WEEKLY MESSAGE – June 18th – Fr. McManus
I go to a local gym a couple of days per week. They are good marketers and their latest strategy is have their patrons think about “mindfulness”. There are three ways that they suggest to be mindful: eating well each day, taking five quiet minutes per day and do 20 minutes of light exercise/movement per day.
Then to make a daily mindful goal into a habit, you are asked to place a different color bean (black bean, red bean or a white bean) into a clear jar to have a visual showing of your progress. Good idea, I thought! I have a dropped a few beans into the community jar!
What if we did a similar community clear glass jar at St. David’s? What if we kept the black and red beans for eating well and light exercise, but then substituted prayer/ meditation for mindfulness? White bean.
Remember the goal is to make a daily goal into a good habit. What do you think?
