Read: PHILIPPIANS 4:4–9
Meditation verse:
“Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.” (Philippians 4:8)
Here are more ways to guarantee your emotional and mental wellbeing:
o Be very intentional about what you focus on. It is so easy to focus on what you have lost, times you have failed, whose fault it is and why it happened. The human brain prefers to focus on what could go wrong.
o Constantly audit your focus. Ask yourself ‘why am I feeling this way?’ What am I focusing on? Then change your focus if you need to. Spend your time on things that build your confidence rather than on what diminishes it.
o Regulate the influence of your external forces on your mental health. Ask yourself, ‘what is that thing in the outside world that when I see, reduces my self-confidence and sense of self-worth?’ It may be the presence of certain people or the social media handles of some individuals, which portray them as being perfect. Distance yourself from whatever it is.
o Be the observer and controller of your life. A thermometer fluctuates up and down, depending on the temperature of the environment, whilst a thermostat controls the temperature. Choose to be a thermostat.
o Figure out what you are good at and develop yourself to become amazing at it. Stop focusing on fixing your weaknesses. It is a losing strategy for your mental wellbeing.
o Lastly, get out of the goal post of your life and play in the midfield. Action breeds confidence. Inaction breeds fear.
