Finnick waters diving deep once again we
are out here deep divers of planet earth
in the heart of nature baby ten daily
overthinking hacks let’s just whoa
breathing in that good ass prana baby I
get tons of messages about overthinking
how can I stop overthinking well don’t
worry
just be patient does that help you no no
no how come oh I get it because it’s
just words right and when you can add
okay let me share with you what’s helped
me along my journey ten daily
overthinking hacks now I’m a writer I
got books on Amazon okay and the first
secret of writing is to show me don’t
tell me show me what is happening to
these characters don’t just describe
them show me show me and it is the same
as overthinking you see I can tell you
think less think less and live more and
you’ll be just fine but that really
won’t help you to stop overthinking I’ve
got to show you right and that’s really
what helped me along my journey I had to
realize okay how can I stop overthinking
in a practical way every single day to
become my greatest version baby because
a quote is beautiful looks pretty but
it’s just a quote right show me the
first daily overthinking hack that’s
helped me along my journey is to buy
less stuff biggie said more money more
problems I say more stuff more
overthinking more stuff more
overthinking like the amount of stuff
I’ve given away to thrift shops and it
actually helps me because I think less
about that stuff okay and there was some
pretty cool stuff but I realize a lot of
us on the planet have way too much stuff
go into your wardrobe right now my gosh
all the clothes are falling on top of
you you see you got way too much stuff
and you are thinking about your
possessions do you own your possessions
or do your possessions own you
[Music]
slow motion in this side you see I had
two bikes rode bikes I love cycling
every single day then I’m like let me
just sell one on eBay cuz I don’t need
to think about the other one okay cuz
sometimes things happen to it I don’t
want to have to deal with that stress I
don’t want to have to deal with it right
so I sowed it and I’m starting to think
a lot less cuz I only got one bike now
imagine if I had no bikes okay
I would think even less now I’m not
gonna get rid of the other bike cuz it’s
a pretty good track bike but I’m
realizing I don’t need so much stuff
like when I’m traveling I’m traveling
light I’m realizing that the more stuff
I get rid of it clears my mental space
too like there’s a weird correlation
between the stuff you have and how much
you’re thinking about the stuff you have
get rid of stuff so you don’t have to
think about all the stuff you have catch
my drift
good now you’re not buying anything okay
buy some things
goodness sakes what’s the second daily
overthinking Act baby baby that’s helped
me along my journey plan what you want
to do in advance now not way too much in
advance we’ll come to that later but
what I love to do is plan what I’m gonna
do tomorrow today
so when today comes but when tomorrow
comes I don’t have to think about it
like I don’t have to like spend hours
and hours thinking about what should I
make a video on coz already like I
already got in my mind like a thousand
video ideas I’m a Pisces
plus I’m left-handed which means I use a
lot of my right brain hemisphere so I’m
super creative which means like I don’t
even have to really plan but I’m gonna
plan like in advance right so I’m
planning what I want to do tomorrow
today so when tomorrow comes I don’t
have to think about it cuz like when I
first started to make videos and stuff I
would leave it till the last minute and
think oh my gosh I’m spending like and
now we’re just thinking about what to
talk about right that’s not fun so what
I do is in every in every area of my
life I’m planning in advance okay but
not
way to not way too far in advance cuz
you don’t control the future
right that’s why another reason why a
lot of people are over thinking like who
who do you think you are the thing that
you can actually control what’s gonna
happen in five years what they’re what’s
come over you
right so I plan a little bit in advance
but not too far in advance so when
tomorrow comes I don’t have a panic
attack right what’s the third daily
practical overthinking hack that’s
helped me along my journey become really
good at something okay
now it’s what I call playing the guitar
for the first time I’ve been playing the
classical guitar for about ten years a
bit more am I good I’m pretty good I’m
not the best though because I don’t
practice as much as I should however I’m
not that bad okay but I’ve realized this
the best guitarists especially classical
guitarists in the world make playing the
guitar look super easy when playing the
classical guitar is not as easy as it
appears it takes a lot of practice okay
so I realize this because a lot of
people had friends saying Ralph I want
to play your guitar your classical
guitar and I’m like go for it and I
would watch them and then I would have a
flashback of when I was first starting
to learn how to play the guitar and I
used to overthink I would be like okay
