Sometimes we rush through our days having so many distractions and responsibilities that we forget to slow down a little and enjoy the moment.
Sadly, most of our thoughts end up stuck in the future or the past and by the time we know it, the day is gone. We’re on autopilot so much that we forget to have moments of being fully being present and engaged in each activity and each moment.
Slowing down and re-focusing our attention on the present moment takes practice. It’s not just a nice thought to have. It actually requires us to choose to practice each moment being fully there and fully present.
I believe that God created Day and night for a reason. Night time is our reminder to slow down, to rest, sleep and renew our minds and our bodies. A time for us to turn off the constant chatter of our thoughts, the stress and the distractions of our day and to allow ourselves to rest and recover.
I also believe that God our Father wants us to focus on taking in that sunrise as a way of seeing a new day as a new opportunity for us to choose that renewal for ourselves. A new opportunity to be more present and focused on today.
God doesn’t want us to run faster than we have strength, or to let our minds constantly dictate what we should think and do. We have the power each day and each moment to CHOOSE how to show up this very moment. To check our thoughts and see if they’re helpful and useful for us. God would want us to choose to do those things that can bring light into our souls, peace to our minds greater love to our hearts and health to our bodies.
He wants us to focus on taking things ONE DAY AT A TIME. The more that we’re able to enjoy the DAILY BLESSINGS, the “daily Bread” that God gives us & the daily energy and mercy that we’re able to receive from Him, the happier and more peaceful our lives will be.
One of the best ways to practice being present is to focus on our senses or 5,4,3,2,1. What do we see, hear, feel, smell and taste. We practice this in class almost every week to helps us bring our attention to the present. The more we’re able to make opportunities to practice being present, the better we will feel knowing that we’re actually living this very moment to the fullest.
Let’s practice making a conscious effort to enjoy each day, to give service, help others and most importantly to choose how to react to our thoughts. We can allow ourselves to feel our feelings and also choose to invite peace in that very moment.
We can focus our mind on scriptures or positive affirmations when we need to lift our focus. Some of my favorite affirmations are
I am a daughter of God, divine light is within me and around me. I am aligned and supported by my Father in Heaven and All is well.
I am clear, focused and efficient in my work today.
I am peaceful, joyful and patient with my kids and friends.
I flow through the day with the spirit, ease and grace.
I listen for guidance and follow my inner voice.
I have all the time I need for all I need to do.
These are some of the examples of affirmations that I use. Having affirmations and scriptures that help us is so important for us to be able to take it one day at a time and really be able to enjoy our life. He counsels us to take it one day at a time.
Mathew 6:34
Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take Thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
He wants us to remember to not worry about tomorrow. The things of tomorrow will work out the way they’re meant to and according to His will. He doesn’t want us to be so focused about Tomorrow, instead He wants us to think about what we can do today.
So, I invite you to Trust in God and trust in His love. Trust that He will provide for you in His way and in His timing. Let go of those feelings of stress, anxiety and fear. Instead, trust in the being who created the universe and who knows the end from the beginning. The one who KNOWS YOU! LOVES YOU & has His own perfect plan for your life, for what you’re meant to go through, overcome and rejoice in…It’s all in HIS HANDS & HE LOVES YOU!!! ❤️ So, choose to live this day in Joy and feeling blessed.
Remember to take it one step at a time, one day at a time. Enjoy the blessings, the little moments and you will feel amazing in knowing that you’re enjoying your most precious DAILY blessings. Focus on just TODAY. Feel the love and the blessing of having those around you. Be Glad & make today an amazing day to be present. ☀️ God will bless you and take care of you. Trust in Him & He’ll take care of the rest. For now, just focus on today & do your best.
Psalm 118:24
This is the day which the Lord hath made; We will rejoice and be glad in it.
