How to Overcome Temptation

210 Every time you try to block a thought out of your mind, you drive it deeper into your memory. By resisting it, you actually reinforce it… 

Don’t fight the thought, just change the channel of your mind and get interested in another idea. 

211 Temptation begins by capturing your attention. What gets your attention arouses your emotions. Then, your emotions activate your behavior, and you act on what you felt….

Ignoring a temptation is far more effective than fighting it. Once your mind is on something else, the temptation loses its power…

You defeat bad thoughts by thinking on something better. 


214 If you are a believer, Satan cannot force you to do anything. He can only suggest.
