I recently pondered on my emotional state, reactions and feelings of just about everything and what seemed to impact me the most. Whether its due to hormonal imbalance,(ahem peri-menopause) age, lifestyle changes or just a lack of the most fun things I often reminisce, I seem to find my thoughts and feelings quite disheveled and sometimes completely susceptible to the outside world. I have read, "Change the way you think and you change your life." In a sense I agree very much with this statement. The Bible seems to endorse this urging true followers of Christ not only to follow his commandments but to think on things that are praiseworthy and true (Philippians 4:8) and to walk and live according to the Spirit of God (Galatians 5:16). The Spirit of God brings assurance and peace that does not adapt to the outside world but remains in its purest form despite all around us. The mind then is the center, the battleground in between flesh and spirit and will act according to what its being fed. So whether its daily affirmations, positive thinking or more importantly the Spirit of God, if this becomes our constant source for our minds, then feelings, emotions and our deepest thoughts will be healthier stronger and more at peace, giving us that spiritual balance we all need.
