My reactions can be different!

Today's Scripture: Matthew 6:19-21

Thought for the Day: "Refusing to come unglued is the only way to prove to ourselves it is possible to have a different kind of reaction."

So again...we're back to choices. Choosing how to react in the face of things/people that frustrate us, anger us, make us feel less worthy. While many of these negative feelings are easy go-to feelings that we all have...and are normal to have...we have the opportunity to change our perspective on how we handle them. 

I have to catch myself when I start to wallow in the negative reactions which can send my life into  crazy, ugly chaos. I have to stop myself from believing the worst in myself. I have to pray and turn to God and remind myself that He made me in His image. God doesn't make garbage...I turn myself into it by not listening to Him. 

So I have to be more aware of my reactions...think about them and find the positive side to whatever the negative is. Change my perspective...change my reaction. Refuse to become unglued. 

Easier said than done...but I'm definitely making progress.
