Description
This week in church the message was about negative thinking…which I thought was fitting as I’m talking about similar topics. It was mentioned that we natural gravitate to negative thinking. Like when we go to a restaurant it’s more likely we will complain about what went wrong rather than what we liked(or verbalize it). It’s like when we get some compliments about something we worked on but we also get one negative review….what is it we are likely to focus on? I know for me it’s always been the negative…me being a sort of people pleaser or wanting people to love me, made me dwell on the things I did wrong and how I could’ve done it differently. The point is that we tend to lean toward the negative ESPECIALLY in our thought life. Cause our thoughts can continue to go down hill if we don’t stop them in their tracks and switch our focus to things above!Whatever is true, noble, right, pur, lovely, admirable, praiseworthy…think on THESE things! We have to shift our focus when we start to hear those lies coming in. Phil 4:8Ways we can strengthen ourselves in this area: 1. Engage in Worship: Engage in worship and praise. Singing hymns or listening to worship music can shift your focus from negative thoughts to the greatness and goodness of God.- Talk about worship- lol2. Set Boundaries: Be intentional about what you allow into your mind. Limit exposure to negative influences, such as certain media, social media accounts, or unhealthy relationships that perpetuate negative thinking.- what you put in will eventually come out. Period. So choose to fill your eyes and ears with good things!3. Replace Lies with Truth: Identify specific lies you believe about yourself, others, or God. Counter each lie with a corresponding truth from the Bible. Memorize these truths and repeat them whenever negative thoughts arise.Be encouraged, challenged and blessed today!!✨Come hang with me on IG- https://www.instagram.com/mrsangelapitnikoff/✨Join our FB sisterhood!- https://www.facebook.com/groups/kingdomdaughterssisterhood✨Be more amazing and leave a review!- https://lovethepodcast.com/LoHGyj✨Want some fun free resources?
