Its Time to Move Out

One’s emotional state is like a dwelling place, a house one lives in. Over time this “house” becomes either a place of happiness, love, and security, or a place of misery, hatred, and danger.

The environment of this “house” that one is nurtured by- good or bad- molds one into the person they are today and determines their future- or lack thereof. Many great futures that could have been made possible have been robbed by the toxic emotional states people live in. Negative mindsets have cut many lives short.

So, I ask this question– What “house” are you living in?

Is your emotional state like that of a haunted house where you are tormented, distressed, despaired and frightened?
Or is it like that of a condemned house where you are constantly feeling rejected, judged, ashamed, and unloved?

Is your mindset like that of an orphanage, where you feel like you don’t belong anywhere, abandoned, unwanted, and not really knowing who you are?

Is the environment of your soul like that of a boxing ring, where you feel like you have to always fight or else you will get beat down mercilessly, and where you feel angry, aggressive, and defensive?

Or is it like a funeral home, where there is heaviness of spirit, mourning, bitter sorrow, and memories of a life that once was?

If your “home” is anything like these, then I have Good News for you- You Can Move Out of There!

Every single person has the choice to change their emotional state from negative to positive, from the emotion of fear to the emotion of love, from believing lies to believing truth, from feeling sadness to feeling happiness, and from being distressed to being in peace.

If you started out at a disadvantage where your mind was conditioned to be dysfunctional and toxic, then I want you to know that you are not stuck and doomed to having that mindset for the rest of your life!

You have the power and ability to have an emotional state that is healthy, positive, kind, nurturing, peaceful, and promoting of your dreams and goals. You can have control over your mind and powerfully influence your feelings. You are more than able to behave righteously and create a life that is good and pleasing. You can move out of a self-sabotaging mindset into a mindset that is sound and prosperous.

Now, obviously it takes time to move out of one house to another, but it is well worth the work! Start throwing away the junk that is ruining your life- all those lies in your belief system, those offenses that wounded your heart, those dead-end oaths that you made to yourself that have led you nowhere good, complacency, and unproductive ways of thinking!

Give away some of the good stuff you have that you’ve kept to yourself (this also makes room for you to receive greater blessings in your new house!)- give compliments, encouragement and comfort, mercy, and acts of kindness. Share the wealth and serve others! Sharing is caring.

Get organized and be purposeful on where it is you want to be, because every action you take leads you somewhere. If you want that somewhere to be good then you have to be intentional and direct about where you are going, what you are doing, and why.

If you want to move out of a destructive emotional state into a constructive one, then know that it will take effort and many small steps that each count in a mighty way. Every choice you make matters. Being committed on the journey to mental transformation is one that is daily and deliberate.

To have change you will need to take consistent action and stay devoted to the process. There is no giving up- only pressing forward. There is no staying down when you mess up- only getting back up and persevering towards the goal.

It is more than possible for you to be mentally healthy. I encourage you to pray to God to help you move out of the mental house of death into a mental house of life. Get a good support system if you don’t already have one and let others help you in your journey to psychological and spiritual wellness and success.

You- and everyone else- has the chance to experience true happiness, peace, and joy. It is just a matter of making that choice and sticking to the right process.

You got this. I believe in you!
