Mindfulness – Being In The Present Moment – Episode 14

By a God-incident, I recently stumbled upon an audio book on mindfulness, being in the present moment. It spoke to me in a way that I can not describe. Parts of the book had cautioned that we might not be happy with what we were hearing, but truthfully I was praising God for the God-incidence in the ability to hear something I craved.

When we are not mindful:
  1. Info overload: We are overcome by so much information in our lives and being in the moment is something most people struggle with, myself included
  2. Restless sleep When it was quiet my racing mind caused my thoughts to become scattered. In this podcast we will discuss Are you one of those people who are exhausted but can’t sleep because your mind is racing?
  3. Arriving at a destination when you had no idea how you got there.
  4. Praying and not remembering what you were saying.
  5. Talking to someone and not sure what is being said.

    6. Our minds seem to have a life of their own and we are overcome with thoughts many that are negative in our lives. Mindfulness allows you to be in the moment and I will share with you how important this is for anyone who professes Christianity.

    Why am I sharing this with you?

    1. It can make you really understand yourself.
    2. It is not psycho mumbo jumbo – it makes sense in that we are trusting God.
    3. It can change your life by not allowing negativity (yourself or others towards you) from affecting you or letting it rule your life.
    4. It can help you to corral overwhelming thoughts
    5. It can make you happier!

      6. Sounds like a win-win!

      Mindfulness is a psychological term for what is truthfully a Christian principle.
      1. The Lord lives forever
      2. God is here in this present moment.
      3. God was not created.
      4. God is eternal.
      5. Grace abounds where God is – and He is now – He is here.

        6. Simple right?

        Some basic tenants of mindfulness is to be in the present moment without judgment or criticism.

        Movie – Percy Jackson – ate the lotus flower and didn’t realize how much time has gone by –

        Our lives are wasted by negative thoughts. What is going to happen today, tomorrow, twenty years from now? This happened to me when I learned my oldest was learning delayed I couldn’t imagine what his life would be like with a handicap and NOW I know that I worried for no reason. All that  I imagined was false.

        Being mindful is taking charge of harmful thoughts and realizing that what MIGHT come also might not come. Does this mean we never think or plan – absolutely not! Of course, we do, however, we must realize the reality that our thoughts do not define who we are.

        • Just for today realize that God is here, now. It is a grace-filled moment!
        • If you have trouble sleeping because your mind is racing, get up – get a drink of water, go to the restroom – lay back down, and pray. Thank God for the time to pray for someone else. Sometimes that little bit of movement helps.
        • When you feel like you are in a situation (thoughts overwhelming you or life) breathe. Recently – share DMV story –
        • Realize you are NOT your thoughts –if there are negative thoughts
