Mindset Matters

The sermon topic was about encounters. It was focused on how you handle your encounters with people the scripture was Luke 23 39-43.

The Questions that I got from the sermon was;

Do you handle your encounters with Jesus Christ in mind?

How do you handle encounters?

How do you treat people?

Learn to have a heart for people treat people the way God wants you to treat them.

Show them love and compassion.

God looks at how you handle your encounters.

You will have some good and bad encounters with people but you are in control of how you respond to others.

If you keep doing the same thing why do you look for different results?

Challenge yourself to change how you handle your encounters. It is all about how you focus on things and your mindset that matters.

If we focus on positivity and encouragement we shall have better encounters with others.

With shifting your focus lets stop looking at the problem and focus on our mindest.

In order to change your mindset it will take some work.We are about 3 months away from the new year. Instead of waiting until the new year for a New Years resolution we can change our mindsets right now.

These are ways in which you can helo change your mindset in all areas in your life.

3 ways to help change your mindset;

1.Create a positive mindset, be gracious and be authentic, this will help you look at things in a different light.

- start with affirmations

I am beautiful

I am enough

2. Read a book- books help challenge the way you think and see things, when you really engage in something you can be able to think about your perception.

-whether self help or a good fiction book

some books that I have read are

‘We are going to have more wine with that’ by Gabrielle Union

Awkward Black Girl - Issa Rae

Year of Yes - Shonda Rhimes

3. Social Media Cleanse- Social media can really drain you and take over you. Every time you see something online you can create something in your mind to make you believe that someone else has a better life then you. Taking a cleanse helps you reevaluate what you are focusing on and sometimes social media can cloud that. It is okay to get off of social media for a couple of days. Making sure that you don't always compare yourself to others are try to be like everyone on social media. There are other things you can do instead of being social media of course is reading but podcast are great

Some of my favorite podcast that I listen to are

-Millennial Thoughts

- Black Girl Boss

-Side hustle Pro

- Woman Evolve

-Gettin Grown

- Jesus and Jollof

-Rooted with Yams

you can find all these in the iTunes Store.

You can also call a friend or even start a side hustle.

Overall mindset is everything, today I want you to challenge yourself about how you can ensure your mindset will be positive and that it matters.
