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.

The only time I DON’T overthink is when Mark posts a new video. Clicking on it is not even a question. 😂 #TotallyOCD

[@marks.3198]

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."

[@katiesanders96]

That is too funny!! And relatable!

[@Nightwalker25-m3u]

I 100% agree, the dejesus family sounds like a family that would be tons of fun to hang out with.

[@katiesanders96]

@@Nightwalker25-m3u Exactly. I would love to meet them in person and interact.

[@mandi5231]

I love this comment. I also want to notice how many more things I do that I dont overthink!!

[@ichoozjc]

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

[@AprilAnnette]

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!

[@roamerofjesus9660]

My dad said the same man! ❤️thank God for dad’s lol

[@LexHeroux]

You know what my dad told me? He said, just make a decision and stick with it @markdejesus 😂

[@RevTimes]

Awesome advice.. I have to tell myself the same to get me through each day

[@loriwelch9015]

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!!

[@katiesanders96]

MARK IS BACK!!! WOOHOO!!! 😄🥳

[@Nightwalker25-m3u]

Do you have Instagram Katie?

[@DesertBlossomCrafts]

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?

[@MonicaBU]

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.

[@MomoTHEJojo]

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.

[@JenniferBartram-gr4np]

There is such good wisdom in this message!! I’ve been overthinking something in my life but I’m making no progress!!

[@randallmanns5211]

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.

[@coreyr.9139]

Oh man I needed this one today! Thanks Mark and Melissa for all that you do.

[@dereksdepot]

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

[@jamiekeller9915]

@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! 😆💗

[@LexHeroux]

He does that!!!! I have noticed the same thing with almost all of his videos. 🎉

[@jamiekeller9915]

Such detail! Love it.

[@alanhoward9974]

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

Ahhh hallelujah just in the nick of time. I'm gonna enjoy this. Big thank you Mark for your Encouragement during these end times.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Can’t tell you how much your stuff helps me. Unbelievable. Thank you so much. I wish I could have a chat with you!

Always great videos

[@believeonChriststaystrong7589]

Added to my list to listen to later. Thanks Mark!

[@estebanfranco2012]

Mark can you do more videos on fear of abandonment and rejection, whether is with God, in marriage and etc.

[@nycqueenisme]

Powerful. You’re the best Mark! Thank you for all you do!!💪🏼🙏🏼

Yes. No. I mean, I think so . . . But not sure, maybe . . . Yeah . . . Idk! Ok yeah definitely 😅 ❤

[@Nightwalker25-m3u]

Im overthinking about the rapture, but thats good right?

[@MomoTHEJojo]

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?

[@CharlieBass5]

What is the process of "{Giving Yourself Permission"?

[@Sweet2kiss1]

🤦🏿‍♀️🙋🏿‍♀️

[@victoriaparker401]

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? 🤣🤣🤦🏾‍♀️

[@pinkroses135]

Hallmark neuroticism torture

[@believeonChriststaystrong7589]

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.

[@estebanfranco2012]

Mark can you do more videos on fear of abandonment and rejection, whether is with God, in marriage and etc.

[@asijahjett2904]

I overthink so much I can’t even breathe seriously it sucks

[@commontater]

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.

I do this as well.

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 🙏

[@beoansaol]

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.

[@reuben_357]

Thank you!!!

Yayy he is back! I thought he was done! 🎉🎉🎉

The only time I don’t overthink is when Mark DeJesus drops some of that new Khantint!

God's timing - I really needed to see this today! Thank you so much!

[@ardiegeier7378]

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.

[@mollyjoan7392]

Thank you Mark.

[@suej4430]

Mark, what I love about your content is that you make things so clear, and then you provide steps to combat. (Clearly written and enumerated. In separate screens!) Thank you so much for not just talking about the problem but the actual steps to help! You are such a blessing to the Body of Christ!

[@ericswecker9971]

Holy schmoly- you are so on I’m making astonished noises!🙋‍♀️🙌

[@JustinAnthonySantos]

The bible does say we need to rebuke thoughts in Jesus name.

[@knowtruth2773]

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.

[@ariannescuteri0924]

Exactly what I needed to hear today. Thank you!!

[@Chelz15]

YO!!!!!! ❤

[@BlackWolfTribe]

You’re a blessing..

[@ansonhoward559]

I Thank God for your ministry to help those with struggles in the mind. Great strategy against the devil’s snares.

[@roamerofjesus9660]

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.

[@eddie9024]

Bless you brother Mark thank you for these messages about mental health that also relate with ones path in Christ

[@godsdaughter1954]

I over think. Got a abnormal mammogram need another. Had cancer 2x in my life. I do have health anxiety, but I overthink. Got chronic sinus issues. On antibiotics again. Feeling gross, so I think I am dying. So tired of this

[@nostalgic_blue]

This is super helpful for the GAD rumination that can feel like quicksand. Your advice for fighting double-mindedness by taking (any) step forward to walk in faith is so simple but it works.

[@ForhisGlory-rb6os]

Hello mark, I was wondering if you had any advice for looking for churches to cingregats at when you struggle with ocd?

[@plumucci]

If have ADHD with mind racing especially at night. 🥴

[@ringforthrev]

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.

I have huge issues with overthinking, worry and anxiety, especially now that times have been really tough financially.
