Short answer to the question in your title: Yes.

The analysis is an attempt at control. If you really want to enjoy life you need to let your mind relax enough to take in the world around you, and allow the Universe to provide.

In other words, you need to relinquish control, at least to a certain extent.

Example: Your lady friend is not responding in the ways that you like. This kind of thinking is a recipe for continual frustration. She has her own mind, and will make her own decisions. All you can do is appreciate her for the person that she is, and the person that she is growing into. Hopefully you can share a part of that journey together, and enrich each other's lives.

There's nothing wrong with working toward the things you want. But don't think you can control every detail of your manifestations. Along that path lies misery. Life has a charming way of giving you exactly what you need, when you need it. Allow that process to take place, and you will find that you have all you will ever need.

In my experience, over analyzing hurts the flow in life.

It's so easy to do. Now looking back it seemed like a waste of time like looking down a tunnel with blinders on.

It is hard to do but stepping back and looking at the whole picture is proven to be better.

I'm always working hard to force myself to do that.

The way I see it is, overanalyzing is a form of not trusting the LOA to work on your behalf. So I would say yes, it hurts your FLOW. Remember ASK AND IT IS GIVEN...all you have to do is be in the ALLOWING and leave the rest up to the Universe. It's really that simple. However, sometimes we complicate things with fear of not having and therefore keep our good from manifesting --simply because we get what we think about--whether we want it or not (sound familiar???).

All the best.

Relax.......breathe, think good, fun and positive thoughts and just go with the FLOW...it truly feels better to be in the allowing of life!

Chris, I have been guilty of this as well, throughout my adult life. At times I knew I was sabotaging my happiness with over-thinking, but was unable to stop. In time, working with the LOA over many years, I have learned, when I catch myself over-thinking, to not fight it; just recognize the feelings and thoughts, and replace them with better ones (tedious but helpful) like "I will be just great, no matter how this turns out. In fact it may come out much better than I had even hoped" and then I let it go. You do get better with letting go and living in the moment with practice; it becomes easier! Keep going with your program!

I'd agree with Back2Basics.

As B2B says, it's easy to do, and I'd add that in a way for any thinking entity it's also inevitable too, it's a 'phase' one will go through. For only by over-analysing things in the first place can one gain from the experience by learning not to do it!

And the lesson learnt from analysing the act of over-analysing can be distilled down into the concept of 'The Law of Diminishing Returns'. And so one acquires new knowledge about the nature of Mind!

Also, one has to watch out for when analysing turns into 'worrying'. Worrying is what the Mind does when thinking about something fails to yield any answers, but it nevertheless continues to think about it anyway! Worrying can of course become chronic.

Like B2B says, it's helpful to step back and look at the wider picture, as a way of putting things into their proper perspective, what daleks would call the 'context'.

OK then, I'll stop there, before I end up over-analysing the nature of over-analysing and it turns into some weird bottomless vortex ... eek!

All The Best!