well my fingers right now it would take
a lot of mental energy
how is my posture am i sitting right am
i listening to my guitar teacher no I’m
not who cares don’t worry about it pat
down the road is saying don’t worry
about it okay so I’m like okay I get it
you see I learn muscle memory that’s why
I started to play the classical guitar
at a very high level throughout the
years because I learn that our body is
like a supercomputer right our brain is
like a supercomputer and the more you do
something and when you practice every
single day you become better at that
thing so you don’t have to think so much
so like my guitar Chi lie
my like my gataki teacher said right
like my guitar teacher said this strings
will play themselves whoa what yeah like
my guitar teacher said the strings will
play themselves Ralph you don’t even
have to play them right and that’s how
you know you are progressing okay and
that’s why I started to think a lot less
when I was playing the guitar because I
had tapped into muscle memory slow
motion this side
[Music]
the body knows what it is doing remind
yourself that the body is the
subconscious mind once you practice and
practice it becomes ingrained in your
muscles so you don’t have to think so
much but if you’re just starting out oh
you are gonna be overthinking so my
advice to you deep divers of planet
Earth
get really good at something and
practice practice practice every single
day and then you will stop overthinking
now what is the fourth daily
overthinking hack baby baby that’s
helped me along my journey I am the
drunken boxer right now lost of the art
of drunken drunken boxing right master
the art of drunken boxing now there was
a film I watched Jackie Chan film the
drunken master right and this guy was
just beating everyone up right in a very
artistic way because it’s a kung fu film
right and he was drunk old guy ok and I
was fascinated I’m like how can this guy
be drunk but be kicking everyone’s us
and he’s not even thinking about it
right and Jackie Chan in the film had to
learn the art of drunken kung fu right
so I apply that to my life and say okay
I got to move more into my body to stop
thinking so much and being a chronic
ruminator I’ve got to lose my mind and
come to my senses in essence I have to
develop total body awareness I’ve got to
move into my body every single day and
do like this like I’m drunk but I’m not
really but I’m just moving into the
groove right it’s like you’re doing a
little Samba like you’re just dancing
ever seen someone dancing in a carnival
who’s just losing their mind like don’t
even they don’t even care what anybody
thinks of them they’re not overthinking
because they are in their body
100% it’s time for you to start having
an inner body experience not just now
the body experience
what’s the fifth daily overthinking hat
baby baby become your greatest version
that’s helped me along my journey we are
out here seven day vegan challenge know
what you are eating so you don’t have to
go home and think about what you have
just ate like what did I just eat now I
see a lot of people eating healthier
eating the plant-based diet and even
though I’ve been a vegan for over
thirteen years when I go out I go out
and eat a lot right sometimes I eat
restaurants I eat with friends and I’m
like what’s in there and the restaurant
they’re not telling me what’s in it I’m
like what’s in it they’re not telling me
I said what’s in it they’re not telling
me I said okay right I’m not coming back
look I realized this that know your food
I only eat food if it has a few
ingredients like I’m not eating any food
that has like a hundred different
ingredients right and I don’t even know
how to pronounce the names like that’s
not happening so I’m eating a
plant-based diet get your fruit get your
veg get your leafy greens full of the
beautiful magnesium all the vitamins and
minerals you need right you know what’s
in it but if you are eating out all the
time sometimes you’re eating junk food
you are gonna go home feeling really bad
right okay I used to really love like
fries and stuff okay like french fries
and I’m like okay wait a minute they
when you heat foods at it when you heat
foods when you heat foods at excessive
temperatures they produce acrylamide and
acrylamide actually causes cancer so you
saw the documentary what the health
saying how processed meats also cause
cancer because it’s that excessive heat
but also we have to realize we are now
living in a time where you can eat
healthy like Amazon just bought Whole
Foods right hello like all the prices
are gonna be
/ it’s no more like whole paycheck
anymore jeff bezos right okay so realize
that prices are coming down Whole Foods
you can go in there go to the farmers
market right
buy your fruits buy your veg and eat
healthier and now you know what’s in it
so you don’t have to think so much you
don’t have to think so much what is the
sixth hack daily overthinking hack was
helped me along my journey is to spend
80% on actions and 20% on thinking now
along my early journey I did the reverse
