I don't think yall understand how important it is to guard your heart, especially during a time like this when so much chaos, negativity, trauma and uncertainty is coming at you daily. Your heart is fragile, it needs to be protected at all costs.
YOU MUST make it a practice to renew your mind daily, guard your heart, protect your peace, and feed your mind positive things. Cast down every negative and anxious thought. Keep your thoughts pure and stay alert. Don't leave room for the enemy to creep in.
Be very careful with what you read, listen to, watch, and say, especially on the internet. Your mind is very sensitive to what you digest daily. Clean up your feeds, all the outside opinions, noise, and [mis]information is not only a distraction but can weigh on your heart.
Be careful not to let the weight of the world and negative words plant seeds in your heart that grow into resentment, anger, and bitterness. When people project their negative opinions and fears onto you, if you're not careful, you'll let them in and they'll become your own.
Think about when you read something... unless you know how the person who wrote it sounds, you probably read it in your own voice. If you keep thinking about it, it becomes harder to dissociate their words from your own thoughts. So now, it's no longer their voice, it’s yours.
Your thoughts, when you meditate on them, become actions. Eventually, you begin acting on what other people have said thinking it was your decision but in reality, that thought didn't even come from you. That's the power of words.
We have to be very careful. Social media can be great but it can also be highly toxic. If you're feeling bad, remember there's always a root. Find that root, dig it up, get rid of it immediately. Because if that root is in your heart, it will determine the course of your life.
Period.
