052 The Struggle with Our Thought Life with Sarah Geringer

Maybe your mind keeps replaying something a teacher said about you back in school. Maybe you tend to be a “the glass is half empty” type of gal. Maybe mentally you are your own worst critic. You wouldn’t be alone. According to the National Science Foundation, an average person has about 12,000 to 60,000 thoughts per day. Of those, 80% are negative and 95% are repetitive thoughts. If this is the case, then there is no wonder that many people suffer from anxious or racing thoughts, negative self-talk, worry, and overthinking. Today Sarah Geringer and I are going to tackle The Struggle with Our Thought Life. Sarah is a speaker, podcaster, and author of Transforming Your Thought Life: Christian Meditation in Focus. Listen in to learn: The power that thoughts have in our lives How our actions are products of our thoughts Why a negative thought life can be such a struggle How to re-train and gain control of our thoughts so they can work for us Favorite Verse: “Set a guard over my mouth, Lord.” Psalm 141:3a Favorite Quotes: “Our actions start with thoughts first.” – Sarah Geringer “I learned to take control of my thoughts by replacing them with scripture.” – Sarah Geringer “If the Bible talks about having the mind of Christ, then that’s something that we all need… and that’s something that comes through spiritual disciplines and our choices.” – Tiffany Jo Baker “When we are able to have the word of God hidden in our heart… that’s what comes out of us when life hits.” – Tiffany Jo Baker Check out all the things Sarah Geringer is up to here ( https://www.sarahgeringer.com ) *If you’re looking for perfectly polished people or podcast, this isn’t for you.
