Sometimes you must say, “No, that’s not true!”

Pin those thoughts to the wall and tell them you are done with listening to them.

That is what it takes sometimes when a discouraging thought is becoming a mindset that you don’t want. You have worked it through from every angle and you don’t believe it, but when you are feeling low then it is back with its condemning voice. 

At times I find myself weighed down by a thought as I keep mulling it over - a mistake I made in the past or some reason why certain people may misunderstand me. This mulling makes me shrink back or stops me from making progress until I say loudly, “Now that is enough!”

 Right then I remember that the thought is simply not true, and I decide not to allow it into my living space again.

I slam the door and already I feel lighter, I can see more clearly - my energy returns.
