ANTS

I have not logged into this blog in a while now and I also have not read my friends blogs in a while. Looks like I have many things to catch up on! Not a lot of interesting things going on with the Cliftons. I've been trying to keep myself busy and occupied. I think I literally lost my mind recently. No worries.... I am on the right track to getting it back but it's a slow process. One that requires immense focus and a retraining of my thought patterns. Oh and a lot of pleading with God. And God is good! All the time. Yes, that's another thought I must replay in my head all day long. I had to say goodbye to the ANTS. ANTS stands for Automatic Negative Thoughts. I learned that, courtesy of Dr. Amen from his book regarding Anxiety and how to beat it. It's really interesting to learn that negative thoughts can really wreak havoc on you and your body. There is power to positive thinking and dwelling on truth and scriptures. I've just begun this mind transformation so it's still all new to me and I do have my good days and bad but I'm learning.
