Trust Your Gut | David Vobora | TEDxSMU 

I tend to overthink things a lot too. I'm really trying to figure out how to go with my gut, do you have any advice on how to do so?

I lacked a great deal of confidence esp. with social interaction before and that was the reason why I didn't trust my gut. What I did was I just went with it consistently and learned to not be too hard on myself and used a great deal of common sense as well. Later I got much better at it. What's your reason for overthinking anyway in general?

I tend to rationalize things away. It happens so quickly I barely notice it. So far, I’ve been able to catch it once (yay 1 victory) but most often it’s difficult to catch. I’m kind of an over thinker in general.

How do you do that? is there any exercise? can you elaborate on how ?

I am still an overthinker one way or another. You will get better at it if you practice, choose to be brave and go with the flow. Good luck! I still am improving, myself. 🙂

Yeah I agree - the how is so important. SFC is the way to go for sure!!!

Yeah it would be good to know to actually know how to do this.

it basically involves actually having a dialogue - a conversation with yourself.

It certainly helps to keep it healthy and clean.

Allow me to address the anxieties underlying your concerns. First, let us consider the fact that for the first time ever, as a species, immortality is in our reach. This simple fact has far-reaching implications. It requires radical rethinking and revision of our genetic imperatives. It also requires planning and forethought that run in direct opposition to our neural pre-sets. I find it helpful at times like these to remind myself that our true enemy is Instinct. Instinct was our mother when we were an infant species. Instinct coddled us and kept us safe in those hardscrabble years when we hardened our sticks and cooked our first meals above a meager fire and started at the shadows that leapt upon the cavern's walls. But inseparable from Instinct is its dark twin, Superstition. Instinct is inextricably bound to unreasoning impulses, and today we clearly see its true nature. Instinct has just become aware of its irrelevance, and like a cornered beast, it will not go down without a bloody fight. Instinct would inflict a fatal injury on our species. Instinct creates its own oppressors, and bids us rise up against them. Instinct tells us that the unknown is a threat, rather than an opportunity. Instinct slyly and covertly compels us away from change and progress. Instinct, therefore, must be expunged.

D.L. Brett I like it too should head back to the gym

Olebull93 google, “calling of the void”

WTF?!??

don't agree. The argument he's making is that 1/2 people died, if he would trust his gut he would of saved the other person (at least have a fair chance) and there would be no deaths. That's his point.

Closed mindedness
