ABOUT THIS EPISODE:
Welcome back to my praises faith friends. Thank you so much for joining me today as we dive down deeper into the Freedom Series with the Thrive Method, Step 1.
Today we are exploring the T, which stands for Thoughts in the T.H.R.I.V.E. Method. Once I learned how to find freedom to thrive through forgiveness, once I learn how to find freedom to thrive in my faith, and once I learned how to find freedom to thrive in my health, my life began to change for the better, and I will never go back to that old life. See, today I am so free, I have so much joy and confidence in who God has designed me to be, although I may still struggle sometimes, I'm grateful, I'm grateful for my story, I'm grateful for my experiences, I'm grateful because what God has planned for me in my life, he is going to perfect it until the end.

SHOWNOTES:
•  I remember six and a half years ago when I believed that the only way for me to find freedom to thrive in my own life was to pretend like I was happy, I wanted to always achieve more. I love God and I serve God, and if I just did those things, all would be well. (2:09)
• I was 12 years old when I started dieting. Crazy. Why can't I get this weight off? What's wrong with me? Questions like, How am I going to get past the feelings of shame, unforgiveness, bitterness and anger towards my abusers and myself... Why don't you let it happen? Blaming myself, I have a little girl on the inside, how do I forgive her? And then I would ask, Is this just the way my life is going to be? (4:01)
•   We must arrest thoughts that keeps us stuck and test our limiting beliefs against what God says about who we are, what God says about what we can do, what God says about who we can be in our lives. See, the Bible says that as a man think it or a woman, so is he. In Proverbs 23-7, one of the most amazing gifts God has given us is our mind, our mind, the ability to think, to learn, to choose and to reason, our thoughts become a reflection of who we really are. (6:27)
•  This is why understanding how to mind our mind is such an important first step in this method. Because when we have stinking thinking is what I like to call it, meaning, our thoughts are not aligning what God has said about us in His word and our thoughts. They keep us paralyzed by the limiting beliefs that circle around in our heads, we find ourselves in cycles of defeat, we find ourselves questioning our identity, we find ourselves short changing the gifts and talents that God has given each of us. And that we can show up and impact our world around us. (7:55)
