Can your brain actually be rewired from negative to positive?
Today's conversation with Deanna Beckett, author and speaker, tackles the stories we tell ourselves and how they shape everything we do in business.
Deanna spent years dragging bitterness and guilt into her work and relationships. Through Bible study and daily thought-resetting, she learned something critical: What goes in comes out. Garbage in, garbage out.
She talks about neuroplasticity: How our brains can be rewired from dead, gnarly branches into something healthy and growing. But you can't just remove a bad habit and leave a hole. You have to replace it with something good.
The workplace reality? More than half of conversations at work are probably negative. That doesn't just waste time—it attracts more negativity and keeps you stuck.
Deanna's daily practice: She rewrites Bible verses in first person and speaks them out loud. "He gives me the ability to produce wealth." Instead of scrolling social media and feeling anxiety creep up, she shuts it off and tackles what she's been avoiding.
One shift that changes everything: Replace "I have to" with "I get to." Add "yet" to complaints. "I'm not where I want to be... yet."
Redeem Your Business Today by the Following:
How can we honor God in our business?
- Control what you can control—your attitude and your response. You can't control other people's reactions or circumstances, but you can choose grace when someone's having a rough day.
- Chase peace intentionally. Redirect negative conversations at work or remove yourself from them entirely.
One challenge from today:
- Shift two words tomorrow morning. Instead of "I have to go to work," say "I get to go to work." Pay attention to how that small change affects your whole day. Everybody's fighting a battle you know nothing about—be gracious.
