This was originally posted in June 2007, i am just moving my blogs in one place -
I'm reading a book entitled You are What You Think by Dr. David Stoop
wherein one of the issues he raised is the relationship between anger
and self talk. For someone who has been told that I have anger
management issues(you know who you are!), I took great interest on the
subject in my effort to become a better, more pleasing person before
God.
It was pointed out that our demands tend to intensify our
emotions that often lead to anger. In order to defuse anger, such
demands should be changed to wants and desires.
After going through my rants, my self talk in certain areas should be changing real soon:
1. I wish I am braver and stronger.
2. I am battling with sadness and loneliness. I wish I understand what is going on.
3. Eventhough I don't understand, I still believe God is in control over every situation in my life.
4. I wish I will get hired for that writing job I applied for.
5. I may not have all the money in the world, but I know that God will
meet all my needs according to His glorious riches and glory.
6. God, I need more patience.
7. People are tactless and insensitive of other people's feelings. I wish they can be more considerate.
