For People Who Overthink Everything (How to Stop)

[@JoeDelaneyy]

Yo people! Not fitness, but one I fancied making - hope you enjoy the slightly different style in parts. Have yourselves a thoroughly nice day xx

[@syedrizvi1425]

Joe have you ever done brazilian jiu jitsu?

[@Arnoldmondello]

I love hearing your thought process, like Shit I’m not the only one that thinks about this stuff! Joey d bringing the lads together again

[@samuelrosa1628]

These sorts of videos are sick! More of these and the podcast mate

[@harrywhyte1193]

Joe, I have a question and it would be much appreciated if you could answer, please. The mistake in that sentence "his real mistake was there was a right choice, to begin with". Surely the operative word in the above quote is "right"? because it implies there was a correct decision that dave could have made but there was not however there was A decision to be made because he had to options so, therefore, the operative word is "right" and not "a"?.

[@faizanhussain9377]

I'm so overwhelmed with gratitude that you've started making these videos not only about fitness anymore but about being a human. So much love.

[@tracidvoyager]

For real. Seeing the growth of this channel from Ibiza shreds and fingering to universals and everyday zen is a thing of beauty

[@zoc2]

So damn true

I've been struggling mentally lately...it stems from over thinking and pandemic fatigue. Feeling lost and alone....thanks for sharing this. I feel a little less alone after watching it

“Make a choice, then make it right “ 🌊

[@RyanForrest1664]

I feel that this video needs wayyyyy more coverage than it has already got. Very very insightful mate. More so than mainstream information would give.

[@kebabtank]

Thank you so much for this Joe. This is how anxiety works and I have been suffering from it for most of my life. Overthinking creates inertia, whis why in extreme cases, people are unable to even leave their house. It is very important to give our minds some 'breathing' space, and turn off our phones and computers at night. Once you are aware of the problem, it will ways be there to a certain degree, but you will be able to manage it better. All the best.

[@Thenoobity1]

‘Make a choice, then make it right’ the best thing I have heard when it comes to overthinking

This is one of the best videos I have ever watched.

[@MamaSwole]

I love when you upload your videos always get me in a good frame of mind

[@jeppekristensen6485]

Was in the middle of some serious overthinking when i saw this. Actually helped me so much dude. Perfect timing and thanks man

[@rushbros]

Thanks man, this video helped a lot. Two biggest points I'm taking from this is stopping myself in the process of overthinking and ask if it deserves as much attention as I'm giving it, and if I determine that it is, I know it's better to make a decision and then put the effort in to make sure that it's the right decision. I've sort of been doing the latter in new relationships for a while now and it's definitely helped. Rather than thinking about "Should I ask this girl out?" or "Is it weird for me to invite my new friend along to this?" I've just been doing it, and putting the energy that I would've used for deliberation into making it fun. It used to be really painful to be social because I used to spend so much time thinking about what to say and never had confidence in what I said, but now I've focused on just saying shit that comes to mind and it helps me be more "in the moment" and warm and personable to people. How you say things is honestly way more important than what you say. Impressions of people, in my opinion, are formed largely from body language and general "sociability", rather than the content of their sentences. For some reason I always had this wrong. I really noticed it in a recent job interview, where I was able to make jokes and answer questions that I hadn't prepared for, whereas in the past I would have been so stressed that talking would have been difficult. Being able to ask my interviewers questions and say things like, "I think that question would be better answered after [information they were going to provide at the end of the interview]" made me feel as though I was somewhat in control of the interview and took me out of the hot seat. It's weird to say, but I hope to continue my progress and be able to feel truly comfortable having a conversation with anyone, in almost any situation. Thanks for this video. This side of you keeps you down to earth and it's the reason you're the only person in this genre of KZbin that I've remained subscribed to.

[@NathanRofail]

This resonated with me a lot.. I tend to overthink constantly. Great video!

