Analysing helps you prepare for the worst. However, when the thinking goes overboard, it can lead to unhealthy habits like focusing on the negative or  worrying about the future which will then hinder yourself from taking action. So, you need to set a deadline to take action and do it.

If you are a beginner, seek out basic guided meditations when getting started. It could be as short as one minute to start making a difference.
