Wellness Wednesday: The Power of the Mind

                     
 Hi Folks!

Corrine here. I wanted to check in with what I hope to be short reoccurring posts on wellness each Wednesday.  Today I've been reflecting on the power of the mind and tongue. Ironically, my daily devotion from Iyanla Vanzant's book Acts of Faith was over speaking with a conscious tongue.

I try to be intentional about saying what I mean, and meaning what I say. But I often have to catch myself from negative self talk. Do you? Have you ever caught yourself negating a compliment that someone gave you? Or coming down on yourself, how you look? I was in a training session and made two separate statements about something I wish I didn't do. The trainer nicely pointed out my pattern and it got me thinking.  Am I a Negative Nancy? Do my thoughts need a little love?

There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.
(Prov 12:18)

My challenge to you today is to take notice of what negative thoughts you have. Embrace a spirit of thankfulness and love. Especially when it comes to thoughts about your self. 

Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body.(Prov 16:24)

I will also try to have a journaling assignment for those of you who like to write your thoughts down. Or maybe you have a friend or counselor that you can chat with about this weeks topic! Leave a comment with other Wellness Wednesday Topics you'd like us to reflect on.
