10 Toxic Thoughts: Are They Ruining Your Life?

"People spend way too much time agonizing over decisions," says Dr. Debbie Magids, a clinical psychologist in New York City. "It can be debilitating." On top of that, she says, agonizing over the "right" course can lead to procrastination. So what do you do? "People have to 'self talk' and shift their thoughts," she says. "They have to tell themselves that if this choice ends up to be a choice that doesn't get the desired result, they can always make a new choice. The world will not end, they will not die, there is always another chance."
