Ordinary:Overcoming the Battles of the Mind: A Reminder to Refocus File: #JNAFILES (xviii) ----- "We've overcome mental obstacles before, and we can do it again. It's just a matter of refocusing our attention on what truly matters - being present and living our lives with intention." Hi, I'm feeling poetic today, so lets see if I can share some thoughts I had from this morning (Monday morning) of starting the day off In a not so awesome way. Btw - shout out to "The Ordinals Show" On twitter for @patrickWStanley shouting out the idea of people inscribing their Blogs via the Ordinal Protocol. It was a cool insight, And I honestly don't know where all this is heading, but I guess we early! Alright, I digress LOL, back to this Ordinary Conversation... The battles of the mind, Especially when life's challenges feel multiplied, is something that you and I have overcome On countless occasions in our life. We just forget! Its easy to at This pace of life. Often times we forget that we've been here before and have Overcome the mental obstacles on numerous accounts. When we accept that life's Ebbs and flows are inevitable, we can Begin to focus on how to set ourselves up for success on both fronts. Where are we placing The value? On the present problems or on the present Being? The present problems are Intoxicating and distracting. We have to dig deep and focus on just being, just feeling, what our Intentions & motivations are as we live this life! Can't continue to Give up our lives to problems that often times arise because of A lack in mental accountability. Often times a little change of state or a little change of perspective Will get us back on track, but we have to be willing to go there. We have to be willing to, as crazy as this sounds, ignore/avoid/shift Our attention away from the present problems, back to remembering Who we are what we actually control. ----- Prev File ID: 7723f71fcbea21d61ac25952202895e466b6e28a7c8e44172e485302c058f2c4i0 ----- - JNA
