This Week in the Rhema "Christian Yoga" Weekly...Whether you are aware of it or not, there is no one in your life who has a more influential voice than... you.
It's not your spouse, a parent, a child or a friend. It's you. It's the stories you tell yourself about these people or what they did, the stories you tell yourself about the way you look, the way you feel, and so much more. No one talks to yourself more often than you do - what sort of stories will you tell yourself? Often, what you tell yourself is also what you meditate on, in either worry, happiness, doubt, or something else. You are in a constant, unending conversation with yourself. You are talking all the time, and telling yourself stories about everything around you. The stories you tell yourself all come from interpreting, perceiving and analyzing everything you see, feel and here - the external stimulates all around you. How are you perceiving things? What lens are you perceiving things with? What stories are you telling yourself? Speak life over yourself. Dare to believe that life is good, that you are good, and that God loves you. It can take courage to believe that people like you, that you are attractive, and that you add a lot to the groups you belong to. That courage is worth it though, because your self-talk can change your self-esteem, your self-image, and your life! God says you are amazing, and he knows you better than you know yourself. Why don't you join him?

This Week in the Rhema "Christian Yoga" Weekly...To many people in the world today, "depth" and "wisdom" look a gloomy, pessimistic perspective on the world and life around us. The idea is that this is a hard way to live, but that the truly wise are courageous enough to live this way because they are deciding to see the world for the way it really is - ugly, hopeless and unfair. True wisdom, depth and courage comes from choosing to see the beauty of the world, despite any levels of darkness. To decide to have a happy disposition and a joyful attitude despite circumstances shows real depth and quality of character, because it is often harder to be joyful and happy in the world. It is easier to be unhappy and cynical, but the unhappy and cynical are choosing the easy way out. What do you think? The chronically unhappy almost always blame other people for their unhappiness. The ironic problem here is that blaming these other people ensures that they will remain unhappy. Those who take responsibility for their unhappiness, despite the role others have played in their lives, become empowered to enjoy a life of happiness. Do you surround yourself with others who reinforce your ideas that others make you unhappy? That these other people are responsible for your unhappiness? Whether these people are close friends, parents or psychotherapists, they are not helping, they are hurting. It's a choice. Blame others for your unhappiness, or get happy. Which will you chose? Let us know what you think! |
