What gets in the way?

What tends to get in the way of continuing in God's word?  Probably business.  Or rather unmindfulness.  I just don't think about it unless I make myself.  I forget.  I get selfish.  Nosy.  Lazy.  There are lots of reasons and none of them good.  I have set up a routine where I pray at least 2 minutes each morning as well as devotionals.  I also have  things I am grateful for each night before bed.  This seems to help but when I write it out it seems so small. 
What are some changes that I can do to bring alignment into God's will for my life?
Well, I can stop focusing on things that don't bring me peace.  Only weigh myself once a week.  Eat according to points and don't worry about it.  Stop worrying in general.  Get more sleep and more time outside away from electronic devices.  Sometimes I hate electronic devices.  Says the woman typing on one now. 

Social Media

This weekend I am going without social media.  I have "put to sleep" some people that just seem to post and post and post and they are so charged and angry and forceful that I needed to get them gone.  I feel at ease almost immediately.  So now I am going to do the whole thing all weekend.  I'll let you know on Monday how it goes.

Press Pause

What are some places or situations in which God is asking me to press pause and give myself a minute to consider how my actions might affect others?    Normally I work out every day.  I have been trying and failing to loose weight for awhile now.  The other day I put out my back (neck and arms) while washing my hair.  Yes, washing my hair.  It has stopped all work outs and a great deal of movement all together; including driving.  The pause button has been pressed.  It's a bit of a relief.  I am not too sure how it affects others, but it has affected me.  I need down time whether I think I do or not. 

Supernatural

As many of you know, Supernatural is coming to an end this season.  In homage to that fact, Lynn S Zubernis has brought together a collection of essays written by various actors, associates, and fans.  "There'll be Peace When You Are Done" is a nod to the unofficial theme song by Kansas, "Carry on my Wayward Son" and the title to the collection.  A collection of essays was written before, "Family Don't End with Blood" and this one may be a little better in some ways.  Some of the writers are Jensen Ackles and fangirl extraordinaire, Alana King.  Some essays are better than others. Most writings are farewell messages to the show, which has been on TV for 15 years and has interwoven itself into the fabric of American culture.  It deserves a farewell tour.   I would recommend this book for any Supernatural fan.  But not the so-so watcher. I received this book from netgalley.

I am too Busy

This morning I said "I love you" to myself in the mirror.  What did I feel?  Well, I immediately started critiquing myself.  So I said it fairly quickly and got out of there.  Especially since I was supposed to be boosting my sexy vibes.  A physical feature I love is probably my boobs.  They are worth a lot.  The inside feature would be intelligence.  I think I'm pretty smart.
