Recently, I awoke from a disturbing dream which portrayed a family murdered in their home. I wondered what was the source of such trauma, such a violent display from my subconscious mind. And quickly, my husband asked me if I had the television playing while I was asleep. Sometimes we don’t realize that when you allow negative images to play over and over in your mind, they will saturate the deeper crevices of your thoughts. When you let “garbage in, garbage will come out”. Now, apply this to the concept of positivity versus negativity. If you consistently allow negative thoughts to enter your mind instead of seeking and only allowing positive thoughts to replay and reaffirm the way you feel about yourself, your life, your situation, then you will feel negative as opposed to positive about those things. You control your output by controlling your input!! Take a step towards better mental health today by changing your perspective.
Above all else, guard your heart (mind), for everything you do flows from it. -Proverbs 4:23
