Philippians 4:8
“…whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”

take every thought captive…and make it obedient to Christ… 2 Corinthians 10:5

Let’s work to get really good at realizing when we are daydreaming about guilt, mistakes, slights (real or imagined), and other dysphoria where I am the victim… and bounce out of that mindset. Pivot and shift to virtuous positive thinking.

Why? BeCauseway.

COT:
In pursuit of virtue and high-impact, you should be working to start/sustain good habits (fitness, nutrition, sleep, prayer, study, meditation, gratitude, etc.) and working to stop/sustain harmful habits (anger, lust, drugs, excess alcohol, junk, porn, etc.). Each of these things will be DIFFICULT…but KEEP AT IT…because one day, they will not be so difficult anymore. They are difficult until they are easy – OR – they never get easy, but you get stronger. If you miss a day, don’t miss two. If (when!) you stumble…START AGAIN. Keep pursuing virtue, brothers.

2 Peter 1:5-8, “…make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, mutual affection; and to mutual affection, love. For if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive in your knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.”
