You can't argue with a market making new record highs, though it's fair game to interrogate the tape about its assumptions and intentions. With the Dow Jones Industrial Average closing above 40,000 for the first time Friday and the S & P 500 settling above 5,300 after hitting a fresh all-time high Wednesday, the advice of history suggests not overthinking it. Keith Lerner, strategist at Truist, marks up a long-term S & P 500 chart to show times when it was at an all-time high. Brian Belski, strategist at BMO, last week lifted his year-end S & P 500 target to a Street-high 5,600 . And, quite remarkably, the stock market low of October 2022 occurred at an S & P 500 forward P/E above 15, with unemployment below 4% and in mid-economic expansion.

It is well-documented how imposter syndrome can hinder you in the workplace. The cognitive bias which describes the condition of not feeling successful internally when you appear to be thriving externally can cause anxiety, self-doubt, and depression. But there is another mental trap that can play just as significant of a role in your career, says Amanda Montell, author of "The Age of Magical Overthinking:" the overconfidence bias. "Out of all our cognitive biases, none has consequences more dramatic or dangerous than overconfidence bias," Montell says. "A bit of 'fake it till you make it' will probably serve you well.

When a co-worker gets a promotion or praise at a staff meeting, what feelings arise? If it's anxiety or jealousy, you might suffer from a zero-sum bias, says Amanda Montell, author of the new book "The Age of Magical Overthinking." Zero-sum bias, or zero-sum thinking, refers to the mistaken belief that another person's gain is your loss. This, Montell says, can cause a strain in your relationships and feed negative thoughts regarding your worth. To curb sentiments of envy, Montell suggests befriending a person whose success you find aspirational.

Here are five things I do when I need to stop overthinking everything:1. Write it outWhen you need to process your feelings or an experience, instead of overthinking, practice expressive writing. Try this exercise over the course of three days: Day 1: Spend 15 to 20 minutes writing about the stress and trauma that is plaguing you. Researchers say it's because writing can help you go deeper into your emotions, while also creating some distance and an end point.
