But be transformed by the renewing of your minds. Take your thoughts captive. Set your mind on things above. Scripture tells us we can and should take our thoughts captive. We have the ability to do so. It should be a daily practice of setting our minds. Do you take time daily to renew your mind to focus on the bigger perspective, to remember, to be thankful to rest your mind in Him? Try it and comment below if you do.

I’ve had this idea for awhile and I have been slowly working on writing about peace and worries. Studying scripture and deep diving into words and their meaning.

As I continue to work on the book I plan to post on this site and share what I am learning along the way.

This morning I was participating in a training and at the end the instructor began a breathing exercise. He stated often times your mind will wander but be kind and compassionate to yourself. And just like that the tears began to flow. I don’t know the last time I was kind and compassionate to my body.

There is so much power in our words. If you haven’t seen this please take 2 minutes to watch. I think this applies not only to what others say but even more so to the negative self talk we do.

Plants have feelings, just like people. So, what happens when you feed one plant with compliments and another with negative remarks? Watch how we got student...

Self Reducing Conversation does NOT include fixing it or siding with the enemy. This example always makes me laugh!

"Don't try to fix it. I just need you to listen." Every man has heard these words. And they are the law of the land. No matter what.
