Loading the Gap App:
I will optimize all domains of my health by leveraging the immense power of the mind-body connection and awareness of Jesus’ extraordinary sacrifice through a simple habit for at least 100 minutes per week. During this time, I will practice principles for effective planning and internalize habits that will help me to be effective in the moments throughout the day, or in the Gap between thoughts where my eternal destination is determined.
…5Let your gentleness be apparent to all. The Lord is near. 6Be anxious for nothing, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. 7And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.…Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. Memorize psal…..Steps: 1- MEMORIZE SCRIPTURE…..2- FACE the worst with the positive assurance that God will sustain you….3- LIVE in the moment, Rejoice!….4- FOCUS on eternity
The empires of the future are the empires of the mind. Many are the plans in the mind of a man, but it is the purpose of the Lord that will stand. Each thought we have is a complete package. It starts from the silence of our mind and ends in silence, and from there a new thought emerges. That source of thought is our true self, the source of all creativity and imagination. So when we talk about the gap, or the space between thoughts, we are talking about our silent self or pure consciousness. Thoughts can make you sick or healthy. Mind-body medicine reveals the intricate connection of emotions with our health. A powerful example of this is the placebo effect. A placebo is a harmless substance, like a sugar pill, given to patients instead of prescription drugs. However, patients are told they are being given medicine for their ailment. The consequence of consuming the placebo is that patients mentally believe they will now get well, and their thoughts induce them to recuperate, even without taking actual medicine! One such study on the use of placebos was conducted by Dr Stewart Wolfe in the 1950s.

For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and the gospel’s will save it. For what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and forfeit his soul? For what can a man give in return for his soul? For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, of him will the Son of Man also be ashamed when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.

This deep gratitude drives me to deny myself, take up my cross, and follow Jesus all the days of my life in an effort to help others come to know the light of the world. This powerful emotional state allows me to “stretch the spirit” of courage, love, power, and self-discipline that God gave me to fight the good fight of faith, while focused on heaven. I will kneel before God often and verbalize the ACT prayer and master the momentum exercise process.

For, we cannot stand before the throne of a holy God with sin between us and our Savior. Thank God, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins! #3- Thanksgiving: This is a time for prayers of thanks for what God has done. Thank Him for salvation, the many blessings in your life, protection, provision, open doors, opportunities, and His gifts to man.

These sharpening options present quotes, ideas, insights, and other snippets of wisdom to consider. It is important to focus on one option at a time and utilize the momentum exercise process to help you to transform that piece of wisdom into something personal, positive, present tense, and visual. Do this as you focus on those big goals that help to sharpen your legacy and you will discover quality insights, ideas, new habits, and actions you can take to gain momentum.

You might prefer to follow all three steps, rearrange them or simply choose the one that strikes you at that particular time. #1- Make connections to the source: Reflect on the divine instruction that you have been memorizing and connect it to the sharpening options you are currently using to realize that all wisdom has roots in that divine instruction. #2- Make it personal: Try to transform that piece of wisdom into a question that is more specific to what you are trying to achieve in your life, make it personal, positive, and present tense. #3- Give and you will receive: Think of someone you know who might benefit from that piece of wisdom in their life, remind yourself that God loves a cheerful giver, and say a prayer for them.

