THINKING TOO MUCH

“Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” Proverbs 4:23, NIV

There are some who are thinkers. They ponder, muse, speculate, evaluate, and explore everything. If it were possible, they could help you think of things in your own mind. A certain amount of self-evaluation can be good. We should have insight into ourselves, our motives, our choices, our actions and our thoughts. 

Sometimes thinking too much can be exciting, productive, adrenaline-inducing and other times it can be stressful, burdensome and depressing. Overthinking will complicates things because when you over-think about something you are most definitely complicating it. Thinking too much turns something simple into something so complicated in your mind; to the point where coming out of the complication seems impossible.

Sometimes it makes you live in fear and you find yourself never taking the right action. An over-thinker constantly keeps on thinking of the worst possible outcomes, to every situation and scenario. It cripples your inner strength and paralyses your faith.

I encourage you to find ways to channel your thoughts with God's thoughts by staying in His Word. When you do, you'll become creative or productive in anything you choose to embark on without thinking too much.
