July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
| A practice I can begin to help me let go of negative emotions and return to a state of peace is…  Quote: Mindfulness means being awake. It means knowing what you are doing. Kabat-Zinn https://positivepsychology.com/mindfulness-quotes/ One practice I'm always involved in daily. Take a scripture such as Philippians 4:7, John 14:27, or Isaiah 26:3. Keep it in your mind to pull out and think about now and then. " And the peace of God which transcends all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus." Through prayer and study the bible teaches us Mindfulness. Hearts and minds equals emotions and thought processes. We need control of both in order to act and fulfill daily activities in a peaceful state. You can learn mindfulness without Bible. Other systems teach ways to touch the peace that passes understanding. Buddhism, and Zen and other systems also teach mindfulness. Some types of music can bring peace to your mind. King Saul called on David to play his harp to experience peace. Mindfulness teaches a type of study, so you can be constantly aware of the evil attacks against your soul. ![Merit Badge in Courage
