I am sure we all know that a positive outlook on life is extremely important to have a good life and be successful. I have been hearing this for the past four years. I hear my friends talk about manifesting, self-love, positive affirmations, and meditation. I knew that those things were all good and amazing and I knew they were on to something! But I felt something tell me they are missing something. This isn't the whole answer. That my friends was the holy spirit. I recently stumbled upon a Dr. Caroline Leaf; she had uncovered the truth. I could go on and on about what she say but the basics are this: We have good and bad thoughts. Bad thoughts cause sickness in our brain and our bodies. Good thoughts heal and renew. Our brain is neuro-plastic meaning it is always changing. So we need to think good thoughts not bad thoughts. But what is missing from the equation is God. For all of this to work in a healthy way the holy spirit needs to be guiding us. For us to bring the things we want into our lives we need God to be at the center of our positivity. He needs to be the source of good thoughts.
With that being said recently I took that into action. I knew that I needed constant reminders or habits to keep my brain in the right place and keep my brain creating positive Godly thoughts. This is what I have come up with so far to create that kind of atmosphere.
- Christian Meditation-I always loved meditating but now it has such meaning. I use an app called Abide. It has guided Christian meditations. It is a great time to be still and just renew your mind.
- Sticky Note Bible-So I remember a long time ago doing Sticky Notes with a Bible Quote. I was an event with church. But the basis was to put Bible verses on sticky notes and have them handy. That is what I have done: I put verses on sticky notes and index cards and placed them all over the areas of the house that I frequently find myself.(Diaper table, bathroom sink, desk, couch, and as bookmarks. These are constant reminders of God's truths.
- Scripture Soaking-I listen to an audio Bible basically. You can find them on YouTube. Some of them even have relaxing music playing with them. This is great when playing with your child or going to sleep or cooking.
- Sermons and Teaching-I listen to sermons and Bible teaching all day. I fill my mind full of the Lord. I listen to what he has to say. I listen to solid believers and what God has revealed to them.
That is essentially what I do. As you can see it encompasses my life! I have God in everything. I try to keep Him at the center of my life and my attention. Of course I utterly fail all the time. But I am always trying something new and working to be more in-tune with the Holy Spirit and listen for God's words.
Since I have been doing this my life has by no means done a complete turn around and I am now on cloud 9. But when a problem arises the Holy Spirit brings me wisdom. I feel more equipped to handle problems in life and I am no longer constantly seeking answers in other places.
