How To Stop Overthinking EVERYTHING | Mel Robbins

What nonsense, life is not that simple !

"You think too much”. is often a term or strategy used by those who realize you have searched all avenues of a particular issue or problem and you have identified the errors in their claim, and or they realize you have uncovered their hidden agendas, or errors in their flawed perspective of something. It’s often used as some attempt to gaslight someone or derail them to try and sell the idea you are thinking outside the area/ arena or topic of debate, or discussion.
Of course who determines when “you think too much” about a particular issue you may have ? Maybe the individual who is selling you their possible skewed one sided perspective of an issue or debate! ( don’t think so deep as to uncover their limited knowledge or point they are try to impress on you), it just may highlight their adequacies on the subject or the problem! For me, the very term in 90% of cases is a misnomer. So all the great Philosophers of history must to “most people at least” been thinking too much. So Philosophy is dead, right ?

Thank you so much for sharing! It' an axectly the thing I need to hear today 🙏❤

you are fantastic ...motivation plus

It seems easy just count 54321 rule loudly and take actions.

Hey, stop overthinking! 🤔 It's like making problems that don't even exist. Just chill and don't stress about things that aren't real. Take a deep breath and focus on what's happening right now. You've got this! 💪

I have a huge problem with overthinking to the point where I just analyze like the silliest of things. I need to take action. It’s just difficult.

Bhut acha Batya thankyou, over thinking, stress, depression eske lye planet ayurveda ka Brahmi powder bhut effective hai and eska koi side effect bhi nhi hai.

We absolutely need to engage in critical thinking when making big decisions. I realize that this may be geared toward people who are super lazy and over analytical, but just to jump at every opportunity that comes along can be reckless and land you in a bad place. Thinking has its place.

Rejection over regret

what when its grief and your loved one was misdiagnosed in a stupid way?

thank you so much i love you

Sometimes it’s information overload (especially since the Internet and social media became so dominant in our lives) that causes people to freeze rather than act. Hard to sort through all the advice and options to know what’s actually best to do.

Thank you, Mel! 🌸

I've changed my life as well too Mel thank you. Love you. 🖐😂👍

The comment of learning but not doing something about it is definitely me!! I hate being uncomfortable and my fear of actually doing it holds me back

Thanks

This is probably the 5-6th video I am watching with Robin. I like her simplicity, the depth of her messages and her non sophisticated , no high maintenance image. Pretty authentic IMO unlike other speakers on here.

Im one of those who sits and watches You Tube videos and reads the books but never takes any action. My mind just goes round and round and wont stop!

Is this like "Baby Steps" with Dr. Leo Marvin?

Thank you so much for changing my life ❤❤

Love your videos and have read virtually all your books! I agree with you, it’s better to look at it as an opportunity for growth and true understanding of our selves and how better our lives can be with a little bit of inner work! Stay happy and peaceful! 🙏🙏🤗

Mel, thanks for your work. I appreciate the tools and the knowledge.

You are such an inspiration, Mel.

Love Mel Robbins. Five Second Rule is the best.

Knowledge is only potential power. Applied knowledge is true power :)

You are a genius :)

This is exactly I feel often …. 😞☹️ the “ action part “ has not happened …. Not getting any younger

Be aware of the thinking. Buddhism has essentially been teaching this for thousands of years.

Can I suggest something... The term Overthinking is what shuts down deep thinkers. I want to pin a term if I may... Deep thinking discipline, instead of the insulting term overthinking. If an idea starts of with an insult you're pushing against someone immediately. It's the same with too sensitive. How many people get told they don't feel enough? Lol

I think Mel's like in our minds reading us

So true...if it's too complicated I won't try it. Even with the knowledge to be happier etc. ❤️ to all.

thank you so so much for your wisdom, Mel. you always make life's biggest challenges seem manageable. right after watching this video, I went to high 5 myself in the mirror and tell myself that I will love myself no matter what. I am allowed to make mistakes, and I will always be here to love and forgive. i'm literally crying rn writing this. Thank you doesn't begin to cover the depth of gratitude I have for you and what you offer to the world.

Iam one of those smart ppl she mentioned about 😂😂😂 gathering info reading self help books and videos. Now's the time to getup my ass and take some action 😀👍💯tq for the video 🙏

If you are stuck. I really advise you to watch Bob Proctor's material. Read his books. Watch his trainings. He teaches Paradigms. It's your Paradigm which is keeping you stuck. Changing that is a life long process.

Thanks for sharing your story and tips. Life gets overwhelming for me. I’m a sahm/homeschooling mama to seven.

I overthink WAY TOO MUCH🥺🥺🙏🏻🙏🏻

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😇😇😇😇😇😇

Amen thank you Mel Robbins God bless you 🙏
