I ignored the Daily Morning Gold Mine far too long.
I was missing out on the most valuable moments of my day.
Treasure trove moments that transform the direction of my life, one day at a time.
I learned that my mind, body and spirit are daily dictated by only 10 percent of my conscious awareness. My experiences are largely shaped by the unconscious …
…completely unaware of the remaining 90 percent of information of a lifetime; deeply formed and ingrained emotional memories, psychological trauma’s and a host of other circumstances were now in total control of directing my every thought word and action,
- trapped by my own mindset
- thought patterns hindering personal progress
- held back by interior barriers…
The insights I received were significantly impressive!
Now What???
What strategic action can be taken to turn decades of ingrained negative thought patterns into a new successful and advantageous mindset?
Our minds are incredibly receptive to intuitive insights and creative flow first thing in the morning.
Upon awakening, the subconscious and non-conscious mind are most accessible, offering tremendous opportunities!
Embracing these significant moments for introspection and guidance from God, shapes our actions and choices for the day at hand.
We experience a powerful spiritual connection that manifests itself in our morning writing.
Now don’t let yourself get overwhelmed at this proposition;
it only takes 3 short minutes to begin, and we can do anything for 3 minutes!
Simple necessary action — Put Pen to Paper …
and witness the profound sense of divine inspiration guiding your thoughts and words.
In my personal experience, as well as in helping others to begin this essential morning practice, putting pen to paper allows for the release and flow of the Holy Spirit’s inspirations.
All that is bound up in us begins to surrender itself to the pen!
On the first day we might simply start by asking a question, and watch the answer flow…
on following days we may simply recall, in writing, all the things we are grateful for and practice deeply associating with each one of them…
write about a current struggle and watch as answers begin to reveal themselves…
ask the Holy Spirit what he has been waiting and wanting to reveal to you…
You can write about anything - it’s your sacred intimate time alone with your Creator!
It’s difficult to fully explain, yet it is palpable, it is a most exhilarating experience that we cannot afford to miss.
Our day to day life will never change as we keep thinking feeling and choosing the same life as we did yesterday, and the day before that, for decades!
As we begin this daily 3 minute practice we will immediately see the results - our thinking feeling and choosing (actions) will be transformed through our newfound insight.
Thinking, Feeling and Choosing dictate all of our Words and Actions. This process, right or wrong, creates our Character and our Personality.
This is great news - we can change!!!
Invest in yourself First.
With the help of God you are creating and building stronger neural pathways for ‘right thinking’ through consistent practice. These new stronger pathways take the place of our old ways of thinking as they literally die off from lack of attention.
First thing in the morning give yourself this precious 3 minute opportunity.
You might even be inspired to sit and write for more than 3 minutes - that’s always a bonus.
Is any of this resonating with you as it did me???
Please, give me the privilege and the honor of sharing in your little miracles in the comments section.
You Can Do This!!!
I’m so excited to hear about your encounters with the divine.
Stay tuned tomorrow…
where we will continue to take deep dives into Cognitive Restructuring Practices.
To be quite honest, I don’t journal even though i always wanted to. I always let the “busyness” of life get in the way. I wake, i say my prayers and then start taking care of my family.
But i am always inspired by women like you and especially articles as this one to really give journaling a go. I know it is good for my spiritual and mental wellbeing.
I will have to do it. 💖
I, too, value my morning prayer and meditation time. Starting my day with God has given me a sense of direction for the day. Upon awakening, I make a bee line to my prayer room. Some mornings begin slow and I know that God is happy that I simply arrived! I start my prayer routine writing a gratitude list. I can wake up cranky, lol, so starting with gratitude the first thing in the morning relieves me of the bondage of my negative thinking. Gratitude draws me into an awareness of God’s blessings in my life, from the moment I open my eyes. My prayer time is spent in Scripture receiving God’s word, knowing I am loved by Him. Scripture then gets me into meditation. I have found that I can write either before, during, or after meditation. As you said, Carrie, my pen flows, and through this process I receive insights and guidance from the Holy Spirit. This practice has strengthened my awareness of God’s Presence throughout the day and helps me to remember that I am loved by Him and He is leading me on a mission to show others how much He loves them too! Thanks for sharing these insights with us Carrie!
