I Hate Church To Don’t List

This site came pretty highly recommended and since I am an online adventurer, I thought to myself, I might as well give this a shot. After reading a bit of the post below, I had a Matrix Keanu Reeves moment… not Neo. Literally, a Keanu moment and said, “Whoaaaaaa.” I was even watching my own reflection in the glass window as I said it, so it appeared in slow motion. Yes, that – really – happened. This was more of the Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure Keanu moment… can you remember way back then?
Read below and maybe you can use a bit of this in your daily life to help calm the waves of overly multi tasking.
Excerpt from www.ZenHabits.com, written by Leo Babauta
It’s a bias of our culture that stillness is regarded as lazy, as being stuck in inaction, as a negative. It’s not. It’s an action, and a powerful one. What’s more, it can change your day, and in doing so change your life. You’re in the middle of a frazzled day, swamped by work and meetings and emails and interruptions, or hassled by kids and phone calls and errands and chores.
You pause. Stay still for a minute, and breathe. You close your eyes, and find a stillness within yourself. This stillness spreads to the rest of your body, and to your mind. It calms you, centers you, focuses you on what you’re doing right now, not on all you have to do and all that has happened.
Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God! I will be honored by every nation. I will be honored throughout the world.”
Not gonna lie, totally guilty of having too much happening, and – for- no – apparent – reason. Laptop turns on, television turns on, obviously have to switch my mobile on to control my music in the house… thanks to the Apple Remote App. We juggle multiple projects during the day, on our phone, computer and in our personal life. How – can – this – be – good?
I recently heard a friend tell me: don’t focus so much on my to do list but rather on my to don’t list. Clarify by exclusion.v If it doesn’t fit in your plan of attack… then it’s out. O – U – T.
