One Way To Avoid Sin Stop Negative Thoughts
If it’s one thing Catholics know about its hope
God’s love for us
His infinite mercy gives us hope
Living in an imperfect world
However
Can overshadow hope with doubt
Fear
Depression
Anger
Jealousy
All manner of negative thinking
Without hope though,
we can drift far from Eternal God and the path to Heaven
Try these ideas to resist negative thinking and hold onto hope
Stay alert: Be watchful for the first signs of negative thoughts
So you can crush them before they can take root.
Shake it loose: Do something to disrupt the negative image or
Thought
Snap a rubber band on your wrist
picture a brick wall, say
“STOP” out loud
Replace it: Instead of dwelling on the negative thought
Replace it with a prayer, an image of yourself in a peaceful place
The face of Father Christ Jesus
Mother Mary
Your favorite saint
Move on: Resume normal activities as soon as possible.
Give thanks: Thank Eternal God that He always gives us another
chance to get things right
