Fight or Flight


Ephesians 4:26 “Be angry and do not sin”: do not let the sun go down upon your wrath, 27 nor give place to the devil.
When the anger “alarm system” goes off, the arousal of “fight or flight” is our inborn carnal response. It takes strength and practice to transcend that carnal response. This is not always easy and is often painful.
Hebrews 12:11 Now no chasteninga seems to be joyful for the present, but painful; nevertheless, afterward it yields the peaceable fruit of righteousness to those who are trained by it.

What unhealthy habits need to be crucified?
How do you go about crucifying those unhealthy habits?
How does your relationship with God factor into this?

Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers.

What practices can you implement to build strength of healthy habits that transcend “fight or flight”?

How does your relationship with God factor into this?

What are your thoughts on the phrase “emotional resilience”?

What are your thoughts on assertiveness?

Healthy discipline is the strength building effort that presses through every pain to gain what you need especially when you don’t feel like it!
