  Speaker 1: I don't know about the rest of you, but where
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: has this month gone? I mean, January is getting ready
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: to cross the finish line. We're about a week out
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: from wrapping up this month, and we just started the
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: new year. And I bet you are probably off to
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: a fast start. And for some maybe you weren't off
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: to a fast start. But it certainly feels like things
• 0:46
  Speaker 1: are picking up speed right now, which is expected. And
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I was thinking back to a few months ago when
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: a friend of mine felt as though she was in
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: a very quiet season, that things weren't moving as quickly.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: And I always remind people when I hear people so
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to speak, complain about those moments is cherish those moments.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: Look at those times as good opportunities, as actual literal
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: gold Those are golden moments that you get when you
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: are not in a busy season, when rest comes without friction.
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: I mean, you could just ease into your day and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: ease into your routine and you don't feel rushed, you
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: don't feel like you have to be everywhere and do everything.
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: And now you're in a season for whatever reason, where
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: you have to sit and wait, and it doesn't feel right.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: It doesn't sit well because you're used to everything picking
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: up And I told my friend at the time, and
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: we've had this conversations a multitude of times. Allow these
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: intentional moments. Cherish these intentional moments, because just like that,
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: life will come at you fast. Just like that, your
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: busy routine is going to get busier, You're going to
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: pick up steam. That's what I want to talk about
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: today because I feel like so many of you out
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: there are not tuning into your intentional moments. You're not
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: creating the intentional moments. Think about that red light moment
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: you're stopped at a red light. Keyword there is, you're stopped,
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: you are at pause. How many of us are taking
• 2:49
  Speaker 1: a deep breath in that moment and noticing, my gosh,
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: I've gotten through this day. Where is where's a weight
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that I'm carrying? A weight? The weightiness of this moment?
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: Where where do I feel it in my body? Don't
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: we don't take time to feel And I'm just challenging
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: you right now because we all get stopped at the
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: red light. What are we doing at that red light?
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: Some of us are looking down at our phones or
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: you know where this is your moments, This is your
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: moment to be in tune with you, in tune with
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what emotions carried you through today or what emotions you
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: need to carry you through to today. Take advantage of
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: those moments. I want you to really think about intentional moments.
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: What about that first I listen, I cherish my morning coffee.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: I do, I really do. I like the smell of coffee.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I like the process of brewing the coffee. I use
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: a cure. So I have the pod and I have
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: it all set up. I have my you know, my
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: sweeteners ready with the different flavors, and I have my
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: cream and I am ready when it's time to take
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: the first sip of my coffee. That is a moment. Listen,
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: I want you to start looking around in your life
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: and feeling allowing yourself to be in the moment and
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: that moment of coffee, that first sip moment, Okay, that's
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: what I'm calling it, the first hip moment that allows
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: me to be in tune with the taste. What if
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: you took that moment just I got the stoplight and
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: you're like, what do I need today? What emotions carried me?
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: What if you took that first sip moment and you said,
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna mark my intention with this first sip that
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna go through today with this type of response.
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: I'm not gonna allow anything or anyone to change how
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I respond because I want to manage my emotions. I
• 5:06
  Speaker 1: want to be honest with what is what I'm feeling.
• 5:10
  Speaker 1: What if you took that first sip, and with that
• 5:13
  Speaker 1: first sip, instead of being distracted by social media or
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: distracted by something else, that you made it a moment
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: for you to be intentional with the way you start
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: your day. You know, one thing I cherish as a parent,
• 5:29
  Speaker 1: as a wife, as a friend is the moment you
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: get and I'm getting emotional about this right now, the
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: moment you get that I got I made it, I
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: made it mom, I made it, I'm at my destination.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: I just got here. There's something in that moment that
• 5:47
  Speaker 1: I don't think we spend enough time to allow that
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: punctuation to come into that statement. I made it, I
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: made it home, I made it safe, made it to
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: my destination, I got on my flight. Whatever. I want
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: you to start to realize from now on when you
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: get a message like that, that there is peace in
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: those simple words. You just received a beautiful gift of
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: peace to know that you're loved one, to know that
• 6:27
  Speaker 1: somebody you care about has left your side, left your
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: sight off to a new spot, and to recognize that, wow,
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: they made it, they made it safely, they made it home,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: they made it wherever. It is such a beautiful gift
• 6:45
  Speaker 1: to receive that, and I don't think many of you
• 6:50
  Speaker 1: are taking advantage and recognizing that moment of peace that
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: you just received. This is one of my favorite ones.
