“Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, ‘Why are you thinking these things?'"- Mark 2:8
Not only can positive thinking affect your heart, but it can also change you physically and emotionally. Being habitually negative can cause you to feel saddened by everything around you. How we think can also affect how we react to certain situations, whether they are bad or good. Only by practice can we create healthy positive thinking; it does not come automatically.
Reading God's Word can reassure our spirits and help us focus on positive outcomes. We need to speak in life-giving ways not only to ourselves but also to others because God teaches us to love one another. Ultimately, as believers, we know that this world will fade away and we will overcome through Christ. This knowledge should empower us to have a positive mindset every day.
