I’m starting this on Monday, March 1st. I’m so excited.
This is something I recently was told about and talked on my show this past weekend. Many listeners and Facebook friends are starting it with me.
Dr Emmet Fox, who was a lecturer, teacher, author and minister, developed this many years ago.
Here’s what you do – make up your mind to devote one week solely to the task of building a new habit of thought, and during that week let everything in life be unimportant as compared with that. If you will do so, then that week will be the most significant week in your whole life. It will literally be the turning’ point for you. If you will do so, it is safe to say that your whole life will change for the better.
For seven days you must not allow yourself to dwell for a single moment on any kind of negative thought. You must watch yourself for a whole week as a cat watches a mouse, and you must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind.
When a negative, critical or unkind thought comes into your mind, instantly discard it. Instantly replace it with a positive thought.
A perfect analogy is furnished by the case of a man who is sitting by an open fire when a red hot cinder flies out and falls on his sleeve. If he knocks that cinder off at once, without a moment’s delay to think about it, no harm is done. But if he allows it to rest on him for a single moment, the mischief is done, and it will be a troublesome task to repair that sleeve. So it is with a negative thought.
If you’re interested in doing this 7-Day Mental Diet with me, send me an email, or join me on Facebook. It’s going to be amazing! Not easy, but…amazing!!
