"If you want to be happy, don't think !" ( 'Kids', 1995)

Sometimes overthinking make the problems bigger than they really are.

This, and many other reasons is why Mike is one of my favourite characters

This is why Mike is my favorite character of the show he was way too relatable.

Watching this channel has become a part of my daily basis

I don’t wanna learn from Mike. He destroyed his entire life, his family, everything. Why would I want to be like him?

I love the overlay of this lesson on Mike E as a character. Even from his first appearance as a Cleaner in Breaking Bad, describing him as not crippled by over thinking, not at all reckless but someone who understands that Clarity follows action it’s not a prerequisite. That Clarity is part of iterative problem solving, not something you can achieve by planning.

My grandfather came to live his last two years with us, and in my head I had so many conversations with him, but in reality, most days I didn't say more than "hey grandpa." Now he's gone, and I still think the same thing. It's sad to live like this, i ruined my life.

As introvert schizo this man help a lot, just you need to do small stuff. Even if everyone says you are lazy, at least you start to do while everyone complain.

Wow, all it needed was 8 min and I started thinking about my overthinking. But now I do it in a slightly simpler way.
Great vid and great character! Cheers!

"Your thoughts might be the thing that  holding you back."

Ugh, this is so expressive! I suffer from my dark and negative thoughts that interpret every situation against me.

Mike is the worst example you could have chosen. He was an ex-cop. He doesn't have to overthink becaue he's spent so much time overthinking already, that it's ingrained into him, to already anticipate and counter. This is shown numerous times throughout his screentime.

He doesn't 'not overthink'. He's just so experienced and fine tuned that for the most part, he doesn't even have to.

I think Mike used to be a cop in New Jersey. A lot of what he notices and how he reacts comes from experiences he had back when he was on the force.

Imagine if instead of Mike he took Walter white as example lol

This was well done

Trust me bro you're changing lives😢

Walt: overthinking
Jesse: underthinking
Mike: just right thinking

There's a difference between thinking a lot and overthinking

Overthinking is like a phobia, for example being afraid of heights isn't a phobia unless you can't look down or up without getting significantly shaken up,

Also because people often associate thinking thoroughly with overthinking

For example:

"Yo dude you're overthinking this whole thing" - most people who use the word overthinking
Other guy: "it's a fucking bank heist of course we're thinking things through" - most people accused of overthinking when in reality they're thinking the exact amount they are supoosed to for the task at hand,


Also so many people underthinking is why we're still in a corrupt, near-dystopia, at least overthinking can (mostly) only hurt yourself and not everyone including yourself still, like underthinking does

Well a mix of under and over thinking but over thinking at least is an attempt to improve, underthinking is inherently stagnant making it the much bigger issue.

Underthinking is why there are 3 vacants homes for everyone homeless person in the U.S.
Underthinking is why unions have been basically forgotten
Underthinking is why we keep picking horrible democrats and republicans when there are actually decent 3rd party options
Underthinking is why rich people can keep stealing from the little guy and get away with it
Underthinking is what let's criminals like diddy get off nearly scott free(compared to what he should've got)
Underthinking is what let's heros like luigi magione getting arrested for killing a monster
Overthinking stresses yourself out
Overthinking can scare and upset yourself
Not really anywhere remotely close at all to the damage caused underthinking.

(Also inaction but underthinking is what leads to said inaction, or worse self centeredness might be the cause)

Overthinking can lead to inaction but that's 99% of the time going to be an issue in a movie not reality like defusing an explosive

mike didnt overthink hurting waltuh pride in one specific episode
