Knock out the Negativity

In today’s episode, I wanted to tackle our negative thoughts. Our minds are constantly filled with these toxic negative self-talk but negative thoughts go beyond our self-talk. Our fears of the future are negative thoughts. Cancelling out a positive with a negative statement is a form of our negative thoughts. “I lost 3 lbs this week but I was aiming for 5 lbs so I’m still fat.” Focusing on the one frustrating hour that happened today with the kid instead of remembering the other 23 hours that were actually peaceful and full of joy and laughter. And so many times, we don’t even begin to recognize these “smaller” negative thoughts as toxic, do we? They seem so small and harmless. They are out of habit ad we don’t even realize they're negative.Some of us have a habit of being negative and we don’t even realize we do it. So what I want to focus on today is two things:Help you recognize the negativity and toxic thoughts in your daily lifeHelp you pivot that thought back around to the positive, the thought that is based on God’s promises and truthsThis is not about turning you into positive polly and you walk around like a cheerleader 24/7, all perky and smiling. This is about living a life in accordance with Jesus Christ. It is about keeping our minds centered on God. It’s about allowing God to infiltrate EVERY aspect of our lives, including our thoughts. Most importantly our thoughts! Don’t you want to be living a life where God is with you, providing you with this peace that transcends our understanding? Do you want to keep going down this road of being the negative nancy? (sorry nancy). How does life feel when you’re mind is saturating with negative, down, fearful thoughts? It’s pretty exhausting isn’t it. We don’t like to be there. So let me help you start practicing capturing our thoughts and focusing our energies only on our thoughts “worthy of praise”. IG: @thebeautifullyenoughpodcastFB: Valarie ReynoldsMusic: https://www.purple-planet.comSupport the showWork with me // www.valreynolds.comConnect with me // @val_reynoldsCollab with me // [email protected]
