FEEDING OUR MINDS

-
Have you read and heard the news today, how are we feeling right now?  Are you ready to go exploring 
or sit in the armchair; Please read on.
"Is it a healthy diet or a fast food fix."
How do we feed our mind within the world around us? Are we feeding it breakfast, lunch, supper and is
it a healthy diet or a fast food fix. Our digestion is in important key, it is important because it has an impact on or mental health as well as our physical health.

We can obtain negativity from anywhere, switching on the TV and bam it’s there right in front of us.
The news broadsheet thrives on giving it that dangerous fast food painful gut ache.  When was the last
 time you heard good news about any current situation or experience that lasted for about twenty minutes.  
Of course, we read and hear good news but often it just a quick dusting of the icing sugar.  Yes, 
it is important to inform ourselves with the news, but try not to let it consume you; Take the meat, 
but do not chew the fat.
"Weakens the mind and increases the anxiety."
The two key words media often uses is 'Could or Should'. These two words hold no facts, instead its often the get out clause the media's way of safeguarding themselves in reporting.  
from a simple Yes or No, it often found in politicians as well. They struggle to feed us with a controlled diet, again the fast food fix to hunger. This weakens the mind with increased anxiety and fear.

A local footpath that has been
over by nettles and weeds
Social media are taking a huge president in modern day society, and this is increasing as we are in such relying on it more. It is 
easy just to click and share. But so often is the case that our own personal media pages are just full of shared likes of
the opinions of others and memes.  So often we fail to take full notice and explore its true origins of the truth it is feeding the 
mind.  Just think the dangerous risk taker within your if you were to share your heart, not in a bitter cruel way but in 
what personal bring you joy,family photo a kind word from your own heart not that shared from the hearts of others.


"Giving the world authentic positivity"
Okay let's pause, and breath hear for a moment .......... !
We cannot fail to notice that our world in three months has changed dramatically without warning or control. The greatest way we can change the negatives, is if we turn them into giving the world authentic positivity.

Only feed your mind with the goodness it deserves, yes, you can be angry it is natural human instinct from time to time. Never let it consume you, with spiralling negativity that end up like spaghetti mess in your mind.  For the best person you can be is simply just to be yourself.

CHALLENGE:
 Find a space clear your mind of all the junk; Travel through your social media and browser history and clear out all the things that are not authentic from yourself, the junk
food that fills our live, minds and time.  Take a piece of paper and at the end of the day make yourself an original authentic gratitude list. If we be kind and gentle towards andwith each other, why can't we be that towards ourselves?

Every mind matters, Feeding it matters, What you feed it matters!........ 

Be Safe, Be Well, Be Blessed.

TAKE A BREAK

"Hi, how are you, how you doing?...." I can't believe it's been a week since I boarded a train to Criccieth at 9am. I know God was in it especially train travel and meeting new people (no anxiety - ptl). At 1am Sunday I wrote my story plus another little story (I don't write stories, so watch this space), Making it 8 stories written since last years retreat. I met some amazing fellow Christian writers, old and friends; some I've only met via a screen.  Have  you ever heard of the Biblical friends Mary and Martha. Mary, is the artistic poetic philosopher, who is thrilled to just bask in the moment. She is stirred, thrilled, touched and inspired by the presence of Jesus. Maratha, is certainly a doer, she worked her fingers to the bone in her super-efficient way. Yet, here in the story, Jesus rebukes Martha, It’s a gentle rebuke. I guess I've been a bit of Maratha always doing and finding it to rest.  "There was long moments of stillness and silence....

GETTING PUBLISHED WITH KDP

Very recently several people have asked me about my experiences and knowledge of Kindle Direct Publishing (kdp for short). So I thought as I'm no professor in kdp we'd explore it together. I realise this may not be a subject for everyone, as most of my other blogs have been. So, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) is a self-publishing platform that allows authors to publish and sell books on Amazon: There are no upfront costs or inventory orders required to publish with KDP. Authors retain full rights to their books, which is not typical with traditional publishing houses. As the Author can have direct access to their books on Amazon and can create a product detail page. As an Author you can make your books available to readers around the world. You have control over your book's content, design, price, audience. But having said that, please be aware, as I have found, you might have to negotiate book sizes. An author can earn anything up to 70% royalty. Also as an au...

TEN YEARS A WRITER

  T oday I’m celebrating ten years since the start of my writing journey. It all started back in 2015. I had already many years of creativity behind me especially card making and embroidery. I never even considered ten years later I would become the writer I am today. It all started back in 2015, circumstances at the time weren’t great and often my frustrations would often be active or verbal. Several people in my home church including the pastor at the time Derek Hughes encouraged me to keep a written journal. It really helped me pen my frustrations down on paper than outwardly getting my frustrations out on others. During this season I really felt the presence of Jesus helping and guiding me. It was about a year and a half of journaling, that I was unknowingly penning my daily journal in poetry form.  Over the years my poetry has developed: not only writing privately but also getting commissions from the church and other platforms I’m involved with. In 2018 my writin...
