Overcoming Overthinking
Overthinking can be a problem for many who struggle with anxiety, OCD, depression or other mental health struggles. It can be easy to fall into the trap of overthinking, as we can believe that by overanalyzing or ruminating over something, somehow we may be able to solve the issue. But in fact, overthinking becomes a trap that keeps us bound in chronic cycles.
In this broadcast, I want to bring out why overthinking is harmful and how we can begin walking in greater healing. Whether you struggle with overthinking on a regular basis or just occasionally find yourself getting caught up in your own thoughts, this video has something for you.

I find as I'm talking to people I'm still talking in my head. Both at the same time ugh.
The only time I DON’T overthink is when Mark posts a new video. Clicking on it is not even a question. 😂 #TotallyOCD

No joke: I saw the title, thought "Definitely me", then another part said, "Well... do I REALLY overthink? I don't do it THAT much."

I love this comment. I also want to notice how many more things I do that I dont overthink!!
There has not been a video yet that has not been a blessing to me. I thank The Lord, greatly for sending me to you and your videos.
Being stuck in chronic overthinking and fear is not being sober minded. I will never forget when Mark said this once it really helps me understand things.
I’m guilty of overthinking which feeds my anxiety!! Overthinking doesn’t change my situation and I’m so frustrated with myself!! Thank you for this video!!
1. Become aware of how overthinking is stealing your peace. 2. Start taking steps 3. Change your relationship with fear. 4. Starve the constant self-analysis 5. Slow down and take moments to practice stillness
I overthink so much I can’t even breathe seriously it sucks

Me too. You aren't alone. As Mark says we are all goofy. Be kind to yourself. I literally feel like maybe I'm having a heart attack. Then it goes away. Then it comes back. On and on it goes.

My dad encouraged me just to get up and take care of my family. Sounds a lot like just trusting God despite my feelings and spinnies. My dad's name is Mark too!

Awesome advice.. I have to tell myself the same to get me through each day
Dr Martin Lloyd Jones calls this Morbid Scrupulosity. He says the same thing. Instead of just staring at yourself just go serve someone else. I struggle with this. And I noticed I do talk a lot and and not a lot of action or maybe I do start something but end up stopping. My issue is overwhelming intrusive thoughts and emotions.
Wow this puts into words exactly what I’ve been experiencing for YEARS. I’m tired of feeling anxious, depressed, and trauma. Need help Exiting this cycle.
This hit the nail on the head again! It’s so true that I believe if I just get to the bottom of the situation I’ll have the peace and joy. But it never happens that way. Something else always comes up and it’s a new thing to overthink and obsess about.
@Mark DeJesus! Wow. The letters for the slides on the right and the background are the same as your shirt! It looks like you planned to match your screen! 😆💗

Such detail! Love it.
Oh man I needed this one today! Thanks Mark and Melissa for all that you do.
Perfect timing, this is something am finally beginning to take serious notice of for it is affecting my relationship with God and the grip of it has gotten intense. Praying for a calm mind one positive thought at a time. Thank God for you good sir, prayers for you and your family 🙏
The only time I don’t overthink is when Mark DeJesus drops some of that new Khantint!
What about when you’re overthinking your relationship and moving forward with marriage is the "next step" but you're terrified out of your mind because of all the obsessions and doubts you've had?
There is such good wisdom in this message!! I’ve been overthinking something in my life but I’m making no progress!!
If you're happy and you know it, overthink, If you're happy and you know it, overthink, If you're happy and you know it, give your brain a chance to blow it, If you're happy and you know it, overthink. (sung to tune of "If you're happy...") Thanks, Mark, I see myself in much of what you talked about. Maybe better to clap my hands instead.
Another great reminder, thanks Mark. I met with a friend this evening over dinner, and we actually talked much of what you spoke here. Getting outside of yourself and into relationship is such an antidote to the poison that can be naval gazing
Ahhh hallelujah just in the nick of time. I'm gonna enjoy this. Big thank you Mark for your Encouragement during these end times.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Yayy he is back! I thought he was done! 🎉🎉🎉
Holy schmoly- you are so on I’m making astonished noises!🙋♀️🙌
Mark can you do more videos on fear of abandonment and rejection, whether is with God, in marriage and etc.
Thank you Mark, l have been saved 42 years but your imput has taken me into a wonderful freedom that l never benefited in before. God bless you
I have done this unknowingly what you suggest at the end of the video.What you suggest is working allready on my life. God started leading me in that direction. I take this as a confirmation that i am heading in the right direction.
Bless you brother Mark thank you for these messages about mental health that also relate with ones path in Christ
God's timing - I really needed to see this today! Thank you so much!
I Thank God for your ministry to help those with struggles in the mind. Great strategy against the devil’s snares.
This has been a TREMENDOUS BLESSING!
You’re a blessing..
Thank you!!!
This is so true, finally starting to come out of it. It is exciting to actually take a step, whether I fail or not. Life has been waiting all along, I thank God that He woke me up to experience it again. Thank you Mark for what you do

As an overthinker I'm all of 1-5 but more 3-5. Since there are no FIXES I'm in a "why bother" mode ant I can't seem to do anything. I know I'm in an avoidance mode cause I can't ger a guaranty that anything will work.
Im overthinking about the rapture, but thats good right?
Thank you for the tips forward Mark. You mentioned that this is a renewal process, Not overnight. How can we practice patience in the process? Also, how do you avoid getting distracted or forgetting to work on what God is telling you to? Or is this actually overthinking too?
Hello mark, I was wondering if you had any advice for looking for churches to cingregats at when you struggle with ocd?
What is the process of "{Giving Yourself Permission"?
🤦🏿♀️🙋🏿♀️
This is me to a T
Mark, you didn't have to come for me the way you did but I greatly appreciate you for it but next time can a sista get some background music or something to soothe the uncomfortable areas of accepting truth? 🤣🤣🤦🏾♀️
The bible does say we need to rebuke thoughts in Jesus name.

Yes, but overthinkers take that scripture and begin to rebuke all thoughts on subjects that disturb them until they are bound in fear, instead of dismissing the thoughts. In a sense, it completely backfires on them.
Hallmark neuroticism torture
Mark can you do more videos on fear of abandonment and rejection, whether is with God, in marriage and etc.
