Stop and Start

Stop and Start

We don’t live in a vacuum so when we decide to stop something that isn’t working for us, we need to replace that behaviour or thought pattern with a fruitful behavior or thought that will serve us well.

This is a biblical pattern, as seen in Colossians 3: 9,10, where it talks about putting off the old self and its practices and putting on the new self that is being renewed to the true knowledge and image of God.

So, I choose to stop beating myself up when I’ve made a mistake. And I choose to start loving myself and accepting myself the way God does even when I fail, make a mistake or do something wrong.

Is there a bad habit that you need to stop doing? What helpful and good habit or thought can you start doing or thinking instead?
