Quantum Mind Change (Mind Change Monday)

It's Mind Change Monday!

We're continuing to learn a new way to pray and learn to use our minds to change our brains, and help us seek the abundance and peace Jesus promised us in John 10:10!

Quantum physics gives us two principles of how constantly looking at a situation can keep it stuck in that state, and the same is true in our lives. Learning to shift our viewpoint, relax, and trust God's promises can help us change our minds and begin to move forward.

Today, we take another look the ABIDE practice, take it one level deeper, and learn a self-brain surgery operation that will help us become healthier, feel better, and be happier in any area of our lives. Neuroscience and faith smash together hard in this one!

Remember the ABIDE prayer/meditation practice:
Level I (Hearing):
Approach
Breathe
Invite
Depend
Experience

Level II (Self-Brain Surgery Practice):
Assess
Believe
Incision
Deepen
Expect

When the Bad Thought Turns Out to Be True (Self-Brain Surgery Saturday)

Learning to Biopsy Our Thoughts is a Key to Healing

But sometimes, we biopsy those negative thoughts, and they turn out to be true. What then? Today’s dose of hope is learning what to do when your trauma, tragedy, or other massive thing has filled your head and heart with harmful thoughts, especially when the harmful thought is based on something true. 


Scripture: II Corinthians 10:5
