“You are what you think”

For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. Proverbs 23:7 AMPC

Verse Reflections:  Today, I am going to think that I am healthy, I am going to know that I am on the journey to become healthy.  Today I am going to be confident in God’s grace and the changes He is making in me.  I am going to be confident in the omnipotent power of God.  I am going to think… no, I am going to know that I am a changed person.  If I know that I am different then I am different.  If I know I can eat healthy, then I will eat healthy.  If I know I can say no, then I will say no.  If I know I can choose the right foods, then I will choose the right foods.  If I know I can stop this vicious cycle then I will stop this cycle.  If I know I can go to a party and eat healthy, then I will go to the party and eat healthy.  If I know I can stop eating three times the normal serving, then I can reduce my serving to a normal, healthy serving size.

I am going to think differently in my heart.  I am going to know differently in my heart.  I am going to be one of the skinny women.  I am going to think like a skinny woman and not rebel against that.  I am doing to  think like a healthy person.  I am going to be a healthy person.  We can “think” 4,000 words a minute which is 10 times our verbal speech.  This verse reminds us how important it is that we send ourselves positive thoughts.  When we look in the mirror, we need to compliment ourselves.  When we want to criticize ourselves we need to change that criticism to positive thoughts.  We are on the road to healthy living no matter what.  “I am beautiful and God is changing me, giving me a healthy life.”

Prayer:  Father, I love this.  I have bad habits of criticizing myself when I look in the mirror.  God, take my mind and allow me to worship You by complimenting me.  I know that thinking positive thoughts are so important.  God, I am going to work with You today to change the negative thoughts that I allow myself.  I am beautiful.  I am successful in eating healthy more than I am unsuccessful and yet I chastise myself for every small indiscretion.  Why?  God I think the world teaches us this with every ad.  I think the world teaches us this by making so many diets that cause us to deny ourselves.  And when we indulge we feel guilty.  God teach me to give myself positive reinforcement.  If I take this 4,000 words a minute… in ten minutes I can “think” 40,000 positive words.  Thank You for this simple reminder.  We are going to work together to think and know that we are going to choose the healthy road.  We are going eat healthy foods and live a long, healthy life.  I love You.
