Good morning!

Where our energy goes, we will reinforce tracks in our minds. Those tracks in our minds could be productive and good or they could be old tracks that don’t benefit us at all.

Even the fighting so hard against bad habits can put more energy onto those old tracks and cause us to actually light them up more! The more you fire those neurons, the more they are strengthened.

I’ve talked about this before, but I’ve always been reminded that it is more effective to pour fuel on the fires that you want to grow and let the fires you don’t like to die off due to lack of fuel.

How do we do that? Pouring the fuel of God and His truth into what you want to grow will be one of the most effective uses of your energy.

In all different ways we have tracks that aren’t healthy in our brains. Maybe it’s foods we overeat, maybe it’s time we spend doing pointless things like scrolling, maybe it’s beating ourselves up over mistakes. That is all energy that keeps those tracks in our minds lit up and firing.

Instead, focusing on lighting up the healthy tracks in our minds helps us to use our energy productively and will lead to better lives ultimately.

Time is short! We cannot wait for tomorrow to get moving. Wisdom in using our time and energy towards those healthy brain tracks is so important!

Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil. Ephesians 5:15-16
