In her new book, Courage and Confidence - A Bold Guide to Unboxing Who You Were Made to Be, Nicole O. Salmon presents four simple practices to help renew your mind.

Psychologists at Queen’s University in Kingston, Canada released a study that suggests we have 6,200 thoughts a day, on average. That’s a potential of 6,200 votes daily in favor of what empowers you, or 6,200 votes in agreement with what enslaves you (or some combination of the two).

A shift to purpose led living needs to be positively and biblically reinforced daily, and we are physiologically rigged to enhance it.
