It was so hard for me not to dwell on the things that went wrong, or what he or she said, or all the crappy stuff that went on during the day.<BR/><BR/>Ultimately, your work has to end, and if you let it seep into other parts of your life or obsessively dominate your consciousness, you're not giving it up to God and fighting for control. At least that's true for me.jocelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17004550920841504035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7908871735324286268.post-53763434030286534732008-03-22T16:59:00.000-04:002008-03-22T16:59:00.000-04:00Father Thomas Hopko says this one is about focusin...Father Thomas Hopko says this one is about focusing on the task at hand, engaging in what you're doing at the time. And when you're done move on to the next task, forget about the previous one & focus on the present task at hand. <BR/><BR/>When I find this the hardest is when I'm playing with my kids. There are so many times that I don't feel fully engaged in my interactions with them because I am constantly thinking about the other things I have to do. I feel like this does my kids & myself a disservice.<BR/><BR/>As women this is sometimes impossible, because we are perpetual multi-taskers. So I will try to engage in the present task & do it to the best of my ability!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
