What is toxic thinking anyway?
Toxic thinking results in physical, emotional and mental stress/anxiety and can be a precursor to disease. Here is a list of some common toxic ways of thinking. Please note that this is not an exhaustive list:

How do I train my brain to think positively?
As stated, toxic thoughts impact your body in very negative and harmful ways. In order to rid yourself of these toxic thoughts it is important to do a personal inventory, mentally and physically, to determine if you engage in any of these ways of thinking. For example, if you have a physical condition such as high blood pressure it may be an indicator that you have high stress. The next step would be to identify any possible toxic thinking that may be causing you stress. Your strategy in combating these identified toxic thoughts will be to develop affirmations to counteract them. Affirmations may sound like a foreign or weird concept, but the results cannot be denied. Research has shown that a new thought can be created in 4 days and existing thoughts can be changed in 21 days. Proverbs 18:21 states that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof.” CLICK Bitterness is a root, it is not a sin!
The root grows from a seed - where does the seed comes from? - Power of Influence : Negative Seeds vs Positive Seeds A good tree cannot produce bad fruits, A bad tree cannot produce good fruits!  It takes 21 days to change from a bare tree to a Flourising Tree - you can transform your brain! You have to make the C.H.O.I.C.E. to make the change!

2 Corinthians 10:5 We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God,
and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.
Hebrew 4:12 For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to
dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.

TOXIC THINKING and your EMO While holding an actual photo of the brain, Dr. Leaf, pointed out a very toxic memory. It was a dark black one that looked like a tree with many, many branches. She explained that toxic memories have all the wrong chemicals and they cause a toxic reaction in the body. Dr. Leaf, from Johannesburg, South Africa, has researched the human brain since 1981, and she spoke on Life Today recently about controlling our thought life and eradicating toxic thoughts. She says there are two points where we can actually control how a thought affects our life. The first and most advantageous point of control is when the thought is initially introduced to us. It’s at that point that we can make a decision to accept or reject the information. It was also interesting to me to hear Dr. Leaf explain how this process of free will was built right in to us through genetic code by the Creator Himself.
The second point of control is after the thought has already been accepted. Dr. Leaf says that if thoughts slip through into our brain and become toxic, we need to start the rebuilding process. What it boils down to is a renewing of the mind process just like the Word of God says. We must think on things that are good, pure, of good report. God didn’t say that for no reason! As I observed in a recent post, How Healthy Meditation Can Make Us Successful, God’s Word teaches us that proper meditation will cause us to prosper and succeed, and it will add joy to our life.
Dr. Leaf, author of Who Switched off My Brain?: Controlling Toxic Thoughts and Emotions, says that the medical community and the scientific community (neuro-scientists and neuro-researchers) agree. They have proven that if we think healthy, positive, good thoughts, we release chemicals in our brain that actually go down to those negative toxic memories and start literally helping to dissolve them and actually help change the structure of that memory so that we can grow a new healthy memory over the old toxic one. |
