The Work: Learn How to Get Past Your Past

by Kimberly Davidson

The past isn’t your past if it’s still infecting your present.Could you ever imagine there may be a biological connection between what happened when you were a kid and your body breaking down decades later? Our past can tick away inside us for years like a silent time bomb—until it lets us know our body hasn’t forgotten the past. Negative thoughts and emotions remain alive in our memory networks. Scientists repeatedly confirm emotional stress and adversity affects the cardiac, respiratory and immune systems; it affects the brain and mind. Our emotional biography becomes our physical biology—yet, the Bible vows—and science confirms—our biology doesn’t have to be our destiny. When our brain’s information processing system is stuck, we need help to jump start it. We need to decide to—with our Creator—change our inner world and do “the Work.” We have a choice—either stay locked in the past or proactively take biblically and scientifically proven steps to transform ourselves. Do you want to re-story your life? The Work will walk you through thought and memory therapy for healing the hard and hidden stuff—with the Great Physician. You will discover new insights about how to achieve optimum health and live a better life despite past adversities. The simple time-proven self-help exercises will help you cut through years of negative thinking beliefs so you can move forward towards the glorious plan God has for your life. You will think better—feel better—appear better—perform better, and be in a good place to do what God created you to do.
