To train yourself in the habit of thought selection will be difficult for the first few days, but it is the most interesting experiment that you could possibly make. You will be amazed at the things that you will learn about yourself. This week may be the most significant week in your whole life; not only will you be able to face your present difficulties in a better spirit, but the difficulties will go. You cannot change conditions directly—you have often tried to do so and failed—but go on the seven-day mental diet and conditions must change for you.
This then is your prescription. For seven days you must not allow yourself to dwell for a moment on any kind of negative thought. You must watch yourself for a week and must not under any pretense allow your mind to dwell on any thought that is not positive, constructive, optimistic, kind. This discipline will be so strenuous that you could not maintain it consciously for much more than a week, but a week will be enough, because by that time the habit of positive thinking will begin to be established. Some changes for the better will have come into your life, encouraging you enormously, and then the new way of life will be so attractive that you will find your mentality aligning itself almost automatically.
Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. (Matthew 26:41).
It may seem an impossible task to think only positive thoughts for an entire week. In fact, without God’s help, it is impossible. Discovery of that truth is one of the main reasons to engage in the seven day mental diet. God does not want us to be worrying, fretting, fearing or being angry, sad or judgmental. God created an Eden for us to live in, yet our negative thoughts block us from fully living in our Garden. When we turn to God and ask for help, we then tap into our relationship with God and the Creator’s power and will flows through us into our world. It is through this relationship that we are able to lift our thoughts words and deeds into the positive realm and are then able to live in our gardens. May God bless each of us as we journey into this new positive reality we will create through and by God.
In joy,
