When negative thoughts show up, acknowledge it. Then, ask yourself the following questions.
* Why am I thinking about this?
* Am I in the past or in the now?
* What is the benefit of holding on to this thought?
* What is the benefit of letting go of this thought?
* What choice do I want to make to bring me at peace?
You have the power to control your thoughts. It takes practice. You can do it!

Like to think of it as having the knowingness that I am powerless, and that when I surrender and ask for help from my God, I turn the control over to Him. He can do what I can't do alone. Surrender isn't about giving up, it is about giving over.

Again it is HOW the program works. Honesty, Open-mindedness, and Willingness.

Thanks for the sharing that you do.