[@akmayt5961]

I have been watching your videos for over 5 years and still enjoy them, but never felt the need to post a comment. I'm an extreme overthinker myself altough most things in my life are going great. This video helped me realise things that I already knew but only subconcious. You helped me a lot. Thank you.

[@JanZamani]

Ok, so I'm a chronic overthinker Thank you for this video, it's awesome and some great insights in here. I've slowly gotten better at avoiding at overthinking, there are a few practices that have helped me with this problem, hope it helps someone else. 1. meditation - either you can meditate on your problems and thoughts to get think them and get them out of your mind or you can meditate on nothing but your breathing to train your mind into thinking about less (or nothing). 2. journalling- just writing down your stream of thought worries, helps you express your thoughts and feelings so they don't just swirl around in your head and replay on repeat in your head 3. setting your goals and routines ahead of time (and don't change them) - write down your goals, the date you want them to be completed and your strategy for achieving them. With any routines for the day, for cleaning, everything. I write it all down and follow it based on my calendar. I also write all my apointments and obligations into my calendar. This way everything is more or less decided for you, you don't always feel the need to think about if they're the right decision because you can't change them. You effectively limit your decision making time to when you come to the end of a goal and need to re-evaluate new ones. I hope this helps anyone else also struggling with overthinking.

[@SaqibMoghul]

Literally one of the most real people around in this crazy world. Respect Joe. Respect.

[@CB-ci6ph]

The editing of this video is actually unreal. I have really been struggling with this topic for a while and it seems this video has given me a slight different outlook. Thanks for indirectly giving me some quality advice.

[@EvanPett]

You are not alone in this, we are way too many. I've seen videos of you before, but this convinced me to subscribe.

[@katlegotjeane5943]

I thought there's not much more you could say that was not redundant at this point, and you've surprised me again. Great video. Thank you

Joey D saving the day once again with a new vid!

[@BenBarberFitness]

FACTS!

[@bianca207]

This helped put things in to perspective. I like that you used clear diagrams, and relatable examples. Good to see you branching out with the content, it's always a treat when someone uses their platform for things that can greatly help others

[@Rosstheboss-kg8ve]

Really grateful for that video thanks Joe

[@Ohhsoodead]

I studied philosophy for like 2 years and I gotta say how you approach your thinking and your decision-making is really humble and self-reflective. This was a really good video on spreading this kind of information and humility. Nice vid dude, I hope to see more like this.

[@Charliemajor]

Algothinking This style is my favourite of yours, I'm glad you enjoy making these because I enjoy learning from them

[@pn4639]

What can be said but.......what a guy....fitness food and now self insight. Thank you brah

[@xxjon2killxx912]

You’re one of the realist guys out there bro . All the best sending my love from Trinidad and Tobago 🇹🇹 ❤️ bless

[@zoemalcolm2897]

This was seriously amazing! Beautiful, well said, compassionate, honest and brave… I’m working on it.

[@rafaelkimmel]

This is just amazing....you put my thoughts into words...been trying to stop overthinking, and make a choice, instead of infinite thoughts

[@vikram_shahi]

Appreciating contents over things like these 👏🏼

[@zoc2]

"It's only a problem... if it's a problem." I said that to myself three years ago when I started reforming my life, and it has been fundamental to me. Seeing you describe its funamental-ness as well is insanely affirming to me and my mindset. Thank you Joe. I really do view you as my much older brother from another mother, because I swear I think about things exactly the same way you do. Anyway, I really appreciate all that you do, all the content that you create, because I eat it up like it's essential 8 media and I'm a bacterium.

[@IAI060]

I've been watching your stuff for a long time and I've loved your delve into some more philosophical stuff. One thing I just realised rewatching this video is that sometimes I'm listening to you and it's like I'm listening to Ren. I say this as a high compliment

[@Nightman9001]

Holy shit Joe, I truly wish I would have discovered this video of yours a decade ago in my early 20s. Thankfully I've come to realize and internalize this message over the years, but even now hearing you break it down so clearly helps me not only fully wrap my mind around what I've come to feel is true, but it'll also be invaluable in communicating that experience to others. Honestly bro, you're a real gem of a content creator and I hope it never stops being fulfilling / worthwhile for you to make because whether it's fitness or more general personal growth stuff like this video, you really do offer a ton of value to people in your insights, and I love your sense of humor. I'm sure you'll never see this comment since the video is pretty old by now, but if you do, I wish you and your loved ones all the best, and nothing but the best mate.

