How to Kill Thought Cancer: Mind Change Monday Dec 11, 2023

Show notes

It's Mind Change Monday!
Cancer often starts with one cell mutation. If the body fails to detect and eliminate the mutated cell, then it can grow from that single cell into a disease that can kill us. Thoughts work the same way. In this episode, we discuss the importance of taking our thoughts captive, interpersonal neurobiology and limbic resonance, and a method for you to perform self-brain surgery to prevent these thought cancers from wrecking your life.
Scripture: II Corinthians 10:5, Philippians 4:6-8

Self-Brain Surgery Saturday: Think About It Dec 09, 2023

Show notes

It's Self-Brain Surgery Saturday!
You have an incredible gift: you can choose to think about what you think about. The question is, what will you do with that gift?
In this episode, we learn the self-brain surgery of calming our minds and learning to direct the show of what happens in our thought life. You get this right, and you'll become healthier, feel better, and be happier. If you don't, you'll bounce around from circumstance to circumstance, and they will lead you into a progressively more cynical and negative life. The good news is, it's so easy to learn how to change that program into one that blesses you and others, and leads you to hope.
