COMMITTEE IN OUR HEADS

-

I don’t know about you but I have a committee in my head and it is not my friend. It never has been and never will be! It will try and tell me all kinds of horrible, negative stuff about myself and others. It will bombard me with tortuous shaming negative crapola. I try to never listen to it or especially reason with it. It always lies. The committee gets its power from all the negative things that I have ever heard in my life about myself, or others, and the enemy uses it to try to torture me. I know now I must stop these lies in their tracks and change my self-talk immediately. I am okay right this minute and me and the Lord can do this together one second at a time. I can be successful! I can love with His love. I can be all He wants me to be, one second at a time with His power. Me and God can do this together! I am okay right now, because He is making me okay, one second at a time. RIGHT THIS SECOND I AM OKAY! Whatever it takes change the self talk.

I do not let that committee define me anymore. I let it for so much of my life but I choose not to go there anymore. When people would tell me to take every thought captive to the obedience of Christ or when I would read that in the bible I would get so frustrated and shamed. It was too big for me and it seemed like a giant monster. But, I learned that I can do it one at a time, one second at a time, one lie at a time and then it was much more manageable. I just started to say "No" one second at a time, I can do this. I don't wrestle with the thought that the committee might be right. No, I don't give that lie any place in my head anymore. No matter what I have done or not done! No Matter What! The lies will never help me to do better. Never! I stop the crazy, shaming crapola that tries to get me in my head and I fall back into Jesus where I belong! He will help me to make it when I just turn off that negative committee and change those thoughts one at a time to positive truth. Me and the Lord can do this together one second at a time.

No matter what any of us struggle with we can tell ourselves the positive-opposite and push through it, holding His hands one second at a time.

I know it works! I was the queen of living in the negative obsessive committee in my head and beating myself up for it mercilessly. That is not what God wanted for me. I know that now. He wants better than that for all of us! Remember to hold up that stop sign! Just stop and change it! One at a time with Him you can do it. And you can have His peace while you do it. Don’t give it any more place in your life!

My life got so much better when I quit reasoning with the committee in my head. Don't waste anymore of your life reasoning with lies and distortions. Just stop and change it. Don't question if what is going on in your head might be right. Obsession is never profitable or helpful. It is only going to be negative. Our heads are not our friends. No more reasoning with What Ifs. Be free! Stop reasoning with insanity and be free!

REGRETS

-
We all seem to have some things that we have done or neglected to do; failures that have caused regrets. It is what we do with those regrets in our minds that either causes us to forgive ourselves and move on, or beat ourselves up and never let ourselves off-the-hook. If we allow those regrets and failures to run rampant in our minds, over and over it can cause hopelessness, depression, anxiety and despair, or worse. Doing so creates a groove in our minds of negativity that we default back to whenever anything similar comes up to remind us of it. We let the negative thoughts about our failures or regrets play in our heads once again causing negativity and torment. A lot of times we get so used to doing this, that we don’t even realize we are doing it anymore, if we ever did! The answer is to make a new groove in our minds, so that our default will not take us back to our failures anymore. (Of course, the first thing that is needed is to ask God to forgive us for partnering with li

FINDING WORTH

-
For a lot of my life i had nothing to give. I might do some nice, caring things for others but I couldn't give me. I had a big empty hole inside and I spent most of my waking hours trying to get someone to fill it up, or thinking about a time when someone did say or do something to fill me up. I planned in my head how I would get what I needed in the future. I didn't do all of this on purpose of course. I wanted to love others and give love like Jesus wanted me to but mostly I just needed, and I would hate myself for it. More and more I was hating myself. I knew I had a problem but I didn't know what it was or how to make it better. I carried shame with me. I wasn't good enough, smart enough or pretty enough and I wanted to be anyone else but me. When I would try and go out to love others or give to others, the big hole inside of me was looking around at everyone else asking, "Will anyone out there tell me I am okay?" "Will anyone say I am pretty or me

BOUNDARIES

I write and talk a lot about the committee in our heads-and not listening to it, and changing our self-talk, which are both extremely important, but the other day I was talking to an old friend about some struggles I was having, and she said something that caused me to ponder an important addition to my above sentence. She said, “When you keep hearing inside, “something is not right here, something is not right here,” it is a good idea to take notice and pay attention to what is going on.” Since then, I have been thinking about this statement and I realized that it is a missing puzzle piece for me. I needed to take notice of this because I struggle with putting up with too much, and not knowing when enough is enough. I have a tendency to put up with more than I should in situations, relationships, jobs etc. I guess it is residue from the physical, emotional and mental abuse I have lived through. ACTION I realized that sometimes we need to take action and stand up for ourselv