[@lesegomnisi8545]

Brilliant video. Overthinking really can be paralyzing

[@doofmaster4881]

I can’t express how much this video was vital for me .... thank you!!!!! Great video, great timing

[@carlserafin3257]

This video pops out and I'm over thinking since morning. Thank you

[@thewonkyone6868]

As a dude who finished uny and has been looking for "a" right way to do the kind of work i think is meaningfull, the pick a way and make it right sentence was pretty strong. Appreciate the open convo mate

[@kylereece1979]

THIS is the content Id like to see even more of. During the two minute mark you really outline a lot of key things that best describe so many times I can think of relating to me. From being on the dole many moons ago and over reacting and overthinking over issues that could have been totally absent altogether had I been out and about more. To stressing out and replaying in the mind certain shite situations a person in work put me through- as a result of not being able to confront the person or situation at the time itself. It muddles and accumulates in the mind later, when at home in the comfort zone again. So much time passes mulling on the different outcomes of the same thing, without actually doing anything about it, because of confidence depletions. And the downtime to myself during the lockdowns have really made me see that more. This was a fucking great video, mate. Tanks so much for the sound, articulate advice and thoughts.

[@callumsmith2768]

Last part of answering no to any of the questions was amazing mate, really hit home. Graphics were outrageous too, 10/10 my man

[@John-vo5yo]

The best video I’ve ever watched. Sound Joey.

[@specialkaran]

Really great insight into the constant mental torture many of us put ourselves through daily. Some fantastic tips and reframing of the issue here. Loved it.

[@GymPerformance]

deepest KZbin video I've seen in a long time. well done!

[@samk4367]

Needed more than ever this year, keep the faith loves

[@DG-lk3so]

This sort of NO BS content is so underrated! Elite!

[@MorralesPT]

Your effort trying not to be philosophical and inspiring, is simplistically and powerfully impacting.

[@djmsup]

"Overthinking" is my bigggest enemy. So thank you very much for this video Mr. Delaney. Hope you have a nice day.

[@dancarr6613]

Great video mate. One of my biggest problems is overthinking, sometimes it does you good to be reminded of the fact so we can break the cycle.

[@user-zm9gc1kt8b]

Touched on many a truths with me ! Always thought i was different and a little f'ed up, hoing back reliving awkward embarrassing encounters with people ! Bloody Brilliant video mate

[@Devin-gf7od]

I love this style of video. It's actually refreshing to see your authenticness on full display. The bit about smoking crack had me laughing. And this is a topic not enough people talk about. Definitely helps us overthinkers feel less alone.

[@anthonybland9719]

Really cool to see somebody using their platform to spread the universal greater good-enlightenment. I struggle a lot with overthinking and you were spot on about "living in the multiverse, running through every possible outcome" as well as the issue and pressure surrounding chasing "the" right choice. Great video bro

[@TheRealisticNihilist]

This is the kind of Joe Delaney content I really love.

[@youllmakeit]

Loved seeing elder bro in the video thank you for the message for real thank you

[@0715yt]

Definitely one of my favorite channels at this point, it's been really cool watching your content take an additional direction recently.

[@ritudubey385]

[@johnsontan345]

These are your best kind of videos imo, and exactly what I need right now. Keep it going!

[@martinlilly]

Useful insight bro. You break the seemingly complicated into simple terms.

