Change the Channel

We all know how to use the remote control to change the channels on T.V. If we see something we don't like, no big deal-we just flip the channel.

We need to learn how to change the channels in our mind when negative images and thoughts of the past pop up unexpectedly.

Unfortunately, when some people see those negative experiences on their minds' "screens," instead of quickly changing channels, they pull up a chair and get some popcorn, as though they're going to watch a good movie.

They willingly allow themselves to relive all these hurts and pains. Then they wonder why they are depressed, upset, or discouraged.

You have the choice to change the channels in your mind. Take charge of the remote and focus on the good.
