0:06.0	I'm Mary Meckley and I welcome you midweek to our series on managing negative thoughts. How are you doing today? How is your
0:20.0	challenge coming along? Your challenge this week. That I encourage you to do each day
0:30.4	this week will keep you attuned to the theme. To manage those thoughts that
0:39.0	run through your mind and really drag you down.

2:38.5	down a few notches to get to the point where you're justifying something that is so negative.
2:49.8	And you may even feel as though you're tarnished because of this negative thought.
3:00.2	So as you do your thought chaser for your challenge this week, today I want to invite you to do a little purification of your thoughts. As I record this, it is midweek. And
