To tell you the truth, I was overthinking and "tried" to watch this video to gain insight to stop overthinking. Needless to say, I have to watch this over because I couldn't stop thinking while I was watching. I will try again and do my best. That's all I can do. Thank you for your channel. I am truly grateful for all the work you do to make us aware and to become more stoic. Peace and love from the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State.🙏♥️🇺🇲

[@dameanvil]

00:42 🏔 Recognize overthinking as an external force: Visualize thoughts as transient, separate from your core identity, and let them pass by. 03:26 🎯 Refocus your energy: Ground yourself in the present by engaging fully in an activity, redirecting your mental energy from future worries to immediate tasks. 06:11 🍃 Embrace impermanence: Practice letting go of thoughts, understanding that they are transient and not permanent fixtures in your life. 08:49 🕰 Create a worry period: Designate specific time to address worries, analyzing and understanding them, but confine them to that time frame to regain control over your day. 11:23 🛠 Break down overwhelming thoughts: Slice big worries into manageable steps, focusing on the immediate action rather than the entire problem, reducing overthinking. 13:40 🙏 Shift to gratitude: Cultivate a perspective of gratitude by acknowledging and appreciating three things daily, redirecting focus from lack to abundance. 16:07 🎯 Focus on effort, not outcome: Redirect thoughts to the quality of your efforts, intentions, and values, being fully present in the process rather than fixating on uncertain outcomes. 18:23 ❄ Practice voluntary discomfort: Step out of your comfort zone through chosen discomfort, fostering resilience and adaptability to reduce overthinking. 20:37 🌍 Reflect on the transience of life: Gain perspective by considering the fleeting nature of our existence, prioritizing experiences and concerns to diminish overthinking. 22:38 🤝 Seek wisdom outside yourself: Share thoughts with trusted individuals for clarity and objective feedback, recognizing the value of human connection in navigating overthinking.

[@PayMe888]

It’s the dark spirits that are very patient , persistent, and work like clock work to pounce at the opportunity to have dominion over u and feed u a thought or 2 that u can’t exit out ur mind . Then u backslide and ur using ur will power to feed lust . They work to make the experience in a favorable manner to them till you get out of their grip. All this stuff ur learning is good but they are just another human soul. Some are remembered because of their high intelligence and enchanting ways that ppl even study 100’s years later or even 1000’s. He’s probably in hell tbh and I wish not. Read the Bible and ur wisdom and understanding will be given to u. Much more than this soul of the past. Proverbs chapter 8. Look it up

[@UnconditionaLoveNDE]

This is to commemorate the soul of my beautiful Grandpa, Harold Brown, who had an indomitable, stoic spirit coupled with the kindest, sweetest heart! May all of us stoics find that ultimate place of eternal joy, regardless of external circumstances.

He left you with the best legacy. The virtues he lived by. My deepest prayers and blessings upon Harold Brown.

Watching this video has opened my eyes. It's literally just described how my brain works, overthinking everything, worrying about things that in the long run will have no effect on my life. Thank you for this video

[@thestoiccommunity]

Glad it was helpful. Stay tuned for more

[@TylerRogers-tz6tw]

yes

[@gregoryjanczak7013]

Stoic Way #7, Focus on Effort Not Outcome, resonated the most with me; especially looking at "each step is an accomplishment in itself." This video gave profound wisdom and advice, breaking barriers to profound growth, change and a richer life.

[@whiteraiment6751]

" think of 3 things youre grateful for " i did while previous thinking obout a worrysom situation and the emotion of worry dissipated! Thats gone come in real handy at work

[@ygg9888]

The thing is, it’s like my brain still has a hard time distinguishing that they are just thoughts, that the danger is not there anymore.

[@sophiethelk9557]

I can resonate with this too

[@user-pm7en6dl5c]

I'm going to watch this again. Definitely something i've struggled with for awhile. Seneca couldn't be further from the truth. It's basically a battlefield of the mind.

[@RobertPauly-jw7us]

Over thinking is my main problem in life. And I worry about stuff that never even happens but it could happen. And I waste time worrying about stuff that doesn't happen. So I am the example of someone that overthinks and it literally ruins my whole life. With the exception of a certain percentage of my life is really good. You taught me in 1 day that over thinking is ruining my life and tommorow will be a new day! You just solved a 30 year stress problem So now you taught people that over thinking can really destroy a person's life, including mine! So now you have to perfect this philosophy in your mind, which will not be that easy because life sucks sometimes. But that is what you have to do to make everything. A little better!

[@topps9647]

You and me are cut from the same cloth robert. Each day is a struggle but we gotta keep fighting it.

[@markamark123]

I listen to this channel with my cup of coffee in the morning. It helps put things in perspective. Thank you

[@LornaStoney-xr8qu]

Thank you this is so comforting. My overthinking is so addictive and exhausting to the point of illness when it gets out of control. That is why at times I would kerp myself busy or socialize if needs to be. ❤🙏🏼

[@nicholastracy4915]

It was far easier to let thoughts go in prison than in freedom, because, I had accepted the futility of anxiety while there and time passed while focusing on small tasks like bettering myself through reading, self reflection and consistent work outs. Since I came home, I had to truly calm myself down and get centered, it's taken far longer than I even did in prison.

[@thestoiccommunity]

Thank you for sharing your experience with us.

