The Self-Brain Surgery™ Podcast with Dr. Lee Warren

When You Don't Know What to Do (Self-Brain Surgery Saturday)


Listen Later

It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!

Sometimes the wound is so fresh or so persistent that you don't have the energy or mental capability to even try to change your mind. You're overwhelmed and it's all just too fresh and heavy, and it doesn't feel possible to do anything but hurt.

If you're there, it's okay. Here's one little tool that will help you hold on until you heal enough to start seeing the light again, and the hope that is found in patience and waiting.

Here's what to do when you don't know what to do.

Remember the ABIDE prayer/meditation practice:
Level I (Hearing):
Approach
Breathe
Invite
Depend
Experience

Level II (Self-Brain Surgery Practice):
Assess
Believe
Incision
Deepen
Expect

Scripture: Psalm 34:18
