When you woke up this morning, what was the first thought that came to your mind about you? About Today? And about the many challenges you are likely to encounter today? And which of the thoughts have been reccuring?
You see, more often than not, the conversation we have with ourserlves – within ourselves, sets the tone for the outcomes in our lives. I call this internal dialogue self-talk.
So, what self-talk are you having about yourself? Hopefully, it should be more positive than negative.
Why is it important to watch the thoughts you consistently allow to take root in your heart? It is simply because your thoughts have power. Your thoughts shape your perception of your reality; and ultimately, your actual reality. The Scripture captures this well by admonishing us to ‘guard our hearts with all diligence, because it is from it that issues of life come forth.
Yes, I know doing this can be difficult when we are faced with so many challenges. Yet, we just have to keep at it.
Actually we shouldnt expect to become an optimist overnight. However, with practice, our self-talk will eventually become less self-critical and more accepting. In fact, this will positively influence how we also see the world around us.
So, as you go about expecting to achieve those lofty goals you aim for this week, remember to keep ‘guarding your heart with all diligence…’ And, what better time and way to start than now by changing your mind from ‘There’s no way it will work’ to ‘I will do my best to make it work’.
I’m rooting for you. Always.
