Bad Thought Therapy™

Bad Thought Therapy™

By C. Chérie Hardy

Our thoughts determine what we do, say, and become. They are directly responsible for our reality. Our thoughts are mental guides; they lead us to light or they seduce us into darkness. Where are your thoughts taking you? All humans have bad thoughts, but how we process what is in our minds will determine if and/or how we act on them. This podcast helps listeners understand that what is in our heads impacts us; it discusses effective strategies that can be used to transform negative thinking. Good thoughts can lead to good decisions.

(Mother to Daughter) 7 Critical Lessons for Relationships #spirituallessons #relationshipadvice

SUBSCRIBE to the YOUTUBE Channel: Bad Thought Therapy™ - YouTubeThis special episode was inspired by a video of a beautiful, young woman who was crying and lamenting her frustrations about men not respecting women. While I extend empathy for her pain, the uncomfortable truth is the quality of our lives is determined by our own choices. In other words, we determine who has (or does not) have access to our hearts, bodies and minds. The 7 critical lessons for relationships discussed in the episode can possibly help young women make better choices about with whom they get involved. Making the wrong choice can be a matter of life and death. Listen and learn how to experience the love God intended for righteous relationships. #spirituallessons #spiritualgrowth #relationshipadvice #lifelessons #marriage #badthoughttherapy

Why Shannon Sharpe Did It: Spiritual Lessons about Lust and Loss #shannonsharpe #lifelessons

All human behavior is manifested based on what is in our mind and heart. To be carnally-mined leads to desperation, disease, and death; to be spiritually-minded leads to love and living to the fullest. When a man's mind is distorted about the purpose of women, sex, and relationships, he will be prone to perversion and deviation. Lust will consume him, and loss will always follow. Listen and learn how to reject the "world's way" and embrace The Most High God's plan for righteous, long-lasting, and loving relationships. #spirituallessons #relationshipadvice #relationshipstruggles #lifelessons

(Love and Relationships) Big and Beautiful: Lessons from the No Fugazee Podcast

(Love and Relationships) Big and Beautiful: Lessons from the No Fugazee Podcast

It's hard, but when you accept that your marital status is determined by God, you will experience a preternatural peace. While size matters, being smaller or fit does not guarantee that you will be treated with respect and love. Women who have never been "fat" a day in their lives have been mistreated, abused, lied to...and even killed. Big women, please stop trying to get men to look beyond your weight. Shedding pounds does not lead to shedding problems. Let those men get what they want. Seek out God for direction and guidance. If it is His will that you marry, you will. Dry your eyes, and focus on all the good things in your life rather than fretting about not being married. Listen and learn.
