Scripture: Matthew 6:34

Book Mentioned: This Naked Mind by Annie Grace

The Ten Commandments of Self-Brain Surgery
I must relentlessly refuse to participate in my own demise.
I must believe that feelings are not facts, they are chemical events in my brain.
I must believe that most of my thoughts are untrue.
I must believe that my brain is designed to heal (Ryker’s Regular Legs)
I must love tomorrow more than I hate how I feel right now. (No Tomorrow Tax! Corollary: I must not treat bad feelings with bad operations.)
I must stop making an operation out of everything.
I must not perpetuate generational thought or behavioral issues in my family or start any new ones.
I must love my brain and live in such a way as to protect and improve it.
I must believe that what I’m doing I’m getting better at.
I must understand that thoughts become things.
