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.

Where do tablets belong?

Last night, I had a sudden thought: where does my tablet belong in my tech life? I have always loved the thought of having a need and purpose for every piece of technology I own. For instance, my computer does all of my heavy lifting (photo and video editing) while my phone does all of communicating and daily living tasks. My Chromecast ? That is for tossing music and videos to my TV. Google Home Mini ? What a great little assistant for quick information and getting my day started. I use my Xbox for gaming while my Huawei Watch gives me quick updates and almost-hands-free communication. So, where does my Kindle come in? I originally bought my Kindle Fire to be a consumption device and makeshift pseudo-laptop as mine is not very portable. I thought I would use it for all of Netflix watching as I moved about the house as well as for reading plenty of books; I even intended it to be useful to bang out a quick blog post or article. We probably had a great relationship at first...and ...

Digital well-being is the trend of the year

Digital well-being is this year's buzzword With the keynote of WWDC officially over, it is safe to say one thing: digital well-being is the trendy topic of the year. I/O last month and WWDC have demonstrated that the key players in mobile devices (seemingly) want you to put your phone down. However, which company has the right idea in how to do it? Both iOS 12 and Android P have showcased coming features to address "digital well-being". For all intents and purposes, these words just mean that Apple and Google "want" you to spend less time on your phone; at least, that is the image they are portraying. Both iOS and Android offer new dashboards Now, how are they both doing it? While they differ in the approach, they have very similar tools. For instance, both operating systems will allow you to set timers on apps so that you can spend as much or as little times in those apps as you choose. If you go over, you get shut out of the app. In additio...

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...