[@zacharyperez2427]

Number 10 connects with me greatly! I went almost my entire life feeling alone and ignored. My ex changed how i feel about myself, and how it's OK to share. Sharing personal information creates personal relationships, and I know that now... thanks to her🙏

[@303machine]

This is opposite of what everyone says in self-help, spiritual journes, about, "love yourself" so you can love others. If I love myself I don't need everyone else, I am self-sufficient. Humans are created to be social animals, although men are interesting in things, how things work, and women more about interpersonal relationships. Men and women complement each other and reflect themselves in other. Not many people, mostly men have luck as you, which is becoming more prominent in today's western society to find someone.

[@zacharyperez2427]

@303machine the paradox of loving yourself without learning what true love is from the affection of others has plagued society for centuries. How can you stay mentally isolated and love your sense of being while pursuing an emotion that hasn't been felt yet? To truly love is to truly be alive, for it is not when you're put 6 feet under that your life ends, but when your emotions fade to black and you become just another name. To be happy, angry, sad, confused, excited, etc. can all be everyday emotions, but true love comes only a handful of times, and I now know what I'm looking for!

[@bmxbandito9]

These Stoics were buff back in the day

[@MalandrosNyclo]

I have never head it called "Paralysis by analysis before" I can't express my simultaneous amusement and the rhyme, shock that such an accurate phrasing exists, horror/envy because I didn't think of it first , and just general appreciation for being understood.

[@jinden33]

Thank you so much for this video! I will be playing it over and over until it becomes second nature.

[@bigc6632]

As I study this more, I realize how much of it I applied already through experiences in my life thus far Stay humble

[@inceptionsd]

Remember that picture of Paris Hilton with a shirt saying "Stop being poor"? Well, all these motivtional videos remind me of it. Its so easy to speak what is right and good for you, anxiety and depression come from mental disorders which warp your perception of reality, it is NOT something you have control over and can decide to change just like that.

[@NSDIMMU]

Your perception of the video is wrong but I understand what you mean. It's about changing your thought process and challenging intrusive thoughts. Guidance on how to make positive mental changes that will in turn heal you physically

[@The_Bearded_Spook]

This video was exactly what I needed today. Thank you for posting.

[@justexploring6979]

Great video. I'm surprised you didn't elaborate on Seneca's quote, "We suffer more from imagination than in reality", this was the perfect video topic for it! Thank you again

[@BrainstormHaZe_]

That’s literally the only thing I agree on…. I’m sorry but You have to overthink in order to see all outcomes of the situation you’re in……

you are right i agree with you im making content on stoicism need your support #thriveup

Our brains love to create problems. Mindfulness and Stoicism help calm it down. I like the mindfulness workbook called 30 Days to Reduce Anxiety by Harper Daniels.

[@hinthegroove9740]

Heaven sent 😊

[@ubbethefrisian8984]

Thoughts indeed sometimes weigh heavy, lingering in your mind like leaden, dense iron. Ruminating consumes such vitality, causing you to forget or push away all else that's profoundly vital. Embracing stoicism renders it easier, for the eternal wisdom is worth its weight in gold in the bustling society we presently inhabit. Thank you for this insightful video and words, they will aid many in rediscovering the joy of living once more.

[@danavenzor1169]

In addition to these things I get stuck on thoughts about being betrayed and hurt and abused by people, especially people that I believed had my best interest at heart and instead they were just using me. I am a target for predation, and I get stuck a lot of the time ruminating over the fact that there are very mean people on this planet, who seek out victim, such as myself in order to pray upon them And use up their resources to further themselves to me. This is so hard to accept. I just sit and well on things like how can people be like this? How are people so evil to one another? How can people be so ugly and hurtful and act like they don’t know right from wrong and deliberately hurt each other, and just betrayal to the point where your trust is turned inside out by someone that you thought would never do something like that that’s what I get stuck on help any advice please thank you.

[@MrWells-tj2qo]

Much needed

[@EcstaticTemporality]

Method 10 definitely resonated with me. Fresh perspective from a friend or colleague can provide the insight to consider yourself and excessive rumination in a transparent light. I find myself struggling with what ifs and self-talk that disserves my interests and undermines my performance, because I am unable to disentangle my overthinking of outcomes with my actions in the present.

Yes it is very possible to never worry the narrator is wrong about this when it says it is impossible to never worry. Actually you can never worry because truly all you are doing is THINKING!!!! WORRY IS AN IMPOSSIBILITY

Very helpful video, I do very overthinking, to reduce overthink and be in present is in the brain and small action but it also require Very little effort and i understand continuous efforts require and then only it becomes habbit.

[@RobertPauly-jw7us]

Hey, these philosophies are completely awesome.And I wonder, do you believe in God.? Because you are getting very good advice to everyone. So I think you are doing a very good thing and helping people alot with your advice. So God bless you! My job is extremely stressful and I take it home with me at Rex whole weeks at a time. But over the years I have learned to deal with things but with your philosophy. I can probably knock out all the problems in a couple weeks. ! Many of your philosophies are MI philosophy. But I am not going all out and just acting on it. To solve the problems so beginning this week. I will go all out with your philosophy added to my philosophy and I will get back to you and tell you how my week is going. Now I will watch the rest of the video

[@dayveda3736]

Regimented enjoyable breathing…does wonders. After a while the breath…breathes you. Oh and plugging the ears tightly with silicone ears plugs…allows you to hear yourself think and hear yourself clearly. This takes time but if your in a big city like I am. Plugging your ears with comfortable ear plugs, the kind that really blocks out the sound and bad vibes. Breath! Stretch! Everyday!
