You're lying in bed, staring at the ceiling.

Your body is ready to sleep,

but your brain, your mind is running a marathon.

It's stuck replaying the conversation from three days ago,

dissecting every word, every pause.

Why did you say that?

Did I sound like an idiot?

Or maybe you're about to start something new,

something you are actually excited about,

but before you can even take the first step,

your brain thinks about a hundred different the worst case scenario.

You tell yourself you're just being thorough.

You're just planning, preparing, problem solving.

But what if that's a lie you're telling yourself?

What if all this thinking isn't getting you to a better solution,

but is actually keeping you from any solution at all?

There's a thief that has been quietly robbing you blind.

It doesn't take your wallet or your TV.

It steals something so much valuable.

It steals the joy that you could be feeling right now.

It seals your ability to just move forward,

to take a chance and to live the life that is waiting for you.

This thief is overthinking.

And today, we are not just going to talk about it.

We are going to learn how to catch it,

disarm it and take back your mental space for good.

Also, I want to say thank you to this person who asked today's question.

This video is actually started from that question.

So let me read the comment first.

The comment from our friend was,

I have something I want to ask.

How do you manage not to overthink too much about what's happening around you?

Sometimes I make small mistakes in the way I communicate and I also tend to overthink everything around me.

If you were in my position,

what do you think you would do better or differently?

Personally, I often write in a journal to a lot of self-reflection and try to turn inward,

but I still find myself stuck in the same mental loop sometimes.

Thank you so much.

So let's talk about it and welcome back to this episode of This is Hazel.

First of all, overthinking is not a personality trait.

It's not who you are.

It's just a learned mental habit,

like repetitive program that feels productive but actually goes nowhere in psychology

that breaks this overthinking process down into two types first rumination

which is replaying the past and second worry which is imagining future threats

and this fifth is very convincing because it tells you

if you just think a little bit more you'll find a perfect answer.

It disguises itself as preparation.

It makes you believe that if you imagine every worst case scenario,

you'll somehow avoid them.

But that's not true.

This habit turns simple decisions into overwhelming ones.

It replays your mistakes over and over again.

It fills your nights with noise when you're supposed to be resting or sleeping.

And maybe the worst part is,

It takes away your present.

You can be sitting with your friends,

but you're not really there.

You're replaying something you said at work,

worrying about something that hasn't even happened yet.

Like your body is there, but your mind isn't.

And over time, it drains your energy,

increases your anxiety, and eventually leaves you with the feeling of too afraid to make a move,

so you can't make the move.

Okay, to stop this, we need to understand why it happens.

Overthinking isn't your brain trying to sabotage you.

It's actually trying to protect you.

It's not totally a bad thing.

Back then, being able to analyze threats,

learn from the past, your mistakes,

unprepared for the future was essential for survival.

That part of your brain is actually very useful.

You need to know what's coming and you need to know what to learn from the past, right?

You need to know if something goes wrong or some things might be your threats.

Today is different.

Now your brain reacts to things like a text message,

a deadline, or slightly awkward social moments.

So in the end, how much you think,

how much we worry, and how much time we spend on it,

that's something we need to decide and regulate ourselves.

Because this overthinking is actually a function,

a capability of our mind, not just anxiety.

So it's all about control.

Your brain is trying to create a sense of control when things feel uncertain but instead it just keeps you stuck.

But the good news is this is learned which means it can be unlearned.

And trust me, I'm a huge control freak too.

Honestly, I might not even be the best person to make this video but these things helped.

Okay, so the goal for us isn't to eliminate the thoughts.

I think it's impossible, I think.

It's to change your relationship with them.

Okay, the step one.

Notice and label The first step is simply awareness You're not judging it,

you're just observing it When you name it,

you create the space between you and the thought You are not the thought,

you are the one noticing it And that weakens its power And step two,

schedule your worry Yes, set aside a specific time to worry About like 15-20 minutes a day During that time,

let yourself think freely write things down, analyze them, feel everything.

In the comment, this friend mentioned journaling and that actually helped me too.

For me, I tend to think I need to solve the problem to move on.

100

I need to have the solution to be okay with it.

101

But before that, organizing my emotions really helps.

102

Journaling doesn't always give me solutions,

103

of course, which is like my feelings,

104

but it gives me the space to understand what I'm feeling and why I'm feeling this.

105

And when the time is up, you stop.

106

When worries come up outside that time,

107

you tell yourself, I'll think about it later.

108

I know it's hard.

109

It's not easy.

110

But interestingly, after some time passes, the emotional intensity fades.

111

Solutions come more naturally after that.

112

Step three, take action.

113

Overthinking is strongest when you're not taking action.

114

So the solution is simply move.

115

Whatever it is, do it for five minutes.

116

This small action breaks the thinking loop and most of the time,

117

those five minutes turn into more.

118

If possible, take connection that moves you closer to solving the problem.

119

If not, maybe just call someone who can help and

120

if even that feels like too much just go outside

121

and take a walk

122

that counts too overthinking quietly steals your life the goal isn't

123

to have no thoughts it's to become someone who can manage

124

them to acknowledge them to notice them delay them act anyway

125

and come back to the present that's enough don't try to do everything at once just pick one thing

126

and let me know in the comments which steps stood out to you

127

and if you have your own way

128

or a better way of managing your mind of course i'd love to hear

129

that too um it was nice to talk to you i talked to you

130

but yeah see you next time and bye

131

You're going

132

to Did it get hurt whatsoever?

133

We can make it better Tell me,

134

boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?

背景與背景

在這段影片中，講者探討了一個許多人面臨的共同問題——過度思考。很多時候，我們躺在床上，思緒卻無法平靜，總是回憶起過去的對話，或者擔心未來的種種可能性。這種心理狀態並不是與生俱來的，而是一種因環境和習慣而形成的思維模式。通過這個影片，講者希望幫助大家識別並克服這種過度思考的習慣，從而更好地享受生活的每一刻。

日常交流中的五個關鍵短語

“我總是在想太多。” - 認識到過度思考是一個常見問題。
“這是我的反思過程。” - 強調自我反思的重要性。
“我需要專注於現在。” - 提醒我們活在當下。
“擔心無濟於事。” - 指出過度擔憂無法帶來解決方案。
“採取行動是關鍵。” - 鼓勵實踐和行動取代思考。

影片中的語法

說話人最常用的結構，並附上影片中的原話：

結構	影片中的用法
定語從句 who / which + 從句 — 補充說明人或事物	person who asked · worry which is · learned which means
現在完成時 have/has + 過去分詞 — 過去發生但與現在仍有關聯的事	has been · hasn't even happened
被動語態 be + 過去分詞 — 強調發生了什麼，而不是誰做的	is actually started · is learned

什麼是跟讀法？

跟讀法 (Shadowing) 是一種有科學依據的語言學習技巧，最初開發用於專業口譯員的培訓，並由多語言者Alexander Arguelles博士普及。這個方法簡單而強大：您在聽英語母語原聲的同時立即大聲重複——就像是一個延遲1-2秒緊跟說話者的影子。與被動聽力或語法練習不同，跟讀法強迫您的大腦和口腔肌肉同時處理並模模擬實的講話模式。研究表明它能顯著提高發音準確性，語調，節奏，連讀，聽力理解和口語流利度——使其成為雅思口語備考和真實英語交流最有效的方法之一。
