Is this meant for you?
You are in an abusive relationship….with negativity. It’s time to cut your ties and end this relationship of strife and insecurity – abuse. Each serving each other well (in your mind) but now it’s time to move on. You have allowed negativity to thrive & grow and, at times, it has made you feel “safe”, whether in your own mind full of fear and confusion or with your circle of influence (friends), who are most likely also in abusive relationships of their own with negativity.
Don’t stay in an abusive relationship because it’s comfortable or because it seems better than the unknown. The unknown is kinda scary, but it’s also exhilarating and exciting. Ending your relationship with negativity isn’t as daunting or hard as you might think. Take baby steps. Start by being aware of negative thoughts.
When a negative thought pops into your head, instantly apologize for that thought, then consciously tell it to leave and replace it with something completely opposite. For instance, you get a snarky thought about someone who annoys you; someone you no longer particularly like. Stop that thought, apologize mentally for it, then consciously think a positive thought or thank God for something – the sunshine, the rain, the wind, a good night’s sleep, whatever….the point is to intentionally apologize to God for having the thought, then thank Him for something in your life or create a positive thought to replace or counteract the negative one you dismissed. Do this consciously for as long as it takes to reduce the negatives from automatically popping into your head.
What’s around the corner for you? Until you end your relationship with negativity, you’ll never know.
What’cha gonna do?
PEACE,
