@sweetnessinseattle206 3 месяца назад

Imperfections are where humanity is. Imperfect is real. The flaws of things give those things character. When I started painting, I learned to look at an object over and over. There is beauty in every flower, not just the flower that most closely approaches symmetrical perfection. I say approach because perfection, if possible, could only be momentary because all things are in perpetual motion. This is also not taking into consideration the subjective nature of perfection since beauty really is in the eye of the beholder. I really appreciate your statement, "Don't let perfect be the enemy of good." Thank you for this video. It is "perfect" for inaction breaking.

Hello, Clark. I just wanted to thank you for this video. I'm in Málaga, Spain at the moment and will start a teaching job in Sevilla in September. I'm worrying about silly things: the fact I'm not working at the moment, even though I have enough money to last me for a few months. But the biggest thing has been my creative front: I haven't written a song in YEARS barely written a story or worked on my writing projects in almost a year and feel creatively drained. I realized it's my mind. I'm 39 and going through a huge life change and your video made me realize that I need to be more present, work on myself and take action. Your videos really do impact and help people. Thank you! ❤

@mrsipps 3 месяца назад

When I'm overthinking.... I lean on my value system. Tapping those specific resources....spirituality (prayer) health and well-being (workout, bike ride, walk, sweat), call a friend or family member, pick up my guitar, create, or gratitude journal. The hardest part is "trusting" your value system will be the fix as you push to take action towards it. Great content!

"Don't compare yourself to other people."

@DFridrich 3 месяца назад

Gold! All you said above is so true. What helps me is to focus at the most dominant thought at a time and just mentally and imagining me deleting it or dissolving it from the space/time or the information field. It’s a really cool practice and with time, you can really become pretty damn good at it and get to a state where there are just no thoughts left at a given moment. Which puts you much more the present. Basically, it’s applying NLP on myself

Thanks for the video Clark! Amazing content :) One of the things I've learned from overthinking is that you need to focus on the things you can realistically do. We stress ourselves out on things we don't even have control of. Focus on what you have in hands, take a realistic approach, and, as Clark said, keep it slow and go one step at a time.

@snazzilla 3 месяца назад

This is really great advice. I will definitely put these in action. Thanks for posting these videos. I’m not really religious, but when I’m feeling anxious I have to stop and tell myself to “Give it to God”. This really helps me slow down and gives me a feeling of I’m not alone. I also look at the root word of Worry, which means to strangle. I worry a lot, translates to, I’m strangling my thoughts.

i feel like just trying to live in the moment helps and understanding that when ur overthinking something ur not living in the present and u just assume it will go bad when u haven’t even tried. i do lash extentions and for the longest time i would cancel or reschedule ppl because of my anxiety of thinking about the day coming and feeling like everything will go wrong when i truly won’t know unless i do it. there was one client i had that i was having super bad anxiety about but i pushed myself anyways to do it cuz i know it’s the only way i’ll get over my anxiety and overthinking and it ended up being the most gorgeous lash set ever and it gave me such a good feeling once i was done and motivated me more. i feel like u just have to do things without letting ur overthinking / anxiety control u as much as it’s easy to let it control u ❤

Me and my grandpa started going to the driving range every week to shoot golf balls. The first time, I used a right handed club and then I practiced with a left handed club the next week. A key takeaway from this is I would do a lot of practice swings. And every time I would try to make sure I made a good shot, I would do these practice swings and funny enough they got worse every time before I made the actual shot, then I would either miss or it would be a weak swing. Then I sort of let my body go and I would just take the shot. And every time I did this, my ball would fly further and further. And this ties into a lot of aspects of my life such as school. I would start crushing tests and doing extremely well when I learned how to live in the present moment and letting go of all connections to the past, future, and what I would do by overcomplicating it.
