What you think about yourself and say to and about yourself will determine how your day, week, month, year, and life go.

It is crucial to think before you speak. When you open your mouth and say things about yourself or anyone else, you are opening the door for Satan to step in and create chaos in your world. If you have found yourself thinking negative thoughts and saying negative words, it is imperative to adopt a positive mindset practice.

Don't Speak Negative Things About Yourself

It is essential to think before you speak because what you say can be used to take advantage of you. Satan is waiting for every opportunity to distract you and pull you away from your foundation in Christ. He lurks about, waiting to convince you that your identity is what you think and say about yourself, not what your identity in Christ says about you.

How to implement a positive mindset practice to develop the mindset of Christ.

 

My suggestion is to adopt the practice of my 7 Cs which are:

1. Catch the negative thoughts before you speak them out loud.
2. Challenge the negative thoughts. Are they realistic? Would Jesus think them about you? Would a friend or loved one think that way about you?
3. Confess the lack of belief, negative thoughts, negative emotions, and any negative phrases you say and ask for forgiveness.
4. Collaborate with the Holy Spirit and ask Him to give you strength, knowledge, and wisdom to change your thoughts and to increase your faith in Christ.
5. Change your thoughts and the words you speak. This takes daily practice.
6. Control - as you commit to this positive mindset practice and actively do it daily, you will have more control over your thoughts, emotions, and the words you speak.
7. Confidence will become second nature as the negative thoughts decrease and you focus on your belief in Christ as your Savior and what is possible through Him.

If you do not actively change your thoughts and avoid speaking negative words out loud, they may become your reality. Words are powerful. Choose them wisely so as to manifest the life Jesus has for you, not the things of the world. You, with the help of the Holy Spirit, can change your life, one thought and one word at a time. Get to it!
