Stress Management Tip # 1
Phil. 4:8 Finally brothers, 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.

So, if these are the things we should be thinking about, let's look at some opposites, those things we should not be thinking about.
1. Do not think about what is false (lies from Satan or other people.)
2. What is low, the opposite of noble ( comments that are low, filthy, or sleezy.)
3. Whatever is wrong ( sinful.)
4. Whatever is dirty.
5. Whatever is ugly.
6. Whatever is disgusting.
7. Whatever is terrible or worth condemning.

Tip # 1...DON'T THINK ABOUT THESE THINGS! We CAN choose our thoughts, so choose good ones. I wouldn't say I believe in the "power of positive thinking," but I certainly believe in the "power of Biblical thinking."
