7 Ways to Rid Your Garden of Weeds

In the previous post we learned that thoughts are like seeds and the ground the seeds are planted in is our mind. In every seed there is a harvest, rather it's a beautiful flower planted or a nasty weed. In every garden you can expect a weed or two to appear occasionally but it's our responsibility to pluck the weed from the root or else we can expect it to grow again, except we can expect it to come back stronger then before.

Weeds serve no good purpose, especially not in our gardens. Just as negative thoughts serve no good purposes. Weeds come to choke the seeds that are planted to produce good fruit in our lives, the negative thoughts and the traumatic images that replays in our minds over and over again were planted to choke the good seeds that has been planted.

Just as you do not have to accept the weeds in your physical garden, you also do not have to accept the spiritual weeds that come to choke the good seeds in your spiritual garden. With the physical weeds you uproot, you would replace them with good seed. So you should do in your spiritual garden. Just as you have authority in your physical garden, you also have authority over your spiritual garden.

You may not necessarily have control over the thoughts that appear in your mind, but, you can control the thoughts you think about. How do you rid your spiritual garden of spiritual weeds?

1. Seeds can be planted by the words we speak. So speak words of encouragement to yourself, speak words of life over yourself like I am somebody, I do have a purpose.

2. When negative thoughts appear replace them with positive affirmations. Example a thought might manifest and say, you're going to die of a heart attack just like your Father, replace that thought with the thought of you living a vibrant life full of life, then live it just how you see it!

3.Sing words of encouragement to yourself. Our minds tend to remember messages more easily when put into a song. That's why large companies trying to get you to buy their products put their slogans and pitches in music so you will remember them and unconsciously purchase their products.

4. Write a vision for your life. We write visions for businesses but we never write a vision for our lives. When you keep your vision constantly before your eyes, your mind will begin to gravitate to the vision until comes to pass.

5. See yourself successful before you actually are, the imagination can be very powerful when used in a positive way. To prove it, close your eyes and think about a lemon for a minute and your mouth will begin to water, because your mind is reacting on what it sees. Now, just think what will happen when you see yourself happy, wealthy, healed, etc.

6. Surround yourself with successful people, you will begin to desire their lifestyles therefore you will begin to think like them.

7. Enjoy yourself, life is short I know you probably can remember when you were 16 like it was just yesterday, but in reality it's been a while for some of us it's been a long time ago:) So, don't waste anymore time on things that aren't important, enjoy your life while you can!

I hope this will help someone see themselves in a better light, get rid of the weeds in your garden and sow seeds that will produce good fruit!
