011 - Stop Overthinking

Welcome to 1 Minute Tips! So you probably read this episode's topic and already started to think about it. Anticipating what I was going to talk about. By anticipating about this episode you now expect it to turn out in a certain way. If I don't deliver the kind of message or content you're expecting, you may get upset or let down. This is a simple but effective example of how overthinking can ruin things for us. The point is that overthinking can cause more harm than good. It's something all of us do, we play scenarios, we create imaginary problems and then try to come up with imaginary solutions, just in case these problems ever become real. Overthinking makes it really hard to unplug. I struggle with it whenever I try to quiet my mind and meditate. But I know this can be changed, and eventually it will. Stop thinking too much, sometimes the best thing we can do is to let it be and let go of our thoughts. That was my tip for today my friend. I'm Rod Gomes and I'll come back with another 1 minute tip soon. Take care, stay active, stay positive!
