“We get so focused on what's in front of us.” - Tami Imlay

PODCAST #144

Happy end of summer! Well, at least it feels like it is fast approaching. The fact that school starts in 2 weeks is my signifier that the end of summer is near. As I reflect on what we did (and we had a fantastic summer) I realized that I have let the activities of the day...the stuff I "need' to get done or "should" get done overshadow what really matters most.

What aligns with my core values; I have slipped into my stress path of the Enneagram. Flat out- I was not really being grateful for the moment or even experiencing the moment. Has this happened to you? Listen in and find out what to do about it!

Key Takeaways:

  1. Slowing down and reflecting on blessings helps combat feelings of anxiety and overwhelm, fostering gratitude and clarity.

  2. Intentionally focusing on the present moment allows us to appreciate the beauty of life and the blessings around us.

  3. Recognizing the importance of gratitude and acknowledging it with detail adds depth to our understanding and enhances our connection with God.

  4. Taking time to analyze our interactions and relationships reveals deeper insights and opportunities for growth.

  5. Embracing the journey of self-discovery and aligning our actions with our why empowers us to overcome obstacles and pursue our God-given purpose.

JOURNAL PROMPT: Take 20 minutes today to reflect on your blessings and gratitude with detail. What insights or revelations do you gain from this intentional practice? How can you apply these insights to enhance your present relationships and interactions, aligning them with your deeper purpose and values?

Episode Chapter Markers:

0:40: I was trying to force things that ordinarily didn't need to be forced

4:39: There's a lot of things that until you start looking back, you don't see how He was there the whole time

7:13: You can do things to help your future or future self out instead of saying no future

10:48: The risk is so low that you can bounce back from it
