If you’re serious about defeating temptation you must manage your mind and monitor your media intake…choose carefully what you think about.The more you think about something, the stronger it takes hold of you… Since temptation always begins with a thought, the quickest way to neutralize its allure is to turn your attention to something else…change the channel of your mind and get interested in another idea…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…Satan can’t get your attention when your mind is preoccupied with something else…
