Renewing my Mind: Week 1, Day 1

I want the remainder of my summer to be positive.

I'll focus on Romans 12:2: "Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will."

I started August by not watching negative TV shows and spending that time with my Bible instead.