I spent 20% on actions and 80% upstairs
thinking oh what’s gonna happen should I
do it like this and it was terrible
you see if you really are serious to
stop overthinking to actually get stuff
done you got to spend 80% on action and
20% on thinking don’t give like thinking
80% of your time ain’t nobody got time
for that
right so you really have to dive into
whatever you are doing now I’ve realized
this the reason why a lot of us are
overthinking is because we are
perfectionist we are trying to make
everything perfect the Egyptian proverb
a beautiful thing a beautiful thing is
never perfect perfectionism is a lie
nothing is perfect like there are taught
that there are there are toilet seats
which are being sold for millions right
now antique pieces okay this is art
apparently okay look anything can be art
because beauty is in the eye of the
beholder
okay I’ve realized this I gotta spend
right now 80% of my time on action it
doesn’t have to be perfect look nobody
is getting out of planet Earth alive
[Music]
slow motion inside it’s really not that
serious bye oh I’m back
look 80 percent let me let me let me let
me let me start how I was before right
I’m back gosh look eighty percent on
actions twenty percent on thinking I
shouldn’t have even done that because
I’m thinking too much right get down
come up look look you really have to
know this think less and act more every
single activity you are doing every
single day eighty percent act and twenty
percent think about it and if you make a
mistake who cares you can you can live
with it you can live with it don’t worry
about it at least you did it
what is the seventh daily overthinking
hat has helped me along my journey baby
baby Parkinson’s Law okay a practical
way to practice Parkinson’s Law let’s
just say and this happens to me Ralph
especially when the beach is just over
there what am I saying I’m like Ralph
you can make a video before ten o’clock
and go to the beach can I really do that
yes you can Ralph but you see when I
first started making videos I would take
like the whole day to make a video and
then by the time I finish I wouldn’t be
able to go to the beach not fun then I
learnt Parkinson’s Law thank goodness
look what happened to me Parkinson’s Law
states this work expands so as to fill
slow motion this side if you say I got
this Ralph I got this I can do this
whatever you’re doing I don’t know what
you’re doing by the way but if you can
say I can do this in five minutes that’s
all it’s going to take me then that will
happen if you say you need five years
then it’s gonna take five years just to
tie your shoelaces or eat breakfast okay
I don’t know however long you say is
however long it’s gonna take right learn
the power of Parkinson’s law to stop
overthinking you see there are a lot of
people who are procrastinating because
they’re giving themselves way too much
time sometimes I just wake out I just I
just wake up and and dive straight into
the deep end right dive straight into
the deep end and say what did I just do
nobody knows I just dive straight into
it I just did it because I realize if I
say I can do this right now
coz there is only now then it’s gonna
happen right now for me if I say I’m
gonna need another 20 years well I’m
gonna need another 20 years but I
probably won’t look the same probably
might look a bit younger right okay
Parkinson’s law work expands so as to
fill the time of his completion learn
that today apply it to every single area
of your life and you I guarantee you you
will stop overthinking you see now when
I said thinking in advance right why you
don’t want to think too far in advance
because what happens when you are
thinking way too far in advance you are
practicing Parkinson’s law because
you’re giving yourself too much time to
do something so don’t think way too far
in advance just a little bit a little
bit a little bit what is the eighth hack
daily overthinking hack deep divers how
you doing today how rude of me not to
ask you how are you doing today
never mind look
learn this every single day a practical
way to stop overthinking don’t believe
you’re narrating self now you see we’ve
got our narrating self and we’ve got our
experiencing self so let’s just say
someone stepped on your toe
ouch that’s your experiencing self you
are now feeling someone stepping on your
toe it was a cat down the road by the
way okay you experienced that but then
you’re narrating self tells an elaborate
story of what happened you’re like well
what actually happened to me it felt
like a whole lift was coming down on my
toe it was like an earthquake
it felt so Wow
then you just you’re experiencing self
is like wait a minute it was just a cat
down the road that stepped on your toe
right okay it wasn’t that bad but you
made this elaborate story right that’s
you’re narrating self it blow stuff out
of proportion it gives rise to
overthinking you see much of our lives
much of our lives and nothing but
stories we formulate in our minds right
I’m not even Ralph smart that’s just a
story like someone named me that right
I didn’t choose that name don’t worry
