Too woo woo to you? Have you ever tried to be more mindful or more in the moment? In today's shorty episode, we are going to learn a bit more about mindfulness. And then I'm going to guide you.Through a short exercise that will prove to you just how easy this process can be. Now, take a big breath, sit back, relax, and let's get started. Mindfulness is a practice that involves bringing one's attention to the present moment with openness, curiosity, and nonjudgment. It's about intentionally paying attention to our thoughts, our emotions, our bodily sensations, our surrounding environment, without getting caught up in past regrets or future worries. All the thinking mindfulness encourages a state of awareness and acceptance of what is happening right now, and this fosters a sense of clarity, calmness, and inner peace. Mindfulness is helpful for mental well being. Because it helps reduce stress. A mindful practice has been shown to reduce stress levels by helping people cultivate a greater sense of calm and relaxation, as well as improving their ability to cope with stressors in life. It also helps us with emotional regulation by increasing the awareness of our emotions and developing the capacity to observe them without reacting. This leads to greater emotional resilience and stability. Mindfulness is also helpful because it helps improve our focus and concentration. Regular mindfulness practices strengthen the ability to sustain attention and focus on tasks, which of course, leads to improved concentration, productivity, and cognitive performance. So really, all that's saying is we can get more done. We can be more efficient at getting the things done so we can get them done quicker and have more time for ourselves. And lastly, I just wanted to mention that mindfulness is helpful because it helps us with our relationships. Practicing mindfulness can lead to more fulfilling relationships by promoting active listening, empathy, and compassionate communication. Mindfulness helps individuals become more attuned to the needs and experiences of others, fostering deeper connection and intimacy. There are a few different aspects of.Mindfulness that typically include focusing on theBreath, being aware of our surroundings, being.Aware of our sensations, observations that are.Nonjudgmental, and just a deepening sense of relaxation. Now that we've learned a little bit.About mindfulness, I want to lead you.On an easy breathing exercise. However, this exercise does ask you to close your eyes. So if you are driving, please do not close your eyes. Please keep your eyes open and focused on your task at hand. This exercise is truly meant for when you are not engaged in any kind of activity like that. If you are in a place where you are able to close your eyes, please find a comfortable seated position. Rest your hands on your lap or your knees, then close your eyes if it feels comfortable for you, or soften your gaze and focus on a spot in front of you. Take a few deep breaths, inhaling through your nose and exhaling through your mouth, allowing yourself to release any tension or stress. With each exhale. Begin to shift your.Attention to the natural rhythm of your breath. Notice the sensation of the breath as it enters your nose and leaves your nose. Notice sensation of your chest as it rises and falls as it expands and contracts. Without trying to control your breath, simply observe it as it flows in and out, moment by moment. If your mind wanders or becomes distracted, gently guide it back. Go back to focusing on your breath with kindness and patience. Continue to breathe mindfully for a few moments, allowing yourself to relax more deeply with each. Inhale and exhale. Feel a sense of calm and presence wash over you as you remain fully engaged with the breath and the present moment. When you are ready, gently open your eyes and take a moment to notice how you feel. Carry this sense of mindfulness and relaxation with you as you continue with your day. This simple mindfulness breathing exercise can be practiced anytime, anywhere, providing that you are not operating machinery or driving, and serves as a powerful tool for promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and cultivating mindfulness in daily life.

While many of us are very comfortable speaking in front of a small group the thought of addressing 50 - 60 or a hundred or more terrifies a lot of speakers. Why is it so and what can you do about it? TRANSCRIPT: Does the thought of giving a speech to hundreds of people make you nervous? Here's a simple trick for being comfortable when speaking to a large audience.  There are plenty of very capable speakers who turn pale when told the going to have to speak to a large audience. They're very comfortable in front of small groups but are filled with dread when the number climbs to 40 or 50 or more. and don't even mention 2 or 3 hundred. So what's the issue? It's just a group of people only more of them. The principle of public speaking remain the same no matter the size of the audience. So how do you overcome this irrational fear? For a start don't see the crowd as a seething 400 eyed multi headed monster just waiting to chew you up and spit you out. No matter how big the group its just like a small audience made up of every day folk like you and me. These people in the audience are the same people you talk to each day in ordinary conversations and they will respond in the same way. The same passion and emotion you bring to speaking with another person, needs to be there when that person is gathered in a crowd no matter how big or small it is. So how do you put that into action. You have to actually speak to your audience as individuals, rather than as a group. If the lights are up make eye contact with one person for a few seconds, then move on and connect with another individual, and so on.  If the lights are down, or the event is huge and you're so far away that you can't make out individual faces, then speak to each section of the audience. Each person will think you're talking directly to them. Now you'll feel like, you're speaking to a small group—the type of audience that never made you anxious in the first place. You're having a conversation with a few people who share your interest in this topic. Let's face it You're at your best when you're speaking one-on-one, that is, when you're conversational. I'l be very frank here - the public speaking situation, particularly speaking to a large group of people is artificial, and we have to learn how to handle ourselves in that situation . From caveman days in terms of evolution, we're wired to speak to family, to a small group around a fire, or to a members of our tribe. Facing hundreds of people, all of whom are staring at us waiting for us to entertain or inform them, can play to our primitive instincts like a hostile situation.    But it's just something that in our modern professional lives, we have to learn to live with and master. But remember Everyone you're speaking to is wired the same way you are. They too like small, intimate chats that are basically a conversation around that campfire. They're comfortable listening and responding to someone they feel close to. So that's why the best speakers make it feel like an almost one on one conversation - that gets back to eye contact - body language - warmth and passion in your voice and good story telling. So when confronted by a big audience have that conversation with each small group at a time. Whatever the numbers of attendees involved, remember it's just a conversation

Ephesians 5:24 - Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. Transcript: Does your church submit to Christ? In Ephesians Chapter five, Verse 24 we read, Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Transcript -- Does using digital technologies rewire children’s brains for better or for worse? Is this new text ‘slang’ damaging children’s literacy skills or is it the sign of a creative new genesis of language? There’s more to learning than simply inputting knowledge and experiences into the brain. Understanding the different ways in which we learn is the starting point for understanding development. How do the social and other experiences that digital technology offers influence our ability to learn or to retain new information, and do these experiences actually affect how we think, feel and develop?
