Would you describe yourself as a “glass half empty” thinker?
Or perhaps you’ve taken one of those personality quizzes and your results always come out as “melancholic”?
And then you think to yourself, “I guess I’m doomed. I can never change. See, it’s just who I am.”
Ask me how I know.
Yes, I used to feel this way too.
Until I began to learn that I did not have to be governed by my thoughts.
Whether I realized it or not, those thoughts were what my brain presented to me (either from the inner design to protect myself from wasting energy and keep me safe, or from the enemy who sometimes comes knocking with fearful thoughts).
And, I had a choice in whether or not I wanted to continue to think that way.
Because it’s our THOUGHTS that will always create our FEELINGS.
So, if I wanted to start FEELING differently about my life I was going to have to start THINKING some different thoughts.
Renewing our minds with God’s truth is the way we actually CHANGE our personality!
The reason I know this is true is because I have experienced this in MY OWN LIFE!!
Sure, there are times when the thoughts of the enemy still fly over my head, but just like we cannot stop the birds from flying over our head we don’t have to allow them to make a nest in our hair!
Renewing our minds also takes effort and time.
You did not form your beliefs overnight and you cannot eradicate them overnight either.
Romans 10:17 says that FAITH comes by HEARING AND HEARING.
But, little by little, when you keep pouring in the water of the Word, your thoughts, emotions, and outlook will begin to change!
The Word of God is SO POWERFUL that eventually you will see a certain area of your life in a way you only dreamed of!
And then maybe you move on to another area that you’d like to improve.
And then when negative thoughts try to present themselves (and believe me they will always come around to challenge you) you will begin to notice them faster and faster until eventually you catch them at the instant they try and you take them captive even before the matching negative emotion is released from the chemical center in your brain.
And then you will realize how powerfully resilient you have become. It’s almost like you are a completely different person! But actually, you’ve grown more into who God always intended you to be!
Are you ready to change how you’ve been thinking? Are you ready for your default thought life to be filled with the PEACE of God’s truth about YOU and YOUR BRIGHT FUTURE? I’d love to be YOUR COACH! Reach out today and let’s set up a time to chat. ~Be Blessed, Jenny xoxo
