I chose the word mindfulness because it reminds me to remain in the present and focus on what’s in front of me at that very moment. It reminds me not to regret or relive past mistakes or to be anxious about the future. Rather, it forces me to think about what and why I am thinking or feeling. It also makes me more grateful for what I have at the present moment since I am not focused on the past or future. Is what I am doing now somehow bringing glory and honor to God? In the midst of difficult circumstances, what am I supposed to be learning or what light should I be shining on others?
