Positive living can sometimes seem like a stretch, right? With everything that is going on in your life, it is easy to get dejected. But you can get beyond that and convert your frustrations into positivity.

Life coaches are great examples of positivity. They seem like godsends when you are at your lowest. And you probably wonder what special secret they have for joyous living.

Great news! There is no secret. It is all about the Truth Mindset.

T.R.U.T.H.

T – Target the Lie (Awareness)
R – Replace with Scripture (Anchor)
U – Understand Its Meaning (Alignment)
T – Turn It into a Declaration (Activation)
H – Hold It in Prayer (Abide)

The T.R.U.T.H. Mindset gives you a solid foundation to transform your thoughts, align with God’s Word, and move forward in faith. But how do you practically apply this mindset in your everyday life? That is where intentional action comes in. Truth is powerful, but it is your response to truth that produces lasting change. Now that you know how to ta...

Dealing with conflict diplomatically can be an overwhelming challenge if you have a short temper. The way you treat others affects your career contacts, friendships, job security, and even romantic relationships.

To deal with conflict kindly, be willing to agree to change.

The next time you face confrontation, follow these tips:

1. Step out of your shoes. Scrutinize the situation objectively as it will allow you to see both sides of the story honestly. Why is the other person unhappy? What could you maybe have done to offend them or cause them to feel as if they were wronged or attacked? Is there any merit to their reaction?

* Remember, most people hardly ever lash out without a feeling of justification. Find why they approached you so hastily so you can figure out how to diffuse the situation.

2. Be understanding. Sometimes, all someone needs to calm down is to feel as if they are understood. Say something that will make them feel like they have the right to think

Fear is a healthy, natural emotion necessary for survival. Instead of folding in the face of fear, I utilize it to stir my courage. Fear renders it possible for me to experience a degree of bravery stored inside of me.

Courage is the presence of action amid fear. My courage brings me above my fears and into a place where dreams come true. Because of courage, my heart is bursting with bold hope.

I annul the power of fear in my life, which tries to dictate my actions. With faith illuminating the way, I take risks beyond everything I have accomplished before. I shake off timidity from lack of confidence and change it to courage. 

I dare to dream outside of the limits set on me from my childhood. I do not believe negative words voiced about me as a child. I think my Creator has greater purposes for my life.

I seek to know my purpose with a heart prepared to do whatever it takes to see my destiny fulfilled. By clothing myself in uplifting peace, I stand up to the fears that ...

Patience is frequently the most confusing of virtues. For one thing, many people do not realize that patience is a learned quality!  It does not come instinctively for most of us.

Here are three areas in which patience does pay:

1. Goal setting. You have heard the saying that anything good is worth waiting for. Waiting does not mean simply sitting and doing nothing, waiting for great things to happen to you. You have to make them happen! Give yourself a realistic time frame to sit down and write out your goals. Remember, Rome was not built in a day. Set mini-goals within larger goals so you can get a better visual of your progress. You will feel motivated by your accomplishments when you see your plan developing.

2. Learning new skills. As we get older, it is not as easy to learn new skills. We can become discouraged and feel like giving up. People out of the workforce for many years are entirely out of the technology loop. And it can be challenging to get up to speed. Havi

While dream analysis will not solve all your challenges, just paying closer attention to your dreams can drive you in the right direction for resolving at least some of them. Your dreams can give you clues about what is going on in your subconscious.

Sleeping gives your mind much-needed rest and allocates your brain time to sort things out. What is actually on your mind may wind up in your dreams as a way to deal with your feelings.

Take an interest in Dreams

Get into the practice of paying attention to what your dreams are advising you. They might appear wild and crazy initially, but you may find an important message hidden within if you break them down.

When you have trouble recalling your dreams, keep a pen and paper beside your bed. You might be able to remember your dream the instant you wake up. If so, you can immediately jot down your thoughts before they are lost. This technique also enables you to capture the details of your dreams more fully.

Self-care is more than just a buzzword—it’s an essential practice that honors the body, mind, and spirit God has given us. As Christian women, we are called to steward our health as a form of worship and service to God. However, many of us struggle with guilt when it comes to taking time for ourselves or overlook the importance of caring for our well-being amidst life’s demands.

This blog will explore how adopting a Truth Mindset helps us embrace self-care as an act of faith and stewardship, focusing on balancing physical, mental, and spiritual health for the glory of God.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 “What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.”

This powerful verse reminds us that our bodies belong to God, and we are called to honor Him through how we care for ourselves. Treating our healt...

I listen to others because I care about them and realize that it is in my best interest.

I recognize there is a great deal more to discover about life. I have learned a lot already and will continue to do so because of events to come. If I am open to lessons from individuals with more life experiences, I equip myself with more understanding than I would have achieved.

By listening to others, I safeguard myself from potential pitfalls. At times other people's pasts give them an invaluable perspective in my life. They can alert me to hazards that I may not see. I remain open to their guidance, knowing that those who love me speak out of a desire for my well-being.

I also have faith in community. I am convinced that women are all better off when we have firm bases to fall back on. And such a base takes care, time, and work to build.

We all have ups and downs. While I might feel self-sufficient and content in life right now, my life may be changed in a week, month, or year....

As Christians, our faith is not just about personal salvation or individual spirituality; it is also deeply connected to how we interact with others. From the beginning, God designed us to live in a community and build relationships that reflect His love, grace, and truth. Pursuing healthy relationships is, therefore, an essential part of living out our Christian faith. By striving to build strong, loving connections with those around us, we not only grow closer to God but also experience the profound joy and fulfillment that come from witnessing His transforming power in our lives.

The Biblical Foundation for Healthy Relationships

The Bible contains numerous teachings emphasizing the significance of relationships. Jesus summarized the essence of the Law with two great commandments: "Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou...

We all need support sometimes. It is an essential piece of our life story and a facet of everyone's world. The need is incredibly real when we are going through a challenging experience, such as a hard divorce or the throes of a toxic relationship. Our friends and family are there for us but do not understand the complexity of what we are going through most times.

Often we find ourselves trying to solve and muster all on our own, desperately trying to navigate this thing called life. We find ourselves struggling to maintain a level of peace in our lives, financially, emotionally, mentally, and physically.

We question how we will pay the next bill, who can bring the kids to and from school while working, stress over the added housework, and maintain the life we created, the life we love. Difficult times do not have to be the final destination of your journey. Difficult times lead to glorious and prosperous opportunities if you allow the right people to be there for you.
