Summary

It's crazy how a couple minutes on social media in the morning can impact the rest of our day. Oftentimes we view a post from across the world that provokes an emotion of fear, anxiety, or depression into our own world. This, then, effects the way we communicate with our loved ones.

In this 5 minute episode Josh and Christi encourage you to pay attention to the things that are impacting your attitude. They suggest creating an emotion log of instances that trigger negativity, as well as instances that bring you life. This practice provides awareness of what needs to be eliminated and what needs to be implemented. It's the little changes that order your day in a way that allows you to show up for your family.

0:57.8	because my mind went somewhere else that it never needed to or wasn't supposed to because I saw
1:05.6	something on another side of the world that has nothing to do with me and yet I brought it into my
1:10.5	world. And we have to
1:12.4	pay attention to those little things that are sucking the joy of our salvation out of us that have
1:18.1	nothing to do with us or that we have no business being in to begin with. So do an emotion log

1:51.0	right before you're getting ready to have dinner with your family, right?
