Good Morning Bitachon of the day ❤️
Every second of every day is a learning experience. Through our experiences and mistakes, we constantly learn how to become the person that Hashem desires us to be. Even in life’s most troublesome moments, we gain new morals, ethics, and values that shape who we are as human beings.
When Hashem throws something unexpected your way, how will you react? Will you sit back and feel depressed, or will you ride the wave and try to make a difference?
Our mind plays a significant role in our lives. Numerous studies show that if you take a group of critically ill people and divide them into two categories—one told they are at the end of their lives and the other not informed—the group that isn't told will live longer.
When our minds start to wander, they often go down negative paths, leading to anxiety, depression, and sadness. This is not what Hashem wants for us. He provides us with tools every day to help us manage our emotions.
The Mishna teaches us that people always have a choice, and that they can control how they respond to their emotions, even if they can't control how they feel. People can pause between their emotions and their actions, and ask themselves questions about how they choose to respond, such as whether it's useful, kind, or reflects who they are.
Learning of Torah has a profound impact on your brain. It stimulates intellectual growth, fosters deeper understanding, and enhances cognitive skills such as critical thinking and memory. Engaging with Torah study can also provide emotional and spiritual benefits, offering a sense of purpose, inner peace, and connection to Hashem. It helps to quiet the mind, allowing for clearer and more focused thinking, and equips you with moral and ethical guidance to navigate life's challenges. That is why right now with this challenging environment and situation so many of us are attending so many classes, you see all the synagogues are so busy.
I have seen it first hand the impact of learning, how it helped me so much and now how it helped my kids.
Through learning you can relate to your own life experiences and how you will react, how you will respond. You shouldn’t be impulsive in your actions because impulsive reactions can harm your well-being by causing regret, increasing stress, straining relationships, leading to poor decisions, and reinforcing negative habits.
After finishing my Bitachon of the day, I listened to Rabbi Farhi's Breakfast in the Class, it was so crazy he spoke about what I wrote on my Bitachon, he delivered the same message. "Menuchas Ha'Nefesh," which means living in the moment with calm and peace. He emphasized that this should be a regular blessing on people's lips. You can have all the blessings in the world, but you will never be happy without inner peace. If your mind wanders and lacks a sense of calm, it will give you the feeling of chaos. Everyone should prayed to Hashem to help them be relaxed, calm, and more present.
May we find peace in our mind, May Hashem bless all of us with Menuchas Ha Nefesh Amen 🙏
Wishing you all a peaceful Shabbat amen 🙏