about it right so much of your life is a
story you create now it couldn’t be a
really beautiful story
oh it can be a story which isn’t serving
you we really have to make this
narrating self at least if we’re gonna
use it a lot make sure it’s a story a
story that actually serves you but not a
story that makes you overthink sometimes
ladies fellas you might say oh I don’t
like my body okay now let’s just say you
went to the gym you’re looking in shape
that’s your experiences that’s your
experiencing self okay but you actually
feeling good while you’re doing it while
you’re working out and getting your body
in shape okay that’s cool but then you
go home you look in the mirror no you
don’t you look at other people’s
profiles on social media
and now you don’t like your body cuz
you’re narrating self you’re narrating
self tells you you are not good enough
so guess what you start overthinking
so the solution chuck away your phone
and that will help you stop overthinking
cuz then you’ll stop comparing your body
to theirs it’s all an illusion
they just Photoshop themselves don’t
worry about it look the narrating self
the the self that creates all of these
stories okay it has its place but don’t
believe everything your mind tells you
and that’s how to stop overthinking so
much okay now what is the ninth hack to
stop over thinking the daily
overthinking hack now what’s helped me
along my journey is it’s really really
simple you see if I’m overthinking every
single day for like ten minutes it’s
more than that what am I talking about
it’s like an hour no it’s not it’s like
two hours I gotta realize this I have to
occupy the present every single day
spend a few minutes occupying the
present you see we overthink when we are
either caught in the trap of the past or
the future you’re planning too far in
advance again I told you look look
occupy the present every single day for
five minutes I love coming out into
nature a lot of the times I’m just like
this when I’m not making videos okay
that felt pretty good
just right there but I’m tuning into all
of my senses what am i hearing what am i
feeling what am i touching what am i
smelling right what am i seeing right
I’m fully absorbed into the present
moment 100% you see a lot of us we start
overthinking because we are crying over
built milk almond milk at that so what I
love to do is give myself three minutes
just three minutes to cry over over what
over spilt almond milk so allow yourself
to overthink for three minutes every
single day overspill oh one milk right
it’s all on the table right now and then
see how you feel now chances are you’re
gonna feel really annoyed pissed off
aggravated because the older milk is
still on the table and nobody’s wiping
it up what are we gonna do about it
nobody knows because it’s still there so
overthinking obviously is not gonna be
the solution to all your problems right
so that’s actually that mindset has
actually helped me to stop over think
that that mindset has actually helped me
to stop overthinking cuz I’m like if the
almond milk is spilt on the table I can
stare at it oh you almond milk but it’s
not gonna change that it’s still on the
table I’ve got to do something about it
can I get a Hello just saying that
actually takes the almond milk off the
table look just stop overthinking
realize that yes allow yourself to
overthink but then start moving into
radical action to start getting stuff
done productive stuff done okay
and what is the tenth hack baby baby
daily overthinking hack now what’s
helped me along my journey is to realize
this you see your environment will
become you so every single day you find
me in nature I’m in the Hills I’m in the
mountains I’m going trekking I’m on the
beach I’m even going snowboarding look
why because I realize your environment
will become you now there was a time
when I would just stay in my room and I
still do thousand hours but then I’m
like okay I get it
certain rooms in my house will make me
overthink a lot more if I attach certain
memories to those rooms
[Music]
slow motion this side now a lot of those
memories may not be favourable some of
them might be but if I’m in nature what
I do know is that all the memories here
are truly favorable like I’ve had my
best moments in nature so I realize by
placing myself in this beautiful lush
tropical environment I’m gonna feel
better about myself but also I’m not
gonna overthink so much you see are
overthinking a lot of the time comes
from where we are because we get
triggered back into a memory which pulls
us into the past based on our
environment a lot of people write to me
saying Ralph I’m in my overthinking room
again I’m like you better get out of
there
run run run once again remind yourself
that to stop overthinking you have to
realize that it’s all about action 80%
action 20% thinking and then you’ll just
say Phil so get to be a live baby can I
and then you have it deep divers of
planet Earth we are out here in the
heart of nature in Jurassic Park just
whoa breathing in that good ass prana
baby feel so good to be alive baby have
