Faith Virtue 2: Perpetually Renew Your Mind
Guiding Scripture:
Romans 12:2 NIV | Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—His good, pleasing, and perfect will.
Coaching Integration:
Renewing your mind is a lifelong process that looks different in each season. Everything starts within you, especially the faulty thinking that has been ingrained in your mind over the course of your life. Your thoughts become your habits. Your mentality impacts your health and energy. Your mind is your greatest asset and it is why during coaching we focus on Joyfully Rewiring your mind to ignite continual internal transformation.
Application:
Mindful Exercise - choose one dominant negative thought that has developed into an unhealthy habit to focus on over the next month or so. Write down what triggers that thought and the behavior that follows it. With increased mindfulness you can consciously swap out the negative thought for a positive one and shift your default response to help you renew this part of your mind.
Joy Gem: Contact a trusted confidante for support and accountability as you embark on the Mindful Exercise. This will help you feel a sense of relief that you are not carrying the weight of change entirely on your shoulders and can increase your chances of staying motivated. Please trust the process, regression happens but you have to resolve to keep going and give yourself grace.
