What kind of diet is your mind on these days?
We are often very careful about what we feed our bodies, counting calories and checking ingredients. But how often do we check the nutritional value of what we feed our minds? It is a simple principle: what consumes your thoughts will ultimately control your emotions. If you feed your mind on junk—fear, negativity, and resentment—your emotional health will suffer the consequences.
In this practical video, “Mind and Emotions,” we talk about the discipline of mental stewardship. You have more control over your thoughts than you might think. Just as you choose nutritious food for physical health, you must choose truth, beauty, and scripture for spiritual stability.
In this recipe for a healthy mind, we discuss:
- The Thought-Emotion Connection: Understanding that your feelings are often trailing indicators of what you have been thinking about.
- Nutritious Mental Food: Identifying the specific kinds of “soul food” (like Scripture and gratitude) that build resilience.
- Taking Control: Practical steps to evict negative thoughts and replace them with God’s truth.
My friend, you don’t have to be a victim of your own runaway thoughts. Join me as we learn how to set a table of good things for our minds to feast upon.
