Interview 55 Detoxing Your Brain 1 (Leah Fronczek)

At the beginning of each year, we have a young adult event called Revive in Connecticut.  This year Leah Fronczek was one of the workshop leaders.  Her topic was detoxing your brain and I asked her to come on Restitutio to share with you what she learned in studying this topic.  This is so important for us as Christians, because God expects us to be able to control our thinking (Romans 12.2).  How do you get rid of toxic thoughts?  Leah is going to help us think through not only how negative thoughts affect us, but how to combat them.

Now, before we get into this, I want to make a distinction.  The mind, as we are using it in this discussion, is your mental state, consciousness, memories, feelings etc. , i.e. where you do your thinking, whereas the brain is the physical organ in your head that makes the mind possible.  Obviously, these two are connected, but they aren’t necessarily the same.  We’ll get into this more, but I just wanted to point that out before we get started.
