This simple 20-minute activity has been proven through research to be highly influential in a person's long term success and overall happiness and satisfaction after they've faced loss, trauma, or any form of hardship. Of all that my counsellor and I talked through, this ONE piece of homework was game changer for me. It's honestly like therapy when you sit down and do it authentically with God's help.

So, let's talk about it.

We've been chatting about mental health and taking toxic thoughts captive through a range of episodes. Today, let's finish it off with with one of my favourite Confetti Recipes that truly will result in renewed perspective, freedom from the internal chatterbox, and longterm positive change in your mind.

God bless y'all!

How is it that some people who have faced the most horrific events in life can still find it possible to live with joy, delight, and hope for a brighter future? How do Holocaust survivors go from simply surviving to thriving well into their 90s? How do people who once struggled with depression and anxiety turn a corner towards hope and wholeness?

Well, the state of your mind is connected to the state of your immunity.

The condition of the roots in your mind determine the condition of the fruit you produce in your life. If there's any form of misbelief based on past experiences, it will lead to misalignment with the current reality. And that sadly leads to many missed opportunities to experience the delight that can be found every day. Yes, there is delight to be found even on the hardest days.

But it all comes down to who and what you agree with.

God bless,
Darcie

Are you the type to say "I'm fine" even when you're very much not fine? Or are you the type to keep the conversation of your emotional vent going by saying "just let me say one more thing and then I'm done"?

Today, we're talking about two toxic things we tend to do with our emotions: bottle and brood.

Toxic thoughts can lead to toxic emotions, so let's talk about how we can better learn to navigate our emotions. Let's discover how to believe the best in everyone and in every situation, with God's help.

Love,

Darcie (a previous bottler)
