Regina’s Tip for Lesson 33
Yesterday, I asked you to review the tip for lesson 23. In that tip, you learned to give attention to thought differently by holding a thought in the mind while saying the daily workbook lesson to yourself. That practice is a simple and powerful practice since it is different than giving believing-attention to thought.
Holding a thought in the mind and saying the workbook lesson to yourself is another way of looking at thought. Since the world you see comes from the thoughts you give believing-attention to, holding a thought in the mind as you say the workbook lesson is also how you look at the world differently.
Instead of letting the thoughts that come into the mind tell you how to see and experience the world, you choose how you will see and experience the world by choosing which thoughts you will believe and which thoughts you will let go.
This is the practice recommended in NTI Colossians when it says:
“Therefore, do not look at the world letting it tell you what to think. To make this mistake is to participate in illusions, …
“Watch your mind, and you watch what it is that you do. With this knowledge, you may gladly choose again.”
