The process of controlling one’s thoughts is never an easy one. Psychologist and couple’s therapist, Dr Piére Nel, shared some profound lessons with UFS staff members on learning how to discipline one’s body in order to strengthen the spiritual man/woman. While we might seek to become and achieve great things, Dr Nel stressed that it’s crucial to have a power plan to get somewhere in life.

“Take ownership of what is going on in your life.” This is made possible by pausing. In doing so, it enables you to start seeing what you want. Dr Nel explained that clear vision comes from monitoring your temperament better.

What we desire most can be brought about by the way we speak to ourselves through positive self-statement. Dr Nel challenges all to give themselves permission to change their perception while travelling into the unknown, and to replace every doubt with thoughts of faith.
