How 30 minutes more per Morning Changed my Life - Part 4

Spirit

          I guess I could have seen the connection between the physical and mental when I started as I am sure there is plenty of research to back up the claim. However, what I did not expect was the tremendous spiritual growth I would experience along the way. While I could see how this is less connected to my newfound routine, I still believe that a line can be drawn back to the physical work.

          I consider myself to be a strong person of faith, and I know that my relationship with God has been stronger than it has ever been, but I believe that this relationship (like any relationship) requires work and maintenance. In a way, I believe I had gotten lazy in my faith in that I did not put in the effort to grow my connection with Him; I had just been settled in to a routine. So, as I began to feel a change in me, I began to channel the positivity in to my faith, and the results have been amazing.

          Each morning on my drive to work, I listen to K-LOVE and let the songs of worship uplift my day before it even begins, but now I feel His message coming through each song. I take this time to just listen to Him and appreciate everything He has given me, and because of this, I can live even better in his image. This allows me to be a better person from the inside out; this also relates to the mental growth I have felt over the time. I have begun to truly live as He wants me to by judging less, appreciating more, and being more respectful of everything and everyone.


          The spiritual growth I have felt throughout this time has been tremendous, and my relationship with Him has been greater than I could have ever imagined. I feel him with me at all times, and I listen to what he is saying at any given moment of the day. I know he is there by the love I feel with Abigayle and the way I see the world. While I believe that this could have been achieved at any time, the motivation I have felt from my workout has pushed me to change, and it has led me to the heights I have reached now.

In-display sensors or facial scanners: which will take off?

The fingerprint sensor may be moving back to the front...under the screen. Could this be the next big trend in mobile technology (see previous entry about current trend)? Or, will companies move the Apple way and opt for facial recognition for security? With the debut of the iPhone X, Apple shifted away from the fingerprint sensor and debuted FaceID. Utilizing (arguably) some of the most advanced cameras and sensors, the iPhone X negated the need for fingerprint, bio-metric security by using 3D facial recognition to verify identity. In doing so, the home button vanished from the iPhone along with the ability to scan fingerprints. Several months later, at CES, Vivo demoed the first phone using in-display fingerprint scanner technology ; the idea being to remove bezels on the front as well remove the sensor from the back of the body. Prior to CES, many believed that Samsung would be the first to debut the technology, but they were held back by mass-producing and technological restra...

It looks like Xbox will welcome Google Assistant and Alexa to the party

As detailed by multiple sources yesterday, the Xbox may be getting much more friendly with Alexa and Google Assistant. Windows Central reports that upcoming dashboards are showing an option to enable digital assistants including Alexa and Google Assistant; this would mean Xbox users would no longer be locked in to Cortana. Xbox Dashboard shows digital assistants on the way Currently, Cortana is the only digital assistant that works within the Xbox, but the writing has been on the wall for her demise for a long time. With the discontinuation of the Kinect for consumers, her use was possible only through headsets and microphones which I would imagine few people used on the daily basis.As someone that routes their TV through the Xbox to take advantage of the entertainment system aspect of the device, I can assure you that I seldom have access to a microphone. The death of Kinect basically ended voice interaction However, with the introduction of other digital assistant capabi...

I made my home just a little smarter, and it has already made things so much better

WiFi Smart Plugs I have considered trying to make my apartment a little smarter ever since I moved in. Unfortunately, it is not so easy to just start changing things considering I am renting. For instance, I cannot just start ripping outlets and switches out to swap them with smart switches, and I am definitely not going to swap out the refrigerator, stove, or microwave of a place I do not own. So, what did I do? Nothing for the first month. Unfortunately, that desire for a smart home that I have had since I first started renting years ago never went away. So, I did the easiest and cheapest upgrade I could do: I bought some smart plugs to work with my Home Mini. Only two days in, let me just say that I absolutely love it. First off, smart plugs are dirt cheap in terms of smart home tools, and if you spend a lot of time on eBay like I do, it is even cheaper. For less than $20, I got three smart plugs to try out. If you don't know, smart plugs just plug in to the outlet...