[@lux7835]

I genuinely appreciate witnessing your perspective build and posting it to the public. I don’t know how long you’ll be on KZbin, but I look forward to seeing you progress in the next ten years, or at least sharing your view on things. I’m a woman, but even your fitness videos inspire me to better my physical self. Additionally, you make me contemplate things mentally and spiritually. Thank you for being a reminder that all is well. Each of us have a journey and we will make it out okay, and fill in the details as we wish or are meant to or just do. Joe Delaney, you’re my hero! Okay, not really, but I so appreciate you for being you. Keep it up, bruv.

[@thefranciscoalejandro]

Your non-fitness related videos are sick as fuck. I tend to click instantly when I see you post something like this (philosophical) as opposed to something about fat loss, or macros or workouts as I don't really watch any channels for fitness anymore. Joey Delaney is my hero

[@Upsurging93]

This was inspiring to hear a speech like this about peoples general thought processes, there are way to many labels and tags associated with mental health that alot of people unnecessarily latch on to, when more speeches like this and encouraging understanding is deffinately the way foward. Thank you and great video! 👍

[@cannoncrazy225]

This came at a time where I’m doing a uni assignment- and i keep changing my plan and structure and research. Im trying to perfect something that a) i haven’t started and b) overthinking the outcome. Ur a legend mate. Video helped a tonne.

[@Vanoual]

The crazy thing about your videos is that they transport me to another universe and I completely forget where I am, it's crazy. There is a really special vibe and atmosphere in your videos and all of that makes them stand out. All in all, I don't know if it's possible to stop thinking altogether, but your videos help with this mission. Thanks to you

[@lewiscrow7076]

Joe. Coming from someone who has some difficult choices to make in life at the moment. This has made things a lot more clear for me. Thanks mate. Genuinely.

[@Geneparmesan]

Thanks Joe. I love how you break down these complicated topics. It has been so helpful especially in this challenging year.

[@juanchevere10]

What I get from you Joe from the moment I started to listen between the lines of your comments, tips and advise for fitness, is actually a very intelectual, analytical individual who is becoming better at articulating those thoughts. This video was very well made and a deeper level than just fitness. You chose fitness and the results are amazing , of course you look fantastic and it is motivating to follow your training and nutrition, however what differentiates you ,in my opinion , is the way you internalize,analize and communicate. Thanks for the cool video, it was good to see more of your being here and wishing you great things coming your way and all of your subscribers. Cheers man!

[@nelsonhoffman5922]

[@duartelima8366]

Honestly... Hell of a video !!! Much needed conversation !

[@iThePokemon]

I don’t think I can put into words how helpful this video just was for me, I wouldn’t call myself a shy or nervous person but there’s always been a level of over thinking in my head when it comes to my reaction to situations like conversation where I dwell too much on what the best response would be. This has only just now brought to mine for me how much it actually affects me and that I need to make a change if I’m going to love my life the best I can. Thank you man

[@chloestephens6623]

I love these videos, especially the one about worrying. This was great, just as relatable. Thank you 😊

[@AkinBelieve]

A lot of good things in here. I'll try not to overthink about them, and get straight to applying them. Wise beyond your years lad.

[@esmee6308]

One of the best life-advice I ever came across is to recognise what kind of decision you're making, cost/impact/duration and to act accordingly. 95% of the decision I make just don't matter by the end of the week, or an hour later. :'') Actually helps staying lean as well, I'll make the 'right' choice most of the time being well aware taste only last so long, so if I don't automatically make the right choice, I know I may as well go with it or I'll end up overthinking and probably eating both.

[@somegamer4071]

I got a massive case of overthinking, that too many mind quote really helped put it into perspective, I didn't live in the present, worried too much about what was and what will be instead of what is. I've been overthinking the whole case about online privacy, like it and fear of infection has caused me to waste so much time and will power worrying about something I either can't control, or something that has yet to happen, and likely will not happen. Worrying about stuff that won't matter when I'm on my death bed.

[@harsh00720]

JOE D you are my hero mate

[@tommy7263]

Have been massively in need of a video like this for a long time, thank you Joe, you're a fucking godsend
