How to Keep a Bad Thought From Spinning Into a Bad Day

Описание: Have you ever had one negative thought turn into a bad mood… and suddenly your entire day feels ruined?

In this encouraging episode of Happy in the Middle, you’ll learn a powerful mindset tool to stop negative thinking before it spirals.

I share real-life experiences from a difficult week of illness, surgery recovery, and exhaustion, -and the simple mental shift that helped me stay peaceful instead of overwhelmed.

You’ll discover how to:
-Catch destructive thoughts early (“catch it while it’s hot”)
-Stop catastrophizing and emotional spiraling
-Shift into calm, faith-filled thinking
-Strengthen your emotional resilience through intentional thoughts
-Create peace even when circumstances don’t change

This episode is especially meaningful for Christian women who want stronger mental health, deeper faith, and more emotional balance in everyday life.

If you’re ready to stop letting one hard moment steal your whole day, this conversation will give you practical tools you can use immediately.
