@kaubvaj1848 you are right. The video covers 5 deep topics in 2 minutes each. Not likely to help many people. To stop overthinking, do things. To get started on doing things, use starting rituals: find one that works for you (stare at a wall as a way to break your thinking state, count backwards from 5 - experiment!).

[@nicolasfraga8430]

Amazing how despite being separated by time and space, Marcus Aurelius and Miyamoto Musashi came to the exact same conclusion: Avoid doing unnecessary things. Probably the ronin did not know about the roman emperor, yet, much of his philosophy has similarities with Aurelius's estoicism. So inspiring to see that our souls find similar paths when we look for making our lives better, and to live in harmony with the world.

[@slowacki1138]

The way you explained overthinking, it felt as if I was talking to myself. This is exactly what happens to me! Great video, keep it up👍

[@olgawolga2901]

A great way to stop any thinking at all: First relax like you would meditate. In your mind scan your body beginning at the feet and moving to the head, but by doing it FEEL every body part physically how it feels right now. The closer you go to the head you will notice that the feeling is getting more tense but don't start to think again. Only try to feel your head space don't use your thinking. You will notice that thoughts will try to invade your mind again but as soon aß this happens turn the thought into a feeling. Once your fully in the head area you really feel into it. Thoughts are linear but feelings are fluid and can be reversed into a good body feeling. So what you want to do is to convert every thought into a feeling wich gives you full controll of your thoughts. Do this untill you reach a good body feeling in your head. You will start to really feel your head, your third eye, you will see flickering light patterns but don't freak out, this is just your third eye taking over the brain activity. Do this daily and any thoughts will become a body feeling wich your third eye can alchemise and integrate into your body awareness.

[@iLL_WiLL_]

Everyone wants that, but no one has that choice. Succeeding isn't actually in your control. Your only control in the matter is to keep going and to not quit. You could do everything right and still wind up on your ass. Or everything wrong and still luck into it. It's random. The best way to try and get your outcome is to do what you feel is right in the moment. If it seems to be working, you continue. But if it's not, you adapt. As long as you don't quit, you will become a better version of yourself, but it may not be in the way you expected.

I try to think "it's good enough" (to avoid perfectionism and/ obsession with perfect control/understanding). It helps to have something external to force you to break the thoughts (like... a job, even part-time, or other social "obligation", or having to work or get for something...)

[@julesfalcone]

2:45 I've been thinking this for a little while now. I realized it's not about what we do; it's about what we stopped doing. When we stop letting in the noise and other negativity, it makes everything much more clear; much easier, and we're naturally in the flow. Then it's about staying in the Flow, by continuing to simply keep away the negativity. We're doing things; but it doesn't feel like work. We accomplish things but we're not struggling. It's peaceful.

[@DougDeYoung-gt4id]

This is key. There are two states thinking and sensing. Contemplation is not thinking but watching the situation. The irony of this world is we are blocked in our brain to below 10% and the more you learn and think the more you are hindered. Learn to think only when needed and sense the rest of the time and you will unlock your brain. Thinking is the cage, sensing is heaven.

[@Veej77]

Never fight with the minf, it's like fighting with your own shadow - you'll never win. 1 thing spirituality and meditation teaches is to give your full focus on that thought or anciety. Sit down and just focus inwards to the mind area that is giving this anxiety. Do it for a few mins 3-5 mins. You'll find that this will help to create some clarity but a space will open up making you feel better. This is open-eye meditation. Do it often and it will help you master your mind. 🙏

[@libidus69]

This is my personal opinion. I have watched & gone to many seminars and therapies related to overthinking, anxiety and all the related issues. Lets talk about two of the main common solutions (summing up from all the above experience) normally recommend: 1) To be in the ‘present moment’ 2) To be in the state of awareness. Mind you, most of these overthinkers are perfectionist, and asking them to be in 1) & 2) state would not solve the problem. I’ve go through the journey. None could help me much UNTIL I apply the Pareto Law (80:20). This Pareto Law helps to take people out of the perfectionist mindset and focus on helping people to strive to be in 1) & 2) state 80% of the time, not 100% of the time. With that in mind, then everything else will fall into place.

There are no internal struggles. There are only the external needs. Removing the desire that you cannot obtain or seeking help is your only mental dilemma. Fear is understanding your limitations. Death the reward for the brave. In swordplay this is more true for one of the party. Thinking like a ninja is crucial to the success of eliminating fear. You can only question if that person deserves to die.

1. **Identify the Root Cause:** Understand the underlying reasons for overthinking by exploring your fears and insecurities. 2. **Be Flexible:** Avoid fixating on finding the perfect solution; be open to different paths and outcomes. 3. **Follow Your True Desires:** Don't let societal expectations dictate your path; pursue what truly resonates with you. 4. **Focus on What Matters:** Eliminate unnecessary distractions and concentrate on actions that align with your goals. 5. **Focus on Self-Improvement:** Instead of comparing yourself to others, focus on personal growth and progress each day. 6. **Respect Timing:** Understand the importance of patience and seizing opportunities when the time is right; rushing can lead to stress and overthinking.
