The Third Strengthening Factor

 Welcome back!
I trust you have been keeping your head above the waters and showing up regardless.

A quick recap!
In the last post, I mentioned the need for friendships and community-oriented living and how it is not healthy to do life alone.

In today's post, I'll be talking about the third strengthening factor, which is healthy thoughts.
I know you're wondering how healthy thoughts is among the strengthening factors.

One thing I learnt earlier in the year is how unhealthy thoughts breed toxicity. It's easy to think your thoughts are healthy until you reflect on what you think about.

Healthy thoughts are products of healthy emotions. You can't move farther than your thoughts. Your thoughts project who you are.
There is so much about our thoughts that we don't pay attention to. Misunderstandings, low self-esteem, envy, uncaring attitude and toxicity are many times a result of unhealthy thoughts.

In comparing yourself to others, your thoughts towards yourself can never be healthy. In envying others, your thoughts towards others can never be healthy.
Meanwhile, you can only speak the right things, be emotionally free without seeking attention unnecessarily, and care less about what people think of you when your thoughts are healthy.

Healthy thoughts make playing teammates with others easy, make accepting and giving constructive criticism easier without a wrong communication, recognizing what is good for you, and knowing when and being able to say NO becomes much more easier.

A toxic person will never have sincere friends, never have a clear view of life, others or one's self.
How you act, how you talk, what you say, how you interprete things shows who you really are, and I've found out that your thought is the real you.

Funnily, a toxic person many times doesn't know they are toxic or how toxic they really are.
More reason you should pay attention to your thoughts, allow yourself be free from the shackles of toxicity and be happy. Life gets better from this side of the mind. 
Be more positive and less negative, more welcoming and less hostile and there'll be so much to be grateful for.

Forgive if you need to, reflect on your thoughts, unclutter your mind if necessary and you'll be doing yourself great good.

Ahava is cheering for you all the way into your change.
Enjoy the rest of your week.

The First Strengthening Factor

Image
  Everyone has love deep in their vessels. Irrespective of how brutally life has dealt with you, there is still love in you. You are capable of loving, living and being loved without a shade of struggle with doubt or fear. The first strengthening factor for you is in Prayer and The Word. Your communion and fellowship with GOD affords you the ability to love on yourself, be affirmative and loving towards others without a selfish motive. Prayer affords you conversations with GOD and The Word helps you know GOD'S mind towards you. You are strengthened, encouraged and helped to move strategically when you invest your time in acquainting yourself with The Word. You can see yourself how GOD sees you, rely on GOD for strength, and be all that GOD desires for you to be when you invest your time in Prayers and The Word. There is love within. You're not small, you're deserving of love, and you're not beyond redemption. Allow your light shine and radiate effortlessly from within. ...

The Sixth Strengthening Factor

 Hello Love Cup Family🤩! It's another beautiful Thursday and I'm so glad to write to you. Today, we're talking about the sixth strengthening factor which is Meditation. I know you're thinking, when will the strengthening factors come to an end? It's not about to end yet, as we have several things that give us strength and keep us going. Firstly, what is Meditation? Beyond the devotional exercise, meditation is a careful or thorough thought. It is what you reflect on, consider and ponder. It is what you consciously give your mind to. Let me talk a bit more about this. What you give your mind to will eventually become a part of you. What you consistently give your mind to will shape your outlook on life. What you meditate on will become your mindset and the words of your mouth. The place of your intellect is not a separate you. In meditation, you contemplate. In meditation, you make decisions. In meditation, you get to see the values you uphold. You are what you thin...
