I was recently involved in a local production of Pilgrim, a dramatic musical based on the John Bunyan book The Pilgrim’s Progress.  It is a powerful allegory that tracks a believer’s life along the path to Heaven; a transformational journey of sanctification on the road to glory.  Many of the pilgrim’s struggles, like my own, are thinking problems: defective thinking, overthinking, not thinking, or thinking about the wrong things.

Improving and maintaining mental wellness starts with transforming the mind.  

What: Do not be conformed to this world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. (Romans 12.2) 

How: Read, pray, relax, meditate, limit screen time, rest, escape.  What are some others that work for you?  

Why: Less stress, better sleep, more creativity, greater productivity, higher energy, healthier relationships. What are some other benefits?  

This is the first in a series of short Tuesday reminders about the importance of mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual wellness.

And look for the annual Beyond Strength Year In Review coming soon!

Get Strong. Be Strong. Stay Strong.
