Mastering Your Bad Days Shifting Your Perspective for Peace and Progress

Prescription for Purpose

Do bad days seem to set off a chain reaction, leaving you stuck in a pattern of frustration, stress, and stalled progress? Many of us live in a reactive cycle, letting challenges derail not just our day but our journey toward achieving our goals. But what if the first step to breaking this pattern wasn’t about doing more but seeing things differently?

In this episode, Dr. Sharla walks you through a powerful perspective shift that lays the foundation for mastering your bad days. By understanding how emotional, mental, and spiritual preparedness influences your response to life’s challenges, you’ll gain clarity on why you feel stuck—and why a mindset rooted in faith is key to moving forward.

Here’s what you’ll take away:

• A mindset reset: Learn why bad days are inevitable and how reframing your response opens the door to peace and growth.
• Biblical truths for resilience: Discover how God equips you to navigate trials without losing focus on your goals.
• The importance of preparation: Understand why stewardship includes planning for life’s challenges, not just hoping they won’t happen.

This episode is about building the foundation to thrive—even when things don’t go as planned. Before you can implement practical strategies, it’s time to shift your perspective and align your mindset with God’s truth.

Journal Prompt:
