How to overcome wrong thinking
Overcoming wrong thinking starts with awareness and grows through intention action. Here’s a thoughtful guide to uses for personal reflection and growth.
We all struggle with negative or distorted thoughts- feelings of not being enough, fears of failure, guilt, or shame from past mistakes. But the good news is: your mind can be renewed. Here’s how to begin that transformation.
Recognize the lie
Pay attention to the thoughts that tear you down. Ask yourself:
Is this true?
Is this kind?
Is it helping me grow or keeping me stuck?
Wrong thinking often disguises itself as truth. Shine a light on it.
Replace it with truth!
For every lie you identify, find a truth to replace it.
Lie: I’ll never get it right
Truth: Im learning and growing every day. I am changing and getting better at in and this will be a thing of the past that will no longer keep me bound.
Lie: I am worthless because of my past mistakes, behaviors, or convictions
Truth: I have value and purpose and I have asked for forgiveness and I believe that because I am not my own, He has forgiven me.
Scripture, affirmations, or wise words from mentors can help fill your mind with truth.
Speak Life over yourself
Words are powerful. Speak positively- even when you don’t feel it yet.
I am healing
I am not my past. I will not allow my past to dictate who I become.
I am walking in purpose.
Your brain listens when you talk.
Surround yourself with upliftment
Your environment influences your thinking. Fill your space with encouraging people, faith, music, books, or messages that build your mindset.
Pray or Meditate
Invite God into your thought life. Say Lord help me see myself the way that you see me. Inner peace often begins with spiritual enlightenment
Practice Patience and Persistence
Changing your thinking takes time. Be gentle with yourself. When old thoughts return. Don’t give up- just start again
You are not a prisoner of your thoughts . You are the gatekeeper.
Start today by choosing what you allow to live in your mind.
