When you try and achieve your dreams or goals, do you get stuck in a fear or anxiety spiral?
Do you feel like others are against you or your dreams? You can't do what you're called to because nobody believes in you.
Do you question your purpose with "Can I really do this?"
Today is for you if:
The Second Law of Thermodynamics says everything goes from a state of order to disorder.
Think cleaning your house or decluttering. It's clean one minute, and the next month, week or next day, it's back to the way it was.
We must discipline our mindset, or we'll go right back to the messy mind we had before.
Discipline means to train. We are training our mindset to serve us and keep our imagination working for us instead of reverting to working against us…again.
Here are three ways to discipline your mindset:
1. Create habits that support your mindset
It's any habit that keeps your mind in a state of order instead of reverting to a state of disorder…again.
We need to support our thoughts so we can become and do who God's called us to do and be.
2. Watch Your Inputs
We're like sponges. We soak up all the inputs around us.
"We become like what we think about most." – Earl Nightingale
Everything we do, see or hear and the people we hang out with are inputs feeding our imaginations.
Feed yourself the inputs that will support your imagination to work for you instead of against you.
3. Choose Life
Just because a thought comes doesn't mean you have to keep it.
Deuteronomy 30:19 NIV
…I have set before you life and death, blessings and curses. Now choose life…
We Think > We Feel > We Choose – Dr. Caroline Leaf
Our thoughts are a direct link to the choices we make.
We must continually examine our thoughts to ensure they will lead us to make choices…most of the time.
Examine your thoughts.
Are they true?
Are they helpful?
Are they kind?
Discipline your thought life so you can make the right choices…choices that bring you life!
I was a bird in a cage with the door open but was too afraid to fly out…for decades.
When I finally got this final lesson that God taught me in the Live Fearlessly Free system, I could get my imagination working for me and fly out of the cage into my bigger, brighter future.
You have a call and a purpose. But if fear is still stopping you…
I've created something special just for you…
It's called the Courageous Club.
So check out this episode and the next few to see if Courageous Club is that missing piece you need to finally stop hiding, show up fully yourself and fulfill your God-given purpose.
In the meantime, ask yourself, "am I ready to fly free out of my cage?"
