All to often we make plans to accomplish certain goals, to break bad habits, to start living a healthier life-style or strive to be that awesome go-getter that we've envisioned ourselves to be .I don't know about you, but sometimes I feel like I am just stuck in mud. I find myself getting all pepped up to do something and set out to make the first steps to accomplish my goals and I just get stuck. Stuck in negative thinking. Stuck in convincing myself that I don't have enough time or the right resources. Once that negative thinking starts to set in, my body begins to respond to it. I'm all of a sudden too tired to do anything and unmotivated about life. I can't think straight and my sleeping begins to go haywire. My attitude stinks and my overall quality of life is affected.What I have come to understand is that during these times I have to find a way to get unstuck, and to get unstuck quick! The longer you get stuck in a negative mindset the harder it is to recover. Reading the bible is one sure way to change your thinking. Proverbs 23:7 says, " For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he...". We must change our thinking and begin focusing on all that is right rather than everything that is or could be wrong. Make the decision to get and stay unstuck. We must call on God during our times of uncertainty and frustrations. We can ask God to guide us in the right direction but it is up to us to move forward and to not get "stuck" in negative thinking and past disappointments.
Let's all make the decision today to get unstuck from the past and negative thinking and focus on the present and moving forward.
The year of Forward Progress!!
Father, today I choose to focus on all the things that are going right in my life. When I feel like my mind is headed towards negative thinking, I ask that you will cause my thoughts to be agreeable to your will. I thank you for your continuous guidance, in Jesus name I pray, amen.
