Discouragement... It comes to all of us. Sometimes as a whisper, sometimes its a roar. Did you know you can rise above that voice & flip the switch? This week on the podcast I shared some simple ways I combat discouragement:
I fight back by encouraging others. I release what I need. I choose 3 people I can bless in someway by email, text etc. I take the focus off my circumstances & struggles and focus on how I can uplift others.
I turn the thought inside out... For example If I'm thinking, "Man this isn't working out", then I'll switch that to "This is going to work out great." (click to tweet)
I go back to my why, my peace, and my power over my thoughts, feelings, perspective and words.
I make sure to have a narrow filter on music, podcast, influences etc.
I have been known to put these on repeat on one of "those" days:
Friends we all have bad days, moments, and discouragement hits, but we don't have to let it settle in. I speak hope and peace over your hearts, homes & every situation today!
I would love to hear how you kick discouragement in the face, share below!
