The middle of the week is Wednesday and it means that the week is almost over. Usually we wait until the week is over to ponder what is going on in our lives or what occurred during the week. Why wait?

Here on Life and Business Integration I am starting a new weekly meme that we can call “Ponder It Wednesday”. You can visit every week to read a short reflection followed by some questions. I would love to have you participate and answer one or all of the self-reflection questions

Healing your mind gives you more energy to tackle new challenges.

You are better able to handle trials in your life when you engage in healthy thinking and surround yourself with those things that are lovely to God.

It is often said that God does not give us anything we cannot handle, and this is true. With this knowledge, you can breathe easy and enjoy peace and serenity that God brings into your life.

Allowing healing in your mind helps you to be able to handle the things that come my way.

When you are faced with a new challenge, take a deep breath and allow your mind and body to relax. Just take a step back from the problem and look at it with a positive view.

Let go of making the challenge bigger than it really is and take it one step at a time. Keep my focus positive and proactive, allowing your healthy mind to explore all possible solutions.

Allow the peace of God to surround you and enjoy the calm feeling He will give you. With His love and power you can let go of the need to worry and create chaos in my life.

Start today striving to practice healthy thinking and allowing God’s peace to heal your mind and strengthen your soul. Choose to peacefully tackle all challenges so that you can succeed.

Self-Reflection Questions:

1.    Have you remained positive today?
2.    Have you let go of the need for chaos in my life?
3.    Have you allowed God’s peace to heal your mind?

I can’t wait to read your answers!

When you are dwelling in the negative you cannot win. Nothing you do will work out right because that is the way you have trained your mind to think. Negativity clouds godly wisdom and the sound mind he has given you. Your thought process runs your life; and if you are negative then…well…let’s take it to the word. A Simple yet profound verse in Scripture states As a man thinketh in his heart so he is.

This is true in business as well. What you think, your business will become. What you put into your business will come out in all you try to do. I know this well because when I did not believe in what God had given me for my business, I almost lost it. I felt like I was just not worth it and tried to sabotage myself without knowing that was what I was doing. My heart dwelled on the negative aspects, difficule clients, and tidious tasks I just did not like to do.

So what are you? How do you think? What dwells in your heart?

Negativity brings unnecessary DRAMA. Let me repeat that Negativity brings unnecessary DRAMA!

How much junk is going on in your business that does not need to need be there?

Now let me say that the negativity not only dwells from the inside but it can be all around you as well. Who or what in  is an energy drainer in your business? In other words who or what clouds your godly wisdom and the sound mind you were blessed with in order to conduct your business as God says it should be.

If you want to move your business to the next level, then you have got change that negative mind set. Be transformed into a more viable alive abundant you by no longer conforming to the ways of this world but by renewing your mind so that you will be able to prove and be a witness to what is good, acceptable and perfect in the will of God for your business and those whom you will serve through your vocation.

Instead of dwelling on the negative things in your business, do this…

whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

Yes, even in business!
