349: You Are a Warrior Woman! Take Mental Action to Practice Self-Control (Part 2)

Now that you've set your focus area, it's time to tackle the root of self-control—your thoughts. The battle begins in your mind, and today, we’re diving into 2 Corinthians 10:5, learning how to take every thought captive and make it obedient to Christ.

🔹 Brain Science Insight: Negative thoughts trigger the brain’s fear center (amygdala), while faith-filled thoughts activate the prefrontal cortex, helping you make wise, self-controlled decisions. Your thoughts shape your actions!

🔹 Jesus’ Example: When tempted, Jesus spoke truth against the enemy. You can do the same!

🔹 3 Powerful Truths to Declare Today:
1️⃣ “I have the mind of Christ, and I can think His thoughts.”
2️⃣ “This thought isn’t from God, so I won’t let it take root.”
3️⃣ “Renewing my mind is a daily process, and I’m growing stronger.”

🔹 3 Practical Steps to Stay Strong:
✅ Identify Triggers – Recognize what pulls you toward negativity.
✅ Replace Lies with Truth – Use Scripture and affirmations to redirect your mind.
✅ Practice Gratitude – A grateful heart silences doubt and fear.

📌 Action Step: Write down one toxic thought in your focus area and counter it with God’s truth. Share your insights for encouragement!

Let’s demolish lies and walk in freedom together. You’re not in this alone! See you next week for Part 3! 🎧✨
