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 🙏🏽

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 ☺️☺️
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.
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 🙂
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 wife!!!!! 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! ❤️
Crazy part about your new video structure is that you’re subliminally making us use the “memory palace technique” to remember the different points as you sit at various places around the office. genius, man. Haven’t seen that done before. 👏
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 🥹🥹
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!
I always wanted to start a RUclips 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 feel very inspired by you, I have been struggling with things inside for a long time, this year I separated from the person I loved the most in my life and I am trying to change
Hi just want to say that many times ruminating is emotionally driven… there can be an uncomfortable feeling and our mind jumps in to try to either make us feel better or dwell on that feeling and feed more into it. So shifting from our mind and into our body sensations can actually be really helpful and grounding and even illuminating. When we ignore our feelings our body often starts shouting at us to get our attention, so just listening to what our body is saying, acknowledging the feelings and fears, can be very clarifying and soothing.
Hello Ali! I've missed your chill videos that start like this... You walking in, with a mug, seeing the plants and such. Thank you Ali for this... This truly feels like hanging out with a pal in the living room chatting it up about personal experiences a.k.a. Overthinking
"whenever I'm scared of doing something it's probably the right thing".....that words make me think maybe everything that me scare to start doing is right thing
Usually I watch subscribed channels whenever I am free. But now I have made it a habit to watch yours daily. Sharing with friends and family as well. Thanks. You are awesome bro
The coincidence is unreal. Was listening to your "Not Overthinking" podcast, and had some "how not to overthink" vids recommended to me. Decided to give one a watch, went down a rabbit hole and here we are haha. Full circle
I was consultant plastic surgeon in Pakistan and currently working as CF in NHS. When I was your age I used to teach and guide my younger co-workers, now I see your video for guidance for me.
I'm making some changes recently and taking some (what I perceive to be) risks. I've never been happy about overthinking and paralyzing myself out of doing something, it's always made me feel worse. There hasn't been one situation I can think of where I've backed out of something because of fear or overthinking and been like "Man, I'm so much better off!". This was an incredibly helpful video. Thinking in terms of experiments and positive EV kind of blows my mind a bit. I've also recently heard from others how fear of something generally means that's the thing you want to be paying attention to, not running from. Awesome video, thank you.
started to build my channel and indeed i notice my own overthinking on not only subjects but what to include and not to include in a video. did just release video that did better then expected. happy with that.
I am a wellness coach and have all of my clients work in weekly experiments instead of goals. It helps a lot in terms of letting go of feelings of shame or "failure." You can't fail an experiment!
Ali my take on overthinking is whatever is going on or is going to happen is just for a short period of time and it ease my stress and helps me stop overthinking
1. Treat new experiences like an experiment 2. What is the worst that can happen if x doesn’t work out vs the best that can happen if it does 3. Over thinking is okay as long as it’s on top of consistent action (back 2 basics)
I see that Ali is trying to move around in the video which makes it more interesting! Ali had tweeted a typeform for suggestions and I had suggested that moving around and changing the background will make the audience wanting to watch the video... Happy to see a change!
I think overthinking is such a big problem and a lot of people often don't know they're doing it or have an issue. I find that meditation helps, also writing things down, but also just having awareness and asking yourself 'why do I keep going back to this? And what do I need to do to stop this thought cycling through my head?'
Fantastic advice! I just applied it 2 mins after I listened to the video. I was so apprehensive about a job role that I might be considered for. It was completely out of my comfort zone and experience. But then I thought it could be a great Experiment! Suddenly my anxiety got replaced by curiosity!
Thinking of decision making as a sort of EV really helps to put things into the perspective of possibilities of positives rather than the negatives. That actually helped me a lot today.
Three things: 1) I really needed this 2) Production quality is top notch, keeps getting better wow 3) Future wife?! Sheesh I’ve been with this channel a long time
Your tips are always motivating and inspiring but the sad part is that I know that I can watch all these videos but I will still overthink & procrastinate😭😭💯
Thnkz brother that's really helpful to me. Bcz last few days I'm over thinking a lot about my higher studies this give me a relief 😌 thank a lot for that ❤️
I love this so much ❤️ ive always overthinked about contributing in class and tis has made my grades be average but now im not afraid, im smart anyways
Ali, you always make the perfect videos when I need them most. I've been dealing with bad anxiety after closing new deals that put me in the best monthly financials I've ever had. However, I do client-related work so everything can go away instantly if I'm not performing well enough. It's really frustrating, like I feel incapable of relaxing and needing to work 24/7 to help me feel comfortable I'll wake up with a good monthly income still.
Most of us hinder from expressing our creativity and getting head-on to many things due to overthinking. Managing overthinking benefits us in many ways. Ali this topic is timely. Undoubtedly this will resonate with many of us in the audience
Emma Gannon's book on Sabotage also explores perfectionism. Through the help of your videos and her book I've finally leaned into the process and started my RUclips channel!
I believe the MBA technique @11:00 was originally sourced through Napoleon Hill's 1937 book THINK AND GROW RICH. That book was required reading for me back in college, a great read that belongs in every library of all avid readers like yourself, Ali. Sister to that book is Napoleon's other great read THE LAW OF SUCCESS. Orne Publishing, LLC produced in 2010 a beautiful hardback of that book in its original 1925 edition. The newer books of today are really rehashed versions from books of old. Principles never die, but seem to age well with time like wine.
I loved the background music and feel to this video, it was very calming and great to help keep me in the present moment. It was also great advice but I already knew it would be :) thank you!
Hey Adil, your channel is an absolute ocean of positive knowledge without any marketing and pure bliss. Keep up the great work and content. I love seeing your videos.
Love the way you formatted this video where you are just causally walking around as for me it sort of helps me stay in tune with the video. The idea of expected value is something I'm going to definitely try to implement because looking back I think if I had use this idea in the past then I would have done a lot more things that I currently have. Thank you !
I really needed this video badly! Currently undergoing psychological therapy & this video will be a great help to get over my stress & anxiety. Thanks, Ali. ❤️
Hey one thing I really want to tell you is that yesterday I was thinking that I should ask to Ali about techniques which will help me to reduce my overthinking pattern but when I see this video today I became happy that I got my solution by you Thankyou so much for discussing about this topic .😊
This new format of constantly getting up and sitting in a new place every 30 sets is really stressing me out and not letting me focus on the content of the video. I'm too busy thinking about why anyone would do this, so many unanswered questions.... Is this just me?
I hope you can add the subtitle for all videos. Because so many people who may be interested in the information you provided have been not good at listening English. Thanks so much!
At first, MBA sounded weird to me. But a few minutes in I suddenly realized that the reason to why my YT channel exists and started growing in quality and quantity was because a year ago I remembered that my favorite musician started his career simply because he knew he could do better. So yeah, that makes sense.

2.Think in terms of expected value
