Today's Bible Verse

"You should grow as believers in all these ways, more and more. When you live in that way, it will show that you really know our Lord Jesus Christ. People will see that your life has good results."

2 Peter 1:8

Reflection

What are the ways in which Simon Peter is telling us we should grow?
If we read all of chapter one, which is a very short chapter, we will see that he tells us to add faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, patience, devotion to God, kindness, and love.

Today's Bible Verse

"Praise the Lord! Every day he helps us with the loads we must carry. He is the God who saves us. Selah." -Psalms 68:19

Reflection

Aren't you grateful that God doesn't just tell us to figure life out on our own?
Unlike any other religion, Christians have a personal relationship with a loving and helpful Father. One who is intrinsically interested in the innermost desires of his creation.
He is invested in us.

Catastrophizing Explained

8/19/2021

What does it mean to Catastrophize?

Catastrophizing is a common thought distortion.
Catastrophizing simply means thinking irrationally about the worst possible outcome of an action or event. It can also involve making a very big deal out of something minor.

For example: You overslept this morning.
Your automatic thought is "The whole day is ruined! My boss is going to write me up. I'm definitely going to lose my job. I might as well not even go into work today."

That escalated quickly!

Which is a common indication of catastrophizing. If you catch yourself going from zero to ten, take a step back and question if you may be making a bigger deal than what is warranted.

Catastrophizing, like all other thinking errors, tends to ignore a lot of the facts.
But that's why they're an error. And like any other error, they can be corrected.

So how would you correct our first example?

Today's Bible Verse

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away."

1 Corinthians 13:4-8

Not feeling motivated in Your Recovery?

Motivation is Less Important than Determination

In a society that is constantly consumed by telling everyone to follow their heart or find their own truth;
we have become products of how we feel, instead of people with the power to practice self-control and the wisdom to make educated decisions.

Challenge:
Stop
using the phrase I don't feel like it.
Start
focusing on the consequences of your choices.
