"What kind of mental diet are you on?"

Click here to listen to Dr. Joey tell his story!

Most all of the diet plans I’ve read or heard about encourage you to eliminate junk food. You know, the foods that really taste good, the stuff you crave while watching "American Idol", "CSI" or "House." Most of these diets suggest you give up Twinkies for toasted rice cakes, or marshmallow, peanut butter sandwiches for melons. Junk food clogs up your arteries, adds unwanted pounds, and shoves you toward diabetes early in life.

So what did you eat over the weekend?

Okay, the effects of junk food are obvious, but have you thought about the effects of junk thoughts? Those negative thoughts that you know bring you down, keep you from being your best, and just generally make your life miserable? And yet you choose to think them anyway. They start as one little worry, or an isolated frustration, and then build and grow into full-blown mental obesity.

What kind of mental diet are you on? Junk or healthy thoughts?

Ask God to guide your thoughts today as you make a life, not just a living.
