The Critical Understandings

The CRITICAL UNDERSTANDINGS introduce the essential principles that help us
return to the present moment with conscious awareness, using our physical,
emotional, and spiritual Gifts through our actions, feelings, and thoughts.

These understandings form the core structure of the LIFE-MAP, guiding us to
use our Limited Resources of time and energy wisely, embrace our Unique
Abilities, and honor our Obligations of awareness, challenge, patience, and
honor. Together, they teach us how to align our choices with loving
intention so we can reduce Anxiety, live with purpose, and experience
greater joy in our relationships and everyday life.

Present Moment

There is only one moment of life you can enjoy and use your gifts in the present one.
Manifestations

In each of those moments, we manifest our existence through what we do, feel, and think.
Agreements

By being productive, staying at peace in our relationships, and fulfilling purpose, we can stay in the present moment.
Three Gifts

We need to use our physical, emotional, and spiritual gifts efficiently in each moment upon what we are doing, feeling, and thinking.Description goes here
Limited Resources

We are provided a limited amount of time and energy, it cannot be replaced, and we use these resources in each moment whether we like it our not. When gone our time on earth ends. Our awareness of these resources is critical if we are to be mindful.
Obligations

We must practice the obligations of awareness, challenge, patience, and honor, if we are going to optimize the use of our three gifts in each moment, staying as fully present as possible.
Unique Abilities

We are consciously aware of what we are doing, feeling, and thinking in each moment and can freely choose what we would like to do feel or think next. Why would we choose to suffer when we can instead choose to be joyful in the moment?
