It may sound kinda dumb to you, but if you’re experiencing random, crazy and unexpected things in your life that you wish would just stop, please start with this! My sister Katie actually started an amazing accountability group on Facebook that helps get you to actually do what you say.

If you want to start a routine but have trouble sticking to it, or need help sticking to anything for that matter, I highly recommend joining this group! Click HERE to join the group!

Think about what you prioritize.

Now don’t get confuzed by this! I don’t mean like your family, friends, pets, etc… I mean what you ACTUALLY are prioritizing.

What I mean by that is, what is contently on your mind? What are you putting all of your focus on? Think about that and ask yourself: “is this making my life better, worse or just the same?” Whatever you have most of your energy on, is most likely what you’re going to get in life.

For example, if you’re always thinking about how you never have enough, you are prioritizing not having enough and chances are, you’re never going to have enough unless you change your thought and train yourself to think differently.

Just change your mind!

What I have been doing lately to get those negative thoughts out of my mind, is thinking about what I DO want in a positive way instead of what I don’t have and imagining how it would feel to actually have that. My mom recently told me to start practicing this and I have to say, it feels really good.

For example, I think a lot about how me and Erik need to find a new apartment. But after practicing this way of thinking I realized the way I think about it is negatively. Like “we need to move. How are we going to do that? It’s too expensive. We don’t have enough money for a 2 bedroom. How is this ever going to happen?”

Now instead of thinking about how it wont work, I now think about how it would feel to have our dream apartment, in our dream location, with more than enough money to pay for it. And I mean REALLY feel it. Feel every emotion.

The negative thoughts will only do more damage to the situation so try to catch yourself thinking about the negative form of something and change it to this technique every time!

There was a time in my life when God was my first priority. I thought of Him first. When There was an issue thrown my way, I would ask him for help first and trust that he has it covered. Lately I haven’t been doing that. I’m trying to take on tasks on my own instead of going to Him first and let me tell you….. I am feeling the effects of it!!!!

It’s so not a good feeling. It is soooooo much unnecessary pressure that can easily be avoided by just asking and listening. Now why do I keep doing this knowing that I have the most powerful God on my side at all times? I honestly don’t know! Pure laziness?

That’s going to stop now. In order to get control of my life I NEED Him. And you do too. Life is not something anyone can do on their own. For now on, before anything, let’s all ask God for guidance before anything and know and believe that he has the best solution for us.
