Food for thoughtz- ******^Learning to control your thoughts and emotions????? Is that possible????******* Negative, misguided thoughts, lead to negative perceptions of ourselves, which turn in to dangerous realities, and run away feelings not based in truth: ultimately lead to one thing: insecurities! Ex. you are not liked! Who are you to do that? Why did you say that? You are not good enough! You dislike me! You are invisible! These toxic thoughts haunt us all at times, and they leave no room for truth...all that is left is a lie, they we have talked ourselves into believing! The devil has us right where he wants us: defeated!! If we do not call these thoughts into truth, they become wrong perspectives, which we use as a basis or filter for every other interaction! Oh, how often have I done this, thought something in my mind, (that was never actually said), until it became my truth, a false reality!!! Physiology research states" when we take in information into our bodies and activate an attitude, a state of mind, it influences our reaction to life, then the attitude, weather positive or negative, is transmitted from our, thalamus,(which is like the air traffic controller of all the thoughts in our brain) down to the hypothalamus: which is a small organ with a mini chemical factory, (where our thought processes happen) signaled by the Larger Thalamus, to prepare a response a response to our brain, to the hypothalamus, which determines the type and quantity of chemicals to release into our brain, thus greatly impacting how we function emotionally and intellectually! For instance, if you are anxious or worried about something, the hypothalamus, responds with a flurry of stress chemicals, which engages the pituitary, the master gland of the endocrine system, which in turn, secrets hormones responsible for organizing trillions of cells in our bodies to deal with the impending threats! Negative thoughts shift your endocrine system into protection mode and limit your brains ability to think with wisdom/clarity or to develop healthy thoughts! On the other hand, if you change your thought process , not to worry, the hypothalamus prompts the secretion of chemicals and facilitation of peace and in turn, the rest of the brain releases neuro transmitters that facilitate clear thinking! In short, God designed our bodies to respond to our thoughts, negative thoughts respond with crisis mode, and hinder our ability to think clearly! Where as positive thoughts allow us to process the situation accurately, in a healthy way! This truth, should challenge all of us to consider all of our thoughts and hold them to a higher standard!!!! Are we thinking clearly, in truth, or are we thinking with confusion and mis guided truths? Its not only physiological, its Biblical! OH, all the trouble i have invited into my life, because of misguided assumptions!! Because God made our bodies, with all the emotions, hormones, chemicali responses, HIS, Word- gives us key insight on how to Handel all of these responses! Here are some wise words from Apostle Paul: Be anxious for nothing, but in all things, in EVERY situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God! And with THE peace that passes ALL understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus!! What ever is TRUE, NOBEL, pure, lovely,admirable or praise worthy, think about such things and Put it into PRACTICE! And the God of Peace will be with you! Wow! Phillipians 4:6-9
