Note: A lot of the material is inspired by Craig Groeschel's book. Each week, I take concepts from Pastor Craig Groeschel's book, The Power To Change, and apply them to brain health.
Real change isn’t behavior modification. Real change is spiritual transformation.
When people think of changing, they typically think of behaviors they want to start or stop.
Start (I want to start)
- Reading the Bible
- Tithing
- Being more grateful
- Saving more money
- Being present for kids
Stop (I want to stop)
- Thinking negatively
- Being late
- Drinking too much
- Procrastinating
- Overreacting
Exercise
Write down things you want to start and stop.
"If God told you that he would miraculously change one thing in you, what would you want it to be?"[1]
Principle
"To experience change that lasts, focus on who not do."[1]
“For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it? I will make a pathway through the wilderness. I will create rivers in the dry wasteland.”
Isaiah 43:19 NLT
Spiritual Who
"You do what you do because of what you think of you."[1]
For as he thinks in his heart, so is he. …
Proverbs 23:7 NKJV
“What does ‘so he is’ mean? Who we are-our character-shapes our thoughts
about ourselves and others. What we think is a reflection of who we
are. That then shapes our lives. We have no choice but to live out who
we think we are. What we think within ourselves, we are. We make
decisions based on our self-identification.”[1]
"Research shows that, when making a choice, we essentially (and subconsciously) ask ourselves three questions:"[1]
- What type of person am I?
- What kind of situation is this?
- What does someone like me do in a situation like this?
Instead of focusing on what you want to do, decide who you want to become.
“Every action you take is a vote for the type of person you wish to become. No single instance will transform your beliefs, but as the votes build up, so does the evidence of your new identity.”
—James Clear
“Your self-identity is a primary reason that you make decisions.”
—Craig Groeschel
Exercise
When I :
My underlying belief is that:
Principle
"You do what you do because of what you think of you."[1]
“Jesus looked at them intently and said, “Humanly speaking, it is
impossible. But not with God. Everything is possible with God.”
Mark 10:27 NLT
