  • High school student Tally Feingold is a textbook over-thinker. In her TEDxLFHS talk, Tally discusses how the concept of “the butterfly effect” helped her develop healthy rationals for evaluating her decision-making processes and rescuing her from being trapped inside her own head. Royalty Free Intro Music: “Stay (Sting)” by Otis McDonald.
    Tally Feingold is a junior at Lake Forest High School and is so excited to be involved in TEDxLFHS for the first time this year! At school, she is involved in LFHS theatre as a director and an actor, and she is also a co-captain of Speech Team. She is very passionate about words and learning languages and spends her free time studying them. She also enjoys trying as many new things as possible whether that be through course selection, travel, or clubs. She is so grateful to have the opportunity to share some significant ideas and values that have shaped her life! This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

    It is said that too much mental thoughts are bad for health. I'm a over thinker, especially at night. I think I need to stop judging myself and my past. It's okay if I am not one hundred percent perfect!

      I have difficulty shutting my mind off. Things like running or jump roping can shut the mind off temporarily. I am excessively detail-oriented and obsessively take notes and make lists. I want to be free.

      Beggin to find a way to sleep 8h per night
      And stop doing bad habits: masturbation, drugs, bad talk about yourself and others, too much stimulation from social medias, and doing the right things, eat healthy, sport, reading, writing, cold showers, fasting.
      Hope you find yourself

      right and I'm pretty sure people are also thinking about themselves and they don't think or remember you or your past mistakes, the only one judging you is yourself so stop it

    Userful video. Be careful what you feed your mind. Avoid comparing yourself with others, avoid storing bottled up emotions, reduce watching negative social media and avoid constipation as it affects the mind. Your breathing is closely related to the brain [mind] and gives relief from stress and overthinking. For a relaxed mind observe the sensations of your incoming--outgoing breath at the entrance of the nostrils and within the nostrils for 5-10-15 minutes or more. You can sit on a chair or lay down anywhere, be as still as possible, eyes closed but no deep breathing. Don’t fight your thoughts. Make it a lifetime habit to observe your breath before sleep, when travelling, when reading, at the workplace etc, if needed with eyes open. Best wishes--Counsellor.

    I’m an overthinkertoo. Just let those thoughts flow and they wi Th go away faster. Don’t pay them any mind, don’t act on them, don’t give them any more attention than needed. Just let them flow and let them go. If they become irrelevant they stop occurring so often.

      How do we not give them attention when they appear on the mind board ,🥲by default the attention goes to it. And as the mind knows what we r planning it even knows the way to disrupt it doesn't it

    Our brains love to overthink in an attempt to solve imaginary problems it creates; which is why it's so important to calm the mind. Meditation is cool, as is mindfulness for giving it some down time. I like the workbook on amz called 30 Days to Reduce Stress by Harper Daniels, and the Tao Te Ching for reminding myself that the brain is needs to slow down.

    I experienced the same thing yesterday when I was preparing for an exam. When I heard dramatic music, I imagined what would happen if the exam went wrong and that's when I started believing that just because I imagined that would happen, it would happen, and I was unable to concentrate on my studies. It is a very important medical school entrance exam. please wish me luck and pray for me.

      I’m curious as to how saying she is super nervous is helpful in any way? As an overthinker I’m sure she knows that. You could have left it at “Cool talk” which it is. Huge admiration for the speaker to be in the arena and standing up so courageously. 👏
