Each week, I remind myself of the advice I often give to others: You are what you consume. If my diet consists of junk food each day, I will have lots of internal problems. If it is varied and has healthy options, my body and mind will continue to work with good energy. It’s the same with what you consume online.
If your digital consumption starts to change your heart, who you are, and begins to make you edgy, you should audit your consumption. The reason you get certain things in your newsfeed is because of what your phone hears in your conversations, what you click on, etc.
Make an intentional effort to find and follow content that promotes a healthier disposition. My favorite things to follow are pages that inform, make me laugh, make me think, challenge me, etc. It’s not only the words you say you have to watch, but it’s the words in your head that influence your heart. Even though you read the Bible regularly, follow the Bible apps. Snacking on Scripture each day through posts that pop up in your newsfeed will keep you focused.
James 3:4, “Or takes ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go.”
Change the tone of voice in your head.
