#56- Unlock Presence and Mindfulness: Be Still Psalm 46:10

It feels like we’re constantly reacting—emails, notifications, the never-ending to-do list. It’s easy to get caught up in the rush, but living in this reactive state drains you. Psalm 46:10 reminds us to "Be still, and know that I am God." This isn’t just about slowing down; it’s about intentionally creating space to be present with God. When you pause, even briefly, you allow yourself to reset. You stop living on autopilot and start living with awareness and intention.These moments of stillness don’t have to be grand. They can happen before you get out of bed, during a quiet drive, or while taking a walk. The key is to make room in your day for presence. When you do, you invite peace and clarity into your life. Instead of carrying the weight of stress, you give God the space to meet you, replenish you, and help you live above the chaos. So this week, pick one moment to pause, breathe, and be still—you’ll be surprised how much it changes your perspective.(00:00) Reacting impulsively leads to regret and mindfulness. (03:18) Be still, present, appreciate life and journey. (06:49) Taking breaks improves productivity despite interruptions. (13:36) Avoid martyrdom; prioritize self-care and purpose. (17:36) We often don't appreciate sacrifices until adulthood. (20:48) Live intentionally with purpose, presence, and mindfulness. (24:39) Look up. Problems are small. God’s bigger.Quotes from Today’s Episode: “We’re wired to serve and go the extra mile and if we aren’t careful then we start feeling like the martyr “ “Create a space for you and God to meet.”Connect with Dr. Phyllis Hayes-Reamhttp://drphyllishayesreams.com/https://www.instagram.com/drphyllishayesreams/https://www.facebook.com/phyllis.hayesreams---Thank you for joining me on today's The Resilient Woman Podcast episode.
