What do I do?”

But that’s not even your biggest problem.

The real problem is that you have Al Michaels and Chris Collingsworth in your head, commentating on your every move and lack of moves.

Because we all know that knowing what to say is easy—it’s as simple as, “How’s your day?” or “What type of fish are you getting?” As long as you don’t lose enthusiasm, you’re fine.

No, the problem is the commentators in your head.

Al and Chris constantly saying things like:

“Alright man, don’t screw up here. It’s third down and 10. I can’t believe second and 10 they were in pass defense, and you decided to throw long—you couldn’t even read the defense! And now there she is, staring at the fish right now, and she might want to do a screen pass with the tilapia…”

But you decide to run with the comment about the shrimp instead. Is that the right move? If you mess this up, everybody in the deli is going to boo.

You’re…overanalyzing.

You have commentators inside your head that are analyzing every single move you make.

But in reality, there’s nobody inside your head. All you have to do is make the move and not care.

You don’t have 75,000 people screaming at you, second guessing you.

It doesn’t matter what you say as long as you say something and listen.

So how do you get rid of Al and Chris that are plaguing you inside your brain? Just stop listening to them, and get present in the moment.
