Anand Mahindra's advice for overthinkers comes with a podcast clip | Watch

Industrialist Anand Mahindra has an advice for people who overthink. Sharing a video from a podcast, where the host and Ricky Nuttall, a London firefighter who suffered from PTSD, talk about challenges in life.

Mahindra posted the 46-second clip with the caption: “Live in the present. Especially when facing temporary challenges. One day at a time; one step at a time.”

In the video, Nuttall talks about a quote that helped him immensely when the host asks him what his advice was to overthinkers.

“A quote that has helped me immeasurably and it’s from a book called The Boy, The Mole, The Fox and The Horse (by Charlie Mackesy). And one of my favourite quotes of the whole book is a boy and a horse are in the woods. And the boy says to the horse: I can’t see a way through. And the horse says: can you see your next step? And the boy says ‘yeah’. The horse says: ‘then just take that’,” Nuttall said.

He continued: “All of time we look at the goal, we look at the future, we look at the endgame, we look at how long a journey is, and we feel overwhelmed. Instead of that, just go: right, I’m not going to worry about that because that will come. With each step you will get closer to that, so I don’t need to worry about how far away it is. All I need to focus on right now is my next step.”
