Have You Overcorrected?

Today I have a topic for you that has been coming up for me over and over again in conversations with friends, with people I work with, and in my own head: overcorrection. We know what it means to overcorrect in a car, but we do it in our decision-making too. We experience something as so painful, so frustrating, so unbearably uncomfortable, that we turn the wheel a full 180 in our efforts to get away from it. And sometimes that works. But often it leads us somewhere we don’t actually want to go.
