The Instant “feel good”.
Who doesn’t love instant progress?
There are likely things you wish you could change in your relationships, so what is the likelihood of those actually happening? Well, if you’re in the mood for an instant “feel good” the odds are in your favor.
The path to experiencing an instant “feel good” happens when you change worlds, or realms if you will. Transporting from the land of despair into the land of hope is (believe it or not) a short trip.
You live in this physical world: your home; relationships and your current circumstances. Yes yes of course, but do you? Your inside world consists of your mind, your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs. That’s your real world. Your inside world can feel good and change in a nanosecond and isn’t subject to ANYTHING changing in the external.
Reclaim your power of choice
What will keep you stuck, suffering and feeling alone is an offense that leads to resentment and a hardened heart.
What will get you out is a renewed mind. When your inside world experiences a turnaround. Instead of white-washing your past, and just hoping for the best, we believe it’s an incredible idea to deal with your offenses.
When you hang on to an offense, you will likely reason your position. And when it feels and sounds reasonable you’ll just hold on to it. Not a good idea. Laying down the right to be offended sets you up for an instant feel good. And it is powerful. So are you ready to move towards a renewed mind?
You don’t have to let the troubles or failures of the past disqualify you for the INSTANT change.
But you have to take action - to be aware of your feelings, thoughts, beliefs, and values.
Five Benefits of a Renewed Mind
Your gifts show up
Your natural gifts and your ability to forgive, love unconditionally, and bless those around you will SHOW UP when you’re ready to take responsibility and choose the kingdom of peace, joy, and righteousness. This realization switches on all your senses and makes you feel alive!
You get to feel good
You can be the smartest person in the world but if you don’t have a handle on your feelings and thoughts and how they affect your behavior, it’s impossible to enjoy the rewards of close and connected relationships. You don’t have to live reactive to your moment, you can choose your favorite feelings at any given time.
You get to see what you have
Our lives are transformed when we decide to focus on gratefulness. As soon as you change your focus and renew your mind, You start to appreciate what’s around you and in you instead of being intimidated by lack or scarcity. When you trust that life is a gift, your future is bright and your faith is ignited.
You get to run free
No more feeling stuck in the ways others are treating you. Our lives get stuck and stagnant when we focus on offenses. That’s when we decide that life isn’t fair, and that’s a very slippery slope. Before long your future is doomed and you’re living in despair and defeat. But not you. You love freedom, so you align your thoughts, beliefs, and feelings to God’s promises.
You get to feel guilt-free
You are not in trouble and you are not disqualified. Whether you were put into this situation, or put yourself in this situation, you are part of an unfolding story, and the good news is, you are the author of this story. What you focus on determines how your story will unfold
Aim at the best thing you can think of: A happy future, laughing family, abundance, beauty in nature, and making allowance for one another’s faults.
Just as your father in heaven has forgiven you, you get to forgive others. That is your privilege and joy, and the wisest way to experience your instant “feel good”. Putting this in practice will result in more smiling, satisfying relationships, and sweet sleep.
