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