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: You know, I remember and I definitely appreciated all of
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: those sunny summer mornings, sunny summer evenings, sunny summer runs, okay,
• 7:17
  Speaker 1: but honestly, just those moments of being outside, those moments
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: of you know, getting home on a Saturday morning after
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: my workout and sitting on the deck in quiet with
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: that cup of coffee many of times right, and just
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: reflecting on the fact that I was able to get
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: up and move throughout the day, and you know, I
• 7:41
  Speaker 1: have my vehicle. I mean, just those little things that
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: you know, I often think about it like this. There
• 7:49
  Speaker 1: are things I'm blessed with that there are people who
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: are praying for the very things that I take for granted,
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: and that helps me to put into perspective, right, because
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: I think we were all there at one point. You
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: are probably living out a blessing that you have that
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: you don't even think is a blessing anymore, because you
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: know you've been in your house for a while. You
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: got your car. Maybe, for example, I got my car
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: back in the summer, right. You know it's an old
• 8:17
  Speaker 1: car now, right, something, But for somebody else that's a
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: big deal. And I think a lot of time people
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: just go through our day, we go through our life,
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: and we don't even think about what that experience of
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: having that car is. We don't think about it, even
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: though we can seize those quiet moments and listen. I
• 8:37
  Speaker 1: know it's not a sunny summer day right now, but
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: there are moments in the morning where I get up
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: before my family and I can sit at my kitchen
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: table before my coffee while I'm in my devotion, and
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: I can just be grateful that upstairs in my house
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: are three people I love and three people that love me,
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: and that's gift. That's a blessing. Think about those small actions, right.
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: And I've had to do this. I've had to psych
• 9:09
  Speaker 1: myself out many times when I'm say, for example, washing
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: the dishes, and I'm like, man, I gotta wash these dishes.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: And I start thinking about the fact that I have
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: dishes to wash. There are people here consuming things that
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: require me to be in this moment right now of
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: being the person to manage the dishes. And in that moment,
• 9:31
  Speaker 1: I know it sounds kind of crazy, but I'm grateful.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: Yeah I gotta do the dishes, or yeah, the dishes
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: are there for somebody to do them. And it looks
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: like it's me, but I'm grateful that I have people.
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: It just tells me there are people here that are
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: consuming things. Thank God for that. Right there are just
• 9:52
  Speaker 1: many moments I want you to be intentional about, you know,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: maybe going to the grocery store and having a conversation
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: with a stranger, somebody hold the door open for you.
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: There's so many moments, magical moments, simple moments, first sip moments,
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: stoplight moments. There are moments throughout your day. I guarantee
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: you right now that if you were to just take
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: a moment to recognize where you are, what you're doing.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: I mean something as simple as checking your body. And
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about looking in the mirror. I'm just
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: talking about the gratitude of the breath that you can
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: take and that your heart is beating, and that you're here.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: You know, I often say when I get to my
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: car in the afternoon, I made it. I made it
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: through this day. And you know, some days, especially, you
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: know when you're getting off work, it's some of those
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: days are challenging. And to know that you made it
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: through the day. You didn't lose your mind, you didn't
• 10:51
  Speaker 1: lose your yourself, You stayed with your responses. You manage
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: those responses the way you wanted to you and you're
• 11:03
  Speaker 1: you made it. Those are great things to be mindful of.
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: Those are great moments. And I know it feels like, man,
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: these are just little things, right, These are little moments.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: But these little moments, they don't change your life all
• 11:24
  Speaker 1: at once. I recognize it doesn't change your life all
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: at once, but it changes how you experience life. I
