From my daily e-devotional:



Today's thought is:



We have the power to direct our minds to replace the feelings of being upset, depressed, and fearful with the feeling of inner peace.
--Gerald G. Jampolsky


Learning to identify negative thoughts is a powerful way to begin changing our nega tivebehavior.Wealwaysthinkbeforeweact,evenifthethinkinghasbecomeautomatic.FONTP

As we become committed to being aware of negative thoughts, we can stop, take a deep breath, and repeat a positive affirmation. Practicing this process will actually change the way we feel about ourselves. By thinking about positive things, we can change how we feel about a situation and about ourselves, too. Now, life has more promise, more joy.


Today let me have the courage to change the way I think.
