Intention

 

Understanding your intention behind every action, every word, every behavior you exude will unlock why you are or are not living in a state of feeling loved and complete.

There is intention behind everything you do. Everything.

Ask yourself, what is the intention behind my words? What am I truly trying to get across with my words? Is it truth? Is it proving I’m right? Is it lifting someone up or is it correction? Are my words really a reflection of me or am I creating an image of how I want others to see me?

The example above has to do with words; how we speak to one another and how we speak to ourselves, but this is just one example. You can apply intention with everything that you do. Place focus on your real intention behind why you’re doing what you’re doing. IF you do this, you will find two scenarios:

 1. You're acting from a place of love and authenticity

-OR-

2. You're acting from a place of insecurity and underlying scared emotions.

This is all about self awareness so that you can shift yourself, shift your thinking, shift your motives, shift your intentions so that you can truly live from a loving place that supports your wholeness.  

It all starts with awareness…and correction is through…intention.

Outside

So often we turn to an outside tangible force to help us, sooth us, gratify us, and yes, even validate us. There are multiple illusions to these outside forces; sure, they can make you happy temporarily, but soon you will be finding another force outside yourself to pick up the slack where the former left off. Surely, there are a lot of fun and enjoyable outside forces, but they should never be used as a crutch to feel wholeness. 

To find permanent soothing, gratification, healing, love, and validation, you must turn inward verses out.

God lives in you.

Under the noise is the silence.

So often we struggle, yet the struggle is an invitation to turn inward.

The answer is never outside…it’s always within.

Once you go in, that’s when you’ll be able to freely enjoy going outside.

In Summary

 

Choose to silence the critical voice that comes at you.

That critical dialog will never serve you.

Yes. Choose.

You can choose to speak kindly to yourself.

You can choose to be for you than against you.

Yes, we are not perfect, so we will make mistakes,

so choose to respond to those mistakes in gentleness.

In summary,

Be Silent.

Be kind. 

Be for you.

Be Gentle.

Choose.

Your Renewal

 

Change must begin with the renewing of your mind. Renewing your mind is simply changing the way you approach thought. Thoughts lead you to belief and action. Action executes behavior which produces results you see in your life.

Do you like the results you see in your life?

Are the thoughts, beliefs, action and behavior you partake in producing any fruit?

If yes, congratulations! Keep up the good work!

If no, then start examining your thought life and start training your mind to switch out old negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

Don’t know how to think nice thoughts about yourself? Then, start learning the bible, and learn the wonderful things God has to say about you; after all, you are HIS masterpiece, learn to say what HE has to say about you.

This is what Renewed Corner is all about…

your renewal.

Inhale in Silence

 

Silence is what will break through the noise

Silence is what will cut down confusion

Silence is what will release the tension

Silence is what will cause you to hear

 

 

Spending time in silence is one very key component in your human development. There is power in silence. Allow yourself to have moments of silence. Take a few breaths in relaxation and allow those breaths to naturally flow through you. In your breath, focus on gentleness, patience, forgiveness, or love and acceptance.

Silence and peace are just a breath away. If you don’t think you have time to spend in silence? I say, you don’t have time not to. When you’re done reading this sentence…inhale in silence.

Monday Mantra

 

 

I am loved unconditionally

 

 

 

 

Scripture Sunday

Ephesians 4:15

¹⁵ “Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will grow to become in every respect the mature body of him who is the head, that is, Christ.”
