• What am I feeling right now? When I practiced what I surpassed. I’m dealing with unforgiveness which I thought I was a forgiving person. I’m holding those things over individual head that I’m feeling it’s part of my comfort in my defense which shows I’m not trusting God in those areas. • Where do I feel it in my body? I’ve been doing this for so many years. My body actually shows a decline and a breakdown of my nervous system. I’m not the strong person that I thought I was. It is showing that it’s a lack of trust and not allowing God to protect me.

I recently had the opportunity to talk about my book Don’t Take the Bait™ on NBC. The concept is simple but powerful: Every day, life throws us bait — situations, comments, frustrations, and triggers that invite us to react emotionally. The question is… 🎣 Did you take the bait today? Maybe it was:• A frustrating email• Someone’s tone• Traffic• A comment that rubbed you the wrong way The moment between the trigger and the reaction is where your power lives. Your challenge today: 👉 Think about one moment recently where you almost reacted emotionally. Ask yourself: 1. What was the bait? 2. What emotion did it trigger? 3. What would a renewed mind response look like? Drop your answer in the comments 👇Let’s grow together by becoming more aware of the bait around us. https://www.nbcdfw.com/video/texas-today/a-look-inside-dont-take-the-bait/3992844/ Remember:Awareness is the first step to rewiring your response. — Amanda

I have discovered I am unintentionally holding onto my triggers. Instead of relying on God's protection of those areas in my life.
