Psychological warfare is a war that affects the mind, and it can also cause health problems. Psychological warfare hinders people from actively thinking in the present or looking towards the future, rendering them unable to think about their lives because of imaginary fears, anxiety, frustration, and depression. The wars that are going on right now are having a psychological impact on people, making them uncomfortable/ill at ease?
Psychological warfare (i.e. the war on the mind) is particularly damaging, burdening society with many fears and worries. Ways of dealing with psychological warfare.
Positive thinking
Constantly following the news makes us think negatively and leaves us feeling incapable of thinking positively, whether about the cost of living or the inability to think about the practical aspects of life. Positive thinking brings with it positivity, hope, and peace. Joy, love, and the capacity to think positively are important in enabling us to live well and with hope, armed with positive thoughts about the future and filtering out the negative and rumors about how things may get worse, instead of adopting a negative mindset that insists that life will never be good.
Let us think positively and not see everything as bleak, for there is hope in the midst of the circumstances.
Exercise/Exertion
Talking walks in nature can calm us down in the midst of the circumstances. Being able to calm down requires making an effort to give our minds a respite from the negative thinking and taking a minute or longer throughout the day to breathe in and breathe out without thinking (while inhaling and exhaling) negative thoughts and ruminating that creates mental tension. The solution is to exert oneself, for instance, by playing a sport or taking a walk to the market, anything that breaks up the daily routine and provides relief from ruminating about work or other issues related to the news and to life.
The Lord did not promise us a life free of problems or wars. In His Word the Lord urges us not to fear because He is Emmanuel, God with us in every circumstance. Don’t let psychological warfare to control you with fears and mental burdens, renew your peace in the Lord, call on Him to fill your heart today.
Matthew 24:6 You will hear of wars and rumors of wars, but see to it that you are not alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come.
