“I don’t have to finish today. It’s okay to never finish.” That is a brilliant daily reminder! As is the idea to talk to myself like God talks to me in the Bible. Reading Paul’s letters I often can’t help feeling I am being addressed (reading them doesn’t feel like prying on someone else’s conversation — perhaps because they were semi-public letters).

Dwell on these good thoughts. Have you read Jon Acuff’s soundtracks – very similar, He encourages us to collect positive self talk sound tracks to repeat. He has an interesting podcast too. I read the book from the library and just ordered a copy too.

I need to read a book that challenges me to talk to myself the way God speaks to me. Now that the pandemic restrictions are ending, my calendar tends to overflow too. Focusing on the positive is a wonderful daily reset.

We DO dwell on things whether we choose to or not. How wonderful when we manage to be intentional about the daily focus!

I once heard a speaker draw a new-to-me lesson from Mary’s anointing of Jesus’ feet. She focused on Mark 14:8 where Jesus says, “She did what she could.” At the end of a busy day with an incomplete to-do list, each of us can say, “I did what I could.” And that is enough. Somehow we’re not satisfied unless every single item is checked off, but that’s unrealistic. Now as I leave my desk with tasks incomplete, I try to remember to encourage myself: I did what I could, and that is enough.

I don’t even use lists any longer except to go to the grocery list. Living in a tiny house – I can SEE every thing needing done and I either do it or put it off for a few days. Things I must do each day: make bed, do dishes, wipe kitchen down, keep bathroom tidy. DONE! Right now, my office space is desperate for a thorough remove all things and clean — I may or may not — but it’ll get done by Christmas. LOL!!! You would never even know it needs it cause it is tidy!

Lisa this book looks interesting to me-I tend to struggle with negative self talk, but thought I was doing better until I read the three days you shared, none of those things do I ever say to myself, and found it hard to do so. Looks like a great read!

Lisa thanks for the great book review. I’m always adding books to my to-be-read list. Blessings.

I love your line “My random thoughts need guardrails when they start wandering astray.” Holy Spirit set up those guardrails and help me bring my thoughts back into alignment with what you say.
