5 Tips to Stop Over-thinking to Prevent Anxiety and Panic Attacks


peace infinite waters diving deep once
again do you smell that good ass prana
are you over thinking too much can I get
a hello there five tips to stop
overthinking to prevent panic anxiety
depression and let me share with you
what’s helped me along my journey
because I get tons of questions about
overthinking from people who overthink a
lot now the first tip okay this is what
a lot of people forget we overthink
because we remind ourselves of who we
think we are the secret to stop
overthinking is to let go of who you
think you are
answer it lose your identity who are you
you tell me I’m a lawyer okay
I’m an architect okay I make comedy okay
that’s not who you are that’s what you
do who are you
you tell me I’m English
okay I’m German okay I’m French
okay I’m Nigerian okay
that’s who society tells you who you are
it’s not who you are who are you okay
you got me you got me can I get a hello
there
that was me along my journey I had to
strip away all of these layers these
subconscious programs which keep us in
our own mental prison you see who we
think we are is what we do so we have
equated our social function with our
authentic identity you’re a psychologist
Ralph no I’m not underneath all of it I
am built up of atoms that’s right
pure energy I am atoms having a human
experience and it feels fantastic can I
get a hello there but many of us we are
ruminating which causes the anxiety the
panic because we have to keep up
appearances we have to maintain this
illusion of who we think the world wants
us to be so the first step to stop
overthinking is to begin to question
your identity am I really only this skin
color am I really only my breasts my
hair that song I am NOT my hair right
that’s why I cut it off I’m growing it
back but you can’t get stuck on these
labels your nationality your race your
religion you are so much more than that
and that’s what freed me along my
journey the second tip is realizing in a
nutshell many of us try to escape
thoughts okay so in my early journey I
would tell you go and exercise if you
want to stop overthinking go to the gym
that’s right go and run big mistake why
because it doesn’t solve the problem you
see you can’t use the distraction to
stop overthinking you have to meet your
problem head
on and then laugh at yourself baby just
like that bird up there okay so what
happens when you say oh I’ve got a lot
of problems so I’m just gonna run and
not think about them you bottle them up
inside and then they come out at the
most unexpected moment you’re just
having dinner and you start shouting all
meditation itself is the art of non
judgment so it’s not about trying to
escape your thoughts it’s about learning
how to stop judging them to stop
overthinking that’s the big secret a lot
of us we’re so judgmental towards
ourselves
we’re so judgmental towards ourselves
try this okay the moment you stop
judging yourself so much you are going
to stop judging other people so much it
works it really does work you can’t run
away from your thoughts you have to not
judge your thoughts as good bad I
shouldn’t think this I should think that
all of those are programs which must be
deleted
now the third tip is what I call
surround yourself with people who accept
you because if you don’t well you’re
going to be thinking do they accept me
do they accept me why don’t they accept
me I’m a brilliant person I think so as
well but you see a lot of us we’re
trying to fit in we’ve got the
Cinderella effect the sisters right
trying to squeeze their foot in the shoe
it’s not happening so why are you with a
group of people you don’t even get along
with
well because you’ve got some serious
lessons to learn that’s what I learned
along my journey I would just be around
groups of people I had no business being
around but I didn’t want to be alone so
you got to learn how to love your own
company and then learn how to be around
people that accept you and learn to
appreciate yourself appreciate yourself
that little bit more okay a lot of times
it’s hard to appreciate ourselves it’s
hard to really accept ourselves why
because once again we confuse what we do
with who we are and most of us don’t
like what we do so you’re getting you’ve
got to release that massive program now
the fourth tip is hey you’re a
perfectionist I’m a perfectionist
why letting go of perfection is where
perfection begins that is one of the
biggest lessons I learned in becoming my
greatest version now the reason why a
lot of chronic / thinkers are trying to
be perfectionists is because we’re
worrying about past events and future
events all anxiety emanates from the
desire to escape the present moment can
I get a hello there and that’s what
happens when you are overthinking you’re
trying to be a perfectionist you’re
trying to get everything perfect
look we don’t live in a perfect world
okay things are going to happen things
are going to fall down all you have to
do is pick them up and don’t worry about
it but when you try and get everything
right one little slip-up you can’t
forgive yourself you’ve made a big
mistake and now you say to yourself
you’re going to pay the price so can you
see how we treat ourselves when we start
overthinking now I have what I call
freeze moments you see a lot of us we
are overthinking and this happens when
we are in a freeze moment what is a
freeze moment while you walk into a room
and you just suddenly stop what am i
doing in this room I don’t know either
okay but you’re overthinking maybe you
left something on the fire
maybe you got examination stress maybe
work stress maybe relationship drama I
don’t know but you just there you’re
stuck you’re literally frozen in time
now what you’ve got to remind yourself
you’ve got to identify those triggers
what is causing you to freeze up it goes
back to fear so you’ve got to start
looking at what you fear
realizing that facing your greatest fear
will be your greatest liberation oh
that’s easy route that’s really easy
Ralph our body is the subconscious mind
fear doesn’t exist in our minds it
exists in every single cell within our
body you better get moving and shaking
you better get cooking and baking twist
and turning do some crazy dances okay to
surround yourself in nature realize the
fifth tip nothing is ever as serious as
you think it is learn to put things in
perspective now here’s where it gets
really exciting but but wait Ralph my
problems are so big that’s what I
thought you are here no no you are here
no no you are here
you are tiny right you go to the ocean
you go to the ocean tons of water and
then you say to yourself wait a minute
my problems aren’t that big that’s why
you got to drive to the ocean go to the
beach at least once a week if you don’t
live near a beach well get a bird’s-eye
view go and run to the the biggest hill
there is and then look down we are like
ants in this massive universe it doesn’t
mean that we are insignificant it just
means that we are part of this ecosystem
we are not the entire universe we are
made from the same fabric as the entire
universe
can I get a hello there so once you
learn to put things in perspective you
realize that overthinking creates a
feedback loop because whatever you focus
on gross people say ok I don’t want to
think these thoughts then they end up
thinking them right but not always see
what did I say I said you got to allow
yourself not to judge what you are
thinking of it’s not negative right you
are allowed to think whatever you want
I’m not gonna punish you and once you
can you release judgment you release
resistance to how you think you should
be thinking and now you just breathe in
that good ass prana and your problems
fade away well so they should have a
beautiful day we’re just out here
soaking it up soaking got that beautiful
prana baby can I get a hello there no
fear no shame no guilt have a beautiful
day we are out here just cruising
cruising and rolling infinite waters
diving deep once again stay well stay
healthy peace
