Download or read book Mini Moments of Value written by Donna L. Smith and published by Christian Faith Publishing, Inc.. This book was released on 2024-08-13 with total page 178 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mini Moments of Value is a comprehensive list of essential Christian character values. It is unusual for a book to contain more than just a few values in specific scriptures, such as 1 Peter 1, Romans 12, or Galatians 5. In this book, Donna writes about many values. She briefly describes each value, with a scriptural reference to that value. She gives the reader an opportunity not only to read something and then lay the book down but also to meditate on the written description of the value. The scripture(s) presented on day one assists the individual in learning from a scriptural standpoint. Then, with the Hebrew and Greek definitions included, the reader can gain a further understanding of the meaning of that value. Donna engages the reader to learn more about this value by searching for scriptures that give more insight. The reader is then asked to ponder and write a prayer about the value, using the scriptures as a guide. This helps one develop these characteristics in one's own life. Finally, the reader can allow this value to be lived out through practical demonstration or application in his/her own life and then in that of his/her family. The greatest gift that anyone can give to someone else, besides the Gospel of Jesus Christ, is to be a living example through practical application and instill value into the lives of others. This reflects God's love for humanity. The real value is touching the lives of yourself and others in "mini moments." It doesn't take hours. By touching one person at a time, we all can make the world a better place. This book certainly encourages living life in such a way that others see Jesus Christ and the best that one can become. This is a great study book for individuals, families, or various groups.

Download or read book 8 Keys to Practicing Mindfulness Practical Strategies for Emotional Health and Well being 8 Keys to Mental Health written by Manuela Mischke Reeds and published by W. W. Norton & Company. This book was released on 2015-06-22 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Learning how to pay attention to the present moment. Becoming mindful is about the small, everyday things such as pausing to take a breath before you drive off in a hurry or considering the food that will nourish your body before a meal. Or it can mean checking in with yourself before responding to a challenging email or text. Every moment of our lives can become an opportunity to practice mindfulness. This book will invite you to sharpen your awareness and ask yourself with more frequency, “What do I notice right now?” or “How do I need to respond or be with this situation?” These seemingly tiny moments of noticing yourself can have a major impact on your life as you learn to track habitual patterns and awaken to change. Practicing mindfulness is not about being better by figuring it all out. It is about tolerating the moments when you don’t know or learning to be more curious about the struggle. Here you will learn how to establish a basic practice with guidelines for posture and breathing as well as various options for meditations that involve sitting, walking, gently moving or lying down. You can try these exercises at your lunch break, before you rise or fall asleep. But best of all is for you to sprinkle mindfulness throughout your day. Whether you are new to mindfulness or a seasoned practitioner, you can make the conscious decision to change your approach to life. Moment by moment you have the opportunity to cultivate awareness that will make a difference in how you engage with the world on a daily basis.

Download or read book The Positive Impact Mindset written by Katrin Muff and published by Taylor & Francis. This book was released on 2022-12-29 with total page 133 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We are facing a new and urgent challenge when collaborating across organizations, and with broader stakeholder groups: how to overcome polarization. It has never been harder to find a common vision, when opinions are often considered as facts. This book empowers changemakers and business leaders to understand how successful organizations in the 21st century require leaders to become fluent in collaborating outside of traditional business boundaries. Such collaboration often involves working with parties that hold very different values, opinions and priorities, and working with them requires new skills. Building on the book Five Superpowers for Co-Creators, Katrin Muff presents a number of real-world examples that demonstrate how organizations have successfully managed to address these challenges. Examples of such unlikely but successful cross-sector collaboration include a project addressing plastic waste in Switzerland, and two European city government projects that reached out beyond organizational boundaries. The book features many stories of trial and error in overcoming the societal polarization gap. From all these insights emerges clear guidance as to how leaders and organizations can transform to new ‘outside-in’ mindsets to overcome polarization and develop a Positive Impact Mindset. The book is ideal for use by facilitators, educators, business and political leaders, and consultants, who are seeking solutions within an often polarized world to achieve sustainable change and a positive impact.

Download or read book Moving Pictures written by Will Romano and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2023-01-02 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There's nothing like it in the Rush catalog—or, indeed, in the entire prog-rock canon. Stylistically expansive and intellectually ambitious, 1981's Moving Pictures was a landmark release, one that helped define the progressive genre and that ensured Rush's place in the rock pantheon. In this definitive account of the album's creation and legacy, author Will Romano explores the rare alchemy behind a record that continues to inspire musicians and listeners even today. While Permanent Waves and Hemispheres were important releases in Rush's evolution as a band, Moving Pictures marked a turning point for the Canadian trio in more ways than one. It was not only a creative triumph but a commercial one, with sales and airplay that blasted them into the stratosphere of rock stardom. Beyond the individual power of its seven songs, however, the key to its lasting significance is the distinctive overarching vision that Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson, and Neil Peart brought to the album. As Romano shows, Moving Pictures reconciled opposing creative sensibilities to a remarkable degree, giving the record real thematic depth while at the same time rendering it the very antithesis of a "concept album." Each track was carefully layered with cinematic and multisensory meaning, paradoxically using music to evoke experiences beyond the strictly aural. Consistently insightful and frequently surprising, this book is filled with behind-the-scenes details based on new research and interviews, and it guides readers through the album's dizzying array of allusions and inspirations. Newbies and fervent Rush fans alike will find this an illuminating exploration of one of the band's most enduring achievements.
