If you're an over thinker, I'm a psychologist and I want to tell you something that people get wrong about over thinking. What if the problem isn't your over thinking, but the way you think about your over thinking? Now, I know it sounds strange, >> [music] >> but hear me out. You see, people treat over thinking as if it's the main problem, but it's not. You see, when you're over thinking, you're analyzing, replaying, rehearsing, usually all the worst case scenarios and it feels like you're getting somewhere.
Like, if you think it through just a bit longer, then [music] you'll feel better, but you rarely do. You see, if you follow it down, strip it back, all of that over thinking is attached to a feeling, a feeling that you can't bear to feel. That conversation you keep replaying, underneath, fear of being disliked. Or the hours of lying awake filled with self doubt, underneath, [music] the fear of not being enough. Over thinking is not preparing you, it's protecting you.
Because as long as you're up here analyzing, you never have to go down here [music] and feel it. Psychologist call it intellectualizing, turning a feeling that we can't face into a problem we can think about. [music] So, maybe the question isn't how do I stop all these thoughts? Maybe it's >> [music] >> if these thoughts went quiet, what would I have to feel? I'm a psychologist, follow for more.
