My Favorite Emoji Calls Me Out of My Complacent Zone

Daily writing promptWhat are your favorite emojis?View all responses

The classic smiley face is my favorite emoji. It reminds me that there’s not much to smile about in my complacent zone.

The smiley face emoji makes me realize that staying in my complacent zone is boredom for my mind! It challenges me to stretch my face with a smile and to stretch my life by living beyond complacency.

Think about, focus on, listen to, watch, and read the things that make your mind a peaceful paradise. Mental health without mind-management is a myth.

Mental health is built on mind management. It requires discernment, discipline, and focus. Recognize the thoughts that make your life better and the thoughts that make it worse. Welcome and cultivate thoughts that improve your mental wellbeing. Oppose and drive away thoughts that don’t. Refuse to be distracted by the enslaving enticements that seduce you from within and without.

Messed up thinking is not mental illness. It’s brain mismanagement.

A great way to get out of your complacent zone is to welcome Christ’s thoughts into your mind. Let them lead and direct you throughout each day. Resist and reject all ungodly thoughts. Allow them no place in your mind. Step outside your complacent zone and begin to experience Jesus-adventures every day.
