HERE IS A GREAT TEST AS TO WHETHER AND HOW WE SHOULD THINK ABOUT SOMETHING...

The thoughts you keep in a loop determine the direction of your life. — Steven Furtick

It would be great if our thoughts were all good.

But many of them are negative and toxic.

Think about things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, admirable, excellent, and worthy of praise.

? TRUE: Focus on what is authentic, real, and lines up with our values.

? NOBLE: Our thoughts should be royal and regal. Not in an arrogant way but in not allowing ourselves to think in an unkind or repulsive manner.

? RIGHT: Thinking right thoughts means allowing accuracy and appropriateness to guide us.

? PURE: Choose to think on ethical, good, upright, and honest things.

? LOVELY: To think lovely thoughts means to see the beautiful and stunning in life and allow our minds to think upon those things.

? ADMIRABLE: Thoughts that are credible and distinguished and allow us to live in such a way that is commendable.

? EXCELLENT: Excellent thoughts lead us to live excellent lives.

? PRAISEWORTHY: What thoughts are worthy of praise?

We will never be able to adjust every negative thought that approaches our awareness, but we can certainly try to free our minds from toxic thinking…one thought at time.

What are some of your favorite ways to keep a healthy thought life?
