Today’s Notes:
I – “And calling is Yahweh Elohim to the human, and He is saying to him, ‘Adam! Where are you?’ And saying is he to Him, ‘The sound of You walking hear I in the garden, and fearful am I, for naked am I, and I am hiding’. And saying is He to him, ‘Did anyone tell you that you are naked? From the tree of which alone I instruct you to avoid eating, from it did you eat?'”
(Genesis 3:9-11 – CLV)
II – “But the time is coming—it has, in fact, come—when what you’re called will not matter and where you go to worship will not matter. It’s who you are and the way you live that count before God. Your worship must engage your spirit in the pursuit of truth. That’s the kind of people the Father is out looking for: those who are simply and honestly themselves before him in their worship.
(John 4:21-14 – The Message)
III – “Your self-talk is the channel of behavior change”
― Gino Norris
IV – “Turn down the volume of your negative inner voice and create a nurturing inner voice to take it’s place. When you make a mistake, forgive yourself, learn from it, and move on instead of obsessing about it. Equally important, don’t allow anyone else to dwell on your mistakes or shortcomings or to expect perfection from you.” ― Beverly Engel
V – “The sick in mind, and, perhaps, in body, are rendered more darkly and hopelessly so by the manifold reflection of their disease, mirrored back from all quarters in the deportment of those about them; they are compelled to inhale the poison of their own breath, in infinite repetition.” ― Nathaniel Hawthorne
VI – “I am often amused and sometimes amazed by the free-reign constructs of my mind. That is why I converse regularly with myself – I am one of my better friends…” ― Gavin Mills
VII – “Via self-talk we give our mind instructions on what we expect of ourselves and so behave accordingly. Change the instructions and we change the outcomes.” — Sam Owen
