We have this tremendous gift of a mind that processes information.  Our brain has certain processes that require no thought or effort on our part like the part that tells the cell to travel through our blood stream or take a breath in and out.  This processing of information that requires thought therefore gives us many options.  Much of what we have done as a result of evolution is taken to creating the same automation for those that could require conscious thought.  Our brain so wants to help us out that it figures if it works for breath and messages through the spinal column then why not use what is already stored in the mind to make every other decision?  This means that we often are making decisions about things not based on what is actually happening but on a programming set in place from some experience from the past. This is where the gift of being present in the moment allows for creation.  If we stop and paused and observe what is actually happening before all the chatter and categorization of our mind occurs we can make a conscious choice of how to act in a specific situation.  God is calling us to be an observer of our life and our mind.  We need not judge it, but start by being present to it.  My prayer for us today is that we have the willingness to take the pause that comes with a breath and instead of reacting to a situation simply observe it and see what information we can gather.  Make it a great one!  Peace~Colleen
