Episode 37: Feelings of Discouragement, Staying Positive and Encouragement in Difficult Times

Wow! There have been so many crazy things going on in our world! How do we stay positive when so much negativity surrounds us? KNOW! We have HOPE in Him! Isaiah 12:2 tells us “God is my salvation; I will trust and not be afraid. The LORD, the LORD himself is my strength and my defense; he has become my salvation.”

 

I hold tight to this verse. When feelings of overwhelm and uncertainty arise, I go to Him and say this verse aloud. As I recite this verse a feeling of peace surrounds me and I know that He has me!

 

Let me encourage you today! Stay positive and KNOW that God is in control. No matter what is going on around me, I will sing His praise. In good and in bad I will praise HIM. When I notice that I am feeling anxious or am beginning to worry, I recognize the thought and then I proceed to say aloud everything that I am thankful for. I am surrounded by abundance! As I say aloud all of the things that I do have going for me; I am reminded how truly blessed I am and how abundance is everywhere. I was reminded this morning during my meditation time that God is Good, ALL the time. Whether we choose to recognize this is really up to us. We can choose abundance, joy, wealth, it’s all there we just have to claim it!

 

Some Tips for Staying Positive:

1. Take time to meditate – Taking time to meditate in the morning really gets the day started off right!
2. Recite “Morning Affirmations” – Each morning I recite approximately 10-15 affirmations. It takes about 5 minutes but it reminds me that I am made for MORE! (You can find affirmations by googling or even on Pinterest) If you need help, email us and we would be glad to help you with this.
3. Surround yourself with other positive people – Having the right support group is essential for living a stress-free, positive lifestyle.
4. Lastly, Pray – Give it all to God!
