Does Your mindset affects your wellbeing?

 Your mindset affects your wellbeing

During this unusual time in history, choosing the way you think and feel is crucial to maintaining a healthy mind, body and spirit. Limit the amount of time you listen to and read the news. Choose 1-2 times per day when you check in to see if there are any changes that affect you or your family so you can know what actions to take. Take a few moments to process this information to know what next steps to take in a calm, peaceful manner, but do not internalize it as this leads to feelings of overwhelm.  During the rest of the day dwell in a state of peace and joy by using the above techniques.


By continuously practicing positive mind-talk, you will soon see a 
major shift in the way you think and feel.

"The Assurances Of Quietness"

  “. . . in quietness and trust is your strength. . .”  (Isaiah 30:15)

 

When we are extremely busy with all of life’s activities, we may miss opportunities to experience the blessings that come from quietness.  The practice of quietness can be a source of strength and encouragement in the midst of life’s difficulties.  True quietness allows us time to center ourselves, to offer up our burdens to God, and to gain hope and strength for the struggles ahead of us.  One hymn writer put it this way, “Blessed quietness, holy quietness – What assurance in my soul!  On the stormy sea, He speaks peace to me – How the billows cease to roll!” (Manie Ferguson).  

As we approach the end of the year, may we have an opportunity to know the strength and peace that comes from quietness and trust.

Think of the possibilities : When our eyes are open, the possibilities are endless.

 

“I will stand at my watch. . .”  (Habakkuk 2:1)

Have you noticed that if you are expecting good news, you can hardly wait to receive it, but if you are expecting bad news, you may try to avoid or postpone it?  When the bad news seems to be multiplying, we might be tempted to move from day to day without expectation, simply trying to survive.  While this may be a powerful #temptation, given our current circumstances, it has never been more important to be “watchful.”  Think of the #possibilities.  By keeping our eyes open, perhaps we will notice something small that we have never seen before.  Or perhaps we will observe something familiar that we had long forgotten.  Or perhaps we will see someone hurting to whom we could offer assistance.  When our eyes are open, the possibilities are endless. 

 Let’s walk through life with #expectation and hope.

Strengthen Yourself And Those Around You

 

“Strengthen the feeble hands, steady the knees that give way.”  (Isaiah 35:3)

Our journey through this uncharted territory continues.  Sometimes it seems as if the days and weeks melt into each other and that there is no relief in sight.  This is when we need to remember to strengthen ourselves and those around us.  Like us, our fellow travelers have been on a difficult journey through unknown terrain.  By giving support to others in whatever way we can, we are helping them, as well as ourselves, along the way to our ultimate destination.  With renewed focus, we look to God for the strength and steadiness to complete our journey together. 

Let’s prayerfully continue to help each other towards this end.

Be Strong And Courageous.

 “Here is the world. Beautiful and terrible things will happen. Don't be afraid.” Frederick Buechner

“Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go." Joshua 1:9 NIV

Most of the time true courage is not expressed through news worthy actions or extraordinary feats.  Anne Radmacher reminds us that “Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying 'I will try again tomorrow.'  The type of courage that moves the world forward is most often seen in the small, faithful choices we make every day when we fulfil our responsibilities, when we do the right thing, when we care for the needs of those around us, or when we love unconditionally.  We have it in us, and we act on it constantly.  On some days, however, when the rain turns into a downpour and clouds obscure our perspectives, it is helpful to be reminded: 

Don’t be afraid. 

You have it in you and you’re not alone in this journey. Even if this moment’s act of courage is to just put one foot in front of the other, be strong and hopeful. God’s presence can be real and God’s grace is renewed every morning.  For we live one day at a time and we don’t have to tackle all tasks at once. Scary and challenging as today’s troubles may be, the sum of our faithful choices will carry us through to a new and hope-filled day.    

Be strong and courageous.

Spiritual vs Physical- Which is More Important?

The human body is two in one. Two bodies, both a physical and a spiritual, make up one body. Each individual body needs to be fed to survive. Each has its own kind of food and nutrients, but they both need each other to survive because they are one. Jesus said, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. (Matthew 4:4) They both rely heavily on each other.

The physical body is your responsibility, and it's your obligation to ensure that it is well taken care of. The spiritual body is God's responsibility, and it's His obligation to ensure that it is well taken care of.

When the physical body is hungry, it craves for natural food. Even if you provide spiritual food, it will last for only a while and then you must eat, or else you will die. However, because the spiritual body needs the physical body to operate on earth, you have to take care of it with diligence. In others words, feed it with what it needs, not what it wants.

Concerning the spiritual body, it also craves for food when it is hungry. This is God's responsibility. That's why He provided His Word. His Word is His food--the spiritual body. The only reason why you are told to read and study the Word is because the spirit lives in you. Once your spirit is well fed and taken care of, it will be revealed through the physical body.

Can a hallow body dwell in the same space as an unhallowed body? Not a chance. Can the natural body survive without spiritual food? Not very long. Keep in mind that the spiritual is the Holy Spirit, which is God Himself. All you have to do is feed God His food and watch what happens to your illness or disease. They cannot dwell in the same space as God. One has to go. Just in case you didn't know, you are healed when you eat spiritual food.

Affirmation; Regularly Speak to Yourself Words That Resonate With Your Desire

Regularly speak to yourself words that resonate with your desire (of 
becoming successful) as if you have already become successful. 

Declare, assert, emphasize, and affirm positive confessions about 
yourself at least 15 times daily until it becomes registered in your 
subconscious mind. 

Statements like
“I shall succeed in this assignment.” 
“I am the next millionaire the world is waiting for.”
“My solutions are the best!” 
“I am destined for greatness!”

Such affirmative statements are programming your mind for success. 
Over time, your mind and soul will become re-wired, looped, and 
activated for success beyond your imagination.
