Future wife?! We're going to have a "how to have a productive bachelor party/wedding" series soon 😁🎉So true that social threats get us all wound up. Viewing things as an experiment takes off a lot of pressure because you're focusing more on the process than the end result. I like that mental board of advisors thinking. Great video, Ali 🙂

The best way to stop overthinking is understanding that no amount of overthinking will lead to positive results. In fact, all it will do is cause more stress and anxiety for yourself, more likely leading to the problem only getting worse.

Hope this quote makes sense, I didn't think too much before typing it

I’ve been an overthinker my whole life too so it’s really cool to see someone I look up to discuss this and explain how to move through it. I’ve been talking myself through these moments of paralysis but these tips seem much more helpful so thank you! I’ll give them a try 🙏🏽

Fear is a compass! I’ve never thought of this that way but I think it’s brilliant

[SpawnPoiint]

This is very valuable advice. It’s easy to overthink and completely lose track of your end goal. This can be detrimental to your future. Thanks Ali!

I received the notification just after finishing writing my daily morning pages where I made a promise to my self to stop over thinking and start the project I wanted to start a month ago.
And because of over thinking I kept procrastinating and telling myself I'm still not good enough and I need more time to work on the project, despite knowing that I only get better when I do a certain thing multiple times, but I was afraid of starting anyhow.
Thank you so much for this video, it gave me a huge push and made me realize that I won't gain anything by over thinking. Thanks again ☺️☺️

Awesome! Having been suffered from anxiety I know the root cause of it is overthinking to get to the exact outcome when in turn we actually don't have control over our results.

Future I’ve been celebrating all your milestones through the years and look up to you as an elder brother, and this makes me so happy from the core of my heart ahhhh a massive massive congratulations to you and her Ali! ❤️

Are you reading my mind? I was literally sat here thinking I need to work out how to stop overthinking when your video popped up. I need to watch intently now! Thank you!

This video came at a perfect moment where I've gone down a spiral of overthinking. This video and these comments have helped!

I overthink the things that dont matter and dont think enough about the things that do. Im stuck in a miserable loop socially

[mehditate]

I always wanted to start a YouTube channel and kept overthinking it to the point that I never started until 3 months ago. Now i am glad I’m in the space 🙏🏽

I can’t even imagine you being an overthinker because of how chilled you are (vs me being super neurotic and overthinking everything) so it’s good to hear you talk about this 😊 also future wife, that is so cute 🥹🥹
