Love Letter to the Overthinker

To overthink is to think about something too much or for too long.

If you are an over thinker, you are not alone, because this was me.

For me, this will be a special letter, because it was a mirror to my own life. I, like you, struggled with overthinking just about everything. I lived in my thoughts a majority of the time. For a good portion of that time, I found myself thinking way beyond what was necessary about a particular situation or subject. To some extent, this can be beneficial because it allows us the time to thoroughly flesh out the subject. However, it becomes a problem when we psychologically impose our mindset about something or someone onto a reality that does not exist. Instead of taking people at face value, we end up placing on them, thoughts, motives, and attitudes that are at times unfounded. In some cases, our thought process is so far from the truth, we end up self-sabotaging ourselves in relationships, careers, life goals, etc.

“I think therefore I am.” René Descartes

We are what we think, do and consume. We are the sum total of our thoughts.

If our thoughts are askew, then by extension so will our actions be.

“For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares Yahuah. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.” Isaiah 55:8-9

“Trust in Yahuah with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.” Proverbs 3:5-6

It is difficult to not be an over thinker, because well, old habits die hard. However, I believe with a growing desire to encapsulate a higher frequency of thought, higher mind, and higher vibration, you will not overthink but think high instead.

It takes power from the Most High to make this leap. With a willing heart and the desire to get there, I know you are well on your way.

If you wish it, say this small affirmation and prayer:

Dear Heavenly Father, You have said that Your thoughts are higher than my thoughts as the heavens are higher than the earth. You have also said that Your kingdom is within me. Father, thank You that You have placed and are placing within me a higher mind. Thank You for Your spirit of Truth. With this power given me by the Holy Spirit, I now am a higher frequency of thought. I am a higher vibration in Yahusha name, so let it be. So be it.

With the above affirmation, we pass from overthinking to higher-thinking.

And if our thoughts are high, so will our lives also be elevated, because “whatsoever a man (or woman) thinks in his (her) heart so is he (she).”
