Always remind myself: "This is a thought, it's just a thought. I don't have to believe it. I don't have to act on it, I don't have to fight it. I can let it pass through."

I took a deep breath and started to tear up because the fact I had to look up videos to help me with my overthinking and industrial thoughts is crazy to me. I got emotional because I’ve always been a happy person and now I’ve just been stuck in my head and second guess everything I do , just because I keep replaying something someone said to me. I pray to god I get over this and can be myself again.

It kinda annoys me that we aren't taught anything like this in school. I have really bad anxiety and intrusive thoughts and haven't being taught anything about it which overall made it much more scary and more intense. Thank you for this video.

The thoughts always take over and I think myself out of happiness multiple times throughout the day. The thoughts will be bad things and it makes me scared and it can lead to an anxiety attack. Especially at night. I’m glad others feel the same way and I don’t feel as alone as I did.

The fact that 4 million ppl (as of 2/6/23) came to watch this shows that we’re not alone in wanting to better ourselves.

When I was little I had trouble falling asleep because of anxious thoughts. My Mom taught me to picture my thoughts as little strings and would have me physically grab a handful of my string thoughts and place them on the nightstand by my bed. She told me they would be there for me tomorrow if I still wanted them, but since I set them aside I could just focus on sleep. I was only 8 or 9 then, but that was so helpful that I still do it now that I’m in my forties.

A tip: when I get anxious or have intrusive thoughts I think "Here comes the intrusive, irrational thoughts" That makes my brain snap back to reality, even if the thought is still there, I will be less anxious. So not 100% but it helps with calming myself down.

"You can have thoughts without buying them." Is such a powerful line.
@benjamindover4337
I find it helpful to say in my head "oh, I feel anxious, this is what it feels like to be anxious". It kind of stops the emotional experience from taking over the mind.
@iuprising1551
I wish schools starting from elementary would have a psychology subject so the kids can understand their emotions a little bit and that they’re not suffering alone <3

"You don't have to believe everything you think." I LOVE that!
@muthuselvan6884
Something that helped keep intrusive thoughts away was having some blocking thoughts in mind like some phrase like "stop thinking of some garbage", "this is not my concern" etc. It prevents engaging the negative thoughts , bad memories, prevents replying to it , analyzing it. The goal of a blocking thought should be to not give any value to a negative thought and discard it. Although these blocking thoughts only work if your brain is healthy, if you're depressed and have low serotonin or an overactive amygdala, the negative thoughts are gonna be more frequent and stronger. so fix your brain chemicals first with some omega 3 fish oil, 5htp, sunlight , exercise , going outside everyday, meditation, green tea etc. After your brain is normal again, using some blocking thoughts to block out negative thoughts worked great

This is my biggest enemy, my mind and my thoughts. This thoughts make me worried and feel fear. Feels like I am not my old self anymore. I just cried about it. Thank you for this video. I hope I can get over to this problem of mine.

“We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.”some of us we see failing as failure. Have a delightful day sharing some positivity to your side
@Butter_smth
I always tell myself in my mind "Thank you for your opinon, but no thanks."
@fbcah123
Overthinking.. I can’t swallow, it has caused panic attacks and anxiety, I can’t barely eat, it’s ruining my life I am miserable. Praying this helps me ❤
@byamberkri
Intrusive thoughts are literally ruining my life right now. I can't tell you how much I appreciate this video and I will be watching the full playlist now. Thank you so much for all you're doing 🙏🏻❤
@szebike
The best advice I ever read is *"no amount of guilt can erase the past" and "no amount of anxiety will change the future" *. Most things that are intrusive are either anxiety or guilt. The fact you have those feelings means you know about those past issues ( and don't repeat them ) and upcoming problems ( if you fear loosing someone you know the person is important to you). No matter how often you repeat those thoughts it won't change anything all you can do is act (leave past behind) but in a thoughtfull way (focus your future projections on current situations rather than on speculative fears)
@spiritinthematerialworld
"You don't have to believe everything you think." Such a "simple" phrase and yet I'd never heard it and how powerful it is!! Thank you for this video. I'm glad YouTube suggested it ;)
