The Mindful Life

Direct your thoughts before they direct you.
Many of us consider our thoughts and feelings as something that happen to us, as if we have no control over our thoughts. But that’s not true! You have control over your thoughts—and your thoughts have power. Colossians 3:2 directs you to “Set your mind on things above, not on earthly things.” Before your thoughts dominate you with fear, anxiety, worry, dread, shame, or insecurity, take stock of what you’re thinking about. Direct your thoughts before they direct you.

Homework