Self-restraint not only preserves your Life Force, but it also increases it. When you hold an impulse back, the lower, greedy energy is transformed into a higher, giving energy, increasing your Life Force.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]The mother and child-like enthusiasm | For God so loved the world: Remember what it was like when you were a child and you woke up excited for the day? You had no specific expectations, just the excitement of being alive. Living with the love of the Mother feels like that. This hopefulness leads to optimism about your future and builds your capacity for resilience in the face of life’s inevitable challenges.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Reversal of desire | Rejoice in your own suffering: The higher force that drives all of life expresses itself in relentless Forward Motion. The only way to connect to this force is to be in forward motion yourself. But to do that, you must face pain and be able to move past it. The Reversal of Desire lets you do this. Once the tool connects you to the force of Forward Motion, the world is less intimidating, your energy is greater, and the future seems more hopeful.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Projection dissolving, taking power back | Acknowledge him: Group dynamics, especially in families, can be like a swamp. Just when you think you’re on dry land, you take another step and you’re sunk into the mud again. Don’t give up. Taking back your power requires diligence. Keep using the tools and you’ll eventually see the benefits. Try measuring your success not by whether or not there is a fight or the other person changes but by how many times you practice using the tools. Regardless of what happens, if you apply the tools, consider it a success.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”] Jeopardy and WILLPOWER | I can do all things through him:You can’t overcome the tendency to quit by thinking about it. The force you need is willpower. It’s the one higher force you must create yourself; all the universe can do is provide a challenge that demands you generate it.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Inner authority and self-expression | Share your testimony: The force of Self-Expression allows us to reveal ourselves in a truthful, genuine way—without caring about others’ approval. It speaks through us with unusual clarity and authority, but it also expresses itself nonverbally, like when an athlete is “in the zone.” In adults, this force gets buried in the Shadow. Inner Authority, by connecting you to the Shadow, enables you to resurrect the force and have it flow through you.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]The vortex and gaining more energy | Those who trust in the Lord: The immediate benefit of the Vortex is more energy to live your life. That means more opportunities for creativity and connection. Over the long term, you develop a sense of optimism that is key to a brighter future.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]The grateful flow and well being | Love that endures forever: Far from being indifferent to us, there’s a higher force in the universe that created us and remains intimately involved with our well-being. We call that higher force the Source. The experience of its overwhelming power dissolves all negativity. Gratefulness is the way you perceive the Source.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]The tower and recognizing opportunity | All things work together: Life happens. When you accept fate, you can shift your focus from being a victim to recovering. You can see life’s experiences as a chance to crack the shell that Part X has around your heart and rediscover your life force.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Active love and being unstoppable | The greatest commandments: Active Love creates Outflow. Outflow is the force that accepts everything as it is. This dissolves your sense of unfairness so you can give without reservation. Once you’re in that state, nothing can make you withdraw. You are the chief beneficiary; you become unstoppable.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Loss processing and eternity | You will be with me in paradise: While the experience of loss is very painful, it gives us the opportunity to experience a part of the Self that is not defined by the material world. Loss propels us to discover a limitless, eternal dimension of the Self greater than our individual identity, obscured by our attachment to people, places, and things. As you negotiate loss using this tool, you will recover a felt sense of an infinite Source residing within.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Fluidity and defeating your inner enemy | The spirit in you is greater:You have unlimited potential, but you’ve probably noticed you also have an inner enemy that’s hell-bent on sabotaging you at every turn. We call it Part X, and the Fluidity tool can help you fight back whenever it attacks.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Cosmic rage and the greater force | The Lord is my Sheppard: There is a destructive force in the universe that aims to negate who we are and derail us as we try to fulfill our potential. At times this force operates through people in our lives, at times through our own thoughts and feelings. It takes a force as strong as rage to combat this destructive force when it’s attacking us. We can use rage constructively by aiming it at the real enemy and recreating our sacred “I Am” space. In the “I Am” space, we are free from the influence of others and connected to our spontaneous, true selves.[/su_section]
[su_section image=”https://thelocalboom.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2022/07/Screenshot-2022-07-26T154541.115.png” border=”none” text_align=”left”]Dissolving thought with your senses | For the Spirit God gave us:No matter what the subject is, obsessive, repetitive thinking is one way Part X tries to gain control over your mind. Regardless of the subject, once your thinking becomes out of control, Part X has made you its victim and has separated you from others and your environment. Because you’re so busy paying attention to your thoughts, you’re no longer present to what’s going on around you. To break free of this, you need a force stronger than thinking. That force is your senses—in fact, another name for this tool is the Empowering Your Senses tool. Empowering your senses directs your attention back to the present because you can only experience them in the here and now.[/su_section]

Relationships, jobs, people, pets—good things come, and they also go. If you are stuck in grief and unable to move on, give The Islands tool a try. [/su_section]
