Habits

I am working on habits more and the feeling of responsibility in following through is great. Some for sure are not as intense as others. The responsibility of changing some and adding others is allowing me to see an improvement in my life. Of course, some of the habits are to break others.

Breaking habits is a two fold responsibility. First, becoming responsible for the fact that we are doing something that is not good/healthy for us. Secondly, becoming responsible for for finding a good habit to replace the bad habit. 

Right now I am working on playing games all the time when I am not working. Obviously a bad habit. It is not totally bad playing games it is the endless hours that do not produce anything worthwhile. So, how have I decided to stop wasting this time? I have read an article on “Pocket” everyday, ok almost every day. I listen to a book as much. I watch a “TED” session about the same amount. Plus one that I do almost perfectly every day and do a mindful meditation. With others and so to be added. I am not swearing off game playing I am just taking control of the time being spent on them.

The good thing about the things I have mentioned is all are apps, thank God, for technology. With help of these apps and the habits they bring along with them I am able to find others. Mindfulness helps me focus on finding the habits I want to get rid of plus some I want to add. With “Pocket” and “TED” I get a variety of topics so I am able increase my knowledge as well as find things to change.

What is Body Builders?

Body Building is not about a program or a course. It is at abiding in Christ and since we are the Body of Christ we need to start learning to abide here and now. The main part of abiding is getting to know and understanding our brothers and sisters. How do we do that, we slow down and listen to each other.  A body’s part communicate all the time to function correctly. The body understands that it has to work together as the head directs or otherwise it dies. So, why does the Body of Christ think that we can survive? How do we change the attitude that our relationship with Christ is a personal thing? The New Testament regularly points towards oneness in Christ.

Self responsibility

Ok, self responsibility is difficult. As you can see by the length of time since my last post. This blog started as part of my habit forming. I am grown tired of myself as well as others. By blogging I will be able do both but in the best way keep myself responsible.  This blog was going to be a rant against society. However, it is going to become something of what I really want which is to hopefully have a discussion with you. I truly believe today society is very polarized so it is very difficult to hold a real conversation about anything.  I have learned through experience that people go through times, especially as youth, where we are polarized. The question is how do we teach ourselves about dualism. Where we are open to both sides even when we have strong beliefs and feelings about something. I have been doing a lot of watching, reading and listening to different things about habits and a variety of topics. I have found some strong feelings a raised where I disagreed or ...

Customer Service

I work and have most of my life in customer service and one thing I think makes a huge difference is when you provide the service without really expecting anything in return. Or depending on the make sure the job making sure that the is in way most convenient for the customer and not for the person putting it out.  Attitude in every area of life needs to focus on others but especially in customer service. Just a thought about the term “customer service” which to me seems to imply for service of customer. I’m pretty sure that all of us have had a few really bad experiences with customer service. Best way to provide the best customer service, even if it is to your love ones, is the Golden Rule “Do onto others as you would have them do to you.” I was thinking about this on the way home from work today and thought that if I wanted to do this for Christ I had to make it something I didn’t really have to think about. For me customer service really is not that difficult because I get a go...
