Four Ways to Change Your Mind:
1. Ask the Holy spirit to help you control your thoughts.

Philippians 4:8 And now, dear brothers and sisters, one final thing. Fix your thoughts on what is true, and honorable, and right, and pure, and lovely, and admirable. Think about things that are excellent and worthy of praise.

“TNRPLA:” Is it true? Noble? Right? Pure? Lovely? Admirable?

2. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you a hunger for the truth.

Ephesians 6:17 Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.

3. Ask the Holy Spirit to free you from the strongholds in your mind

2 Corinthians 10:4-5 The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds. We demolish arguments and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and we take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ.

Practical Application:
-Expressive writing.

4. Ask the Holy Spirit if you need to see a doctor.
