2 Timothy 4:2 “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage–with great patience and careful instruction.”

Proverbs 24:24-25 “He that saith unto the wicked, Thou art righteous; him shall the people curse, nations shall abhor him: 25 But to them that rebuke him shall be delight, and a good blessing shall come upon them.”

Rebuke… Encourage.. Rebuke… Encourage…
This pretty much covers some of your question.

If you always keep the Word in your heart you will know how to respond to those who need to be corrected. Could you imagine yourself without correction from your parents? And then could you imagine yourself with out Correction from the Lord?

First, I would ask you to understand how important it is to correct your friends and family.

Secondly, ask yourself how good are you at receiving correction yourself. this is important because you dont want to dish anything out that you yourself cant handle.

Read 1Cor 13 and let that reside in your spirit so you can keep checking yourself! Was I patient with this person? Was I kind? Was I boasting? Was I proud? Was I proud? Eventually you’ll get to a place where you will no longer need to constantly ask yourself these questions. You’ll be following the Holy Spirit. Just pray before you speak. And Remember Jesus was not always gentle. Remember what he said to Peter?

Just come correct and please don’t beat yourself into a pulp before you speak to someone. You must try and try again so you’ll learn!

Yes, it is possible to trust someone who must correct. We are to love and trust people as Christ would. Realizing they are imperfect but loving them and serving them anyway.

This is what I used to call “Christian Stupid” This was before I was saved we have to kill people with kindness and respect. And of course not everyone is worth of your trust! You must be wise.

But again don’t rely solely on what I say.. Jesus Died and send an Advocate? Remember to always use Him.. Christ died for us. He is the best friend you could every have. Just use Him sis.

And

The video recommends this four part approach to help regain control of your fear response (Navy Seal pass rates went up from 25% to 33%):

1) Goal setting — focusing on goals lets the brain bring structure to chaos and keeps the amygdala in check;
2) Mental rehearsal — visualization efforts work by continuing to run through an activity in your mind to help reduce the stress in real life;
3) Self talk — helps focus thoughts, because an average person speaks to themselves about 300 to 1,000 words/minute, ensuring our self talk is “positive talk” helps override our fear signals from the amygdala by replacing our bad thoughts with good thoughts;
4) Arousal control — deliberate slow breathing helps control fear and combat panic, long exhaling mimics the bodies relax system.

These four parts in conjunction show the greatest impact.

Tristan, thank you for your excellent addition to this post!

Thank you for your interest.

We make memory mistakes all the time. Modernly, it’s gotten really bad because our memories simply cannot keep up with all that we now see, hear, and experience. One researcher notes that it is incredible we remember anything accurately at all! Here is the kicker, we personally are hard wired to believe our own memories are accurate, true and sound. Yikes!

and..

If a person relies on his or her own memory (which by nature fills in gaps poorly and makes stuff up), that reliance may cause them to ignore other resources available to them, like the recall and memories of others or the software and data systems that companies buy to help retain information and reuse it.

I like it Kev. Always delving into the deeper and more effective means of communication.
