Assignment begins below. Please take the course of your week to complete. If it takes you longer, that is okay. Be patient with yourself as you thoughtfully think through it all.
Goal
Today (and every day), we focus on the positives!
It’s a scientific and Biblical (Philippians 4:8) fact that what you think about comes about. So 2022 is riddled with problems and issues? If we speak of and focus on these “bad” things, all we end up doing is manifesting that bad energy of the present into the future. We don’t want to do that! Philippians 4:8 NIV version says “Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
Even God has warned us to be positive with every single thought as Paul tells us WHAT TO FOCUS ON.
So keep your mind on the positives of every situation!
Identify
You must arrest yourself when you catch yourself having negative attitude or saying a negative thing. Grab your journal and open to a blank page. Write at the top - “My Top 5 Pity Party Thoughts” and then, you guessed it…list your top 5 negative daily thoughts with space between them so you can write another statement below it. Here is an example list that may or may not be how I’ve written my own journal entry…
Good luck and miracles happen for everyone but me.
If I don’t produce some results, they’ll think i’m a fraud.
God left me on my own with no help.
And if I went on, you’d know for sure it was me so i’ll stop there! After your top 5, REFRAME your negative thought into a positive one beneath each. After you’ve done that, HIGHLIGHT the positive rebuttal. FOCUS AND THINK ON THESE THINGS…as instructed in your Bible.
Affirmation
I only think on things that will prosper me and my family.
