In today’s episode, I talk about eliminating toxic thoughts. With this being the last week before school starts, I’ve been busy preparing for the end of summer and the beginning of the school year, but I’ve had a lot of time to reflect on my own thoughts. Recently, I finished reading a book by Jenny Allen that talks about how our thoughts shape the lives we live. It can be easy to feel overwhelmed by our day-to-day life and oftentimes thoughts can be consuming to the point of controlling. However, I am here to remind you that letting our thoughts spiral out of control does more harm than good. It’s time to eliminate our toxic thoughts.
