Happy Sunday Friends,
It's Spiritual Sunday and today allow me to encourage you to take this day to reflect on the past week and plan for the next one.
It's very easy to consider all the things that went wrong, but press yourself to reflect on everything that went well and for what you are grateful. As I stated, these thoughts won't come easily. That is why you must reflect or ponder.
Resist the urge to plan all the way down to the minute. When you do, you may find that you condemn yourself for not meeting all of your goals, or you may miss an opportunity that would require your flexibility.
Try to plan in times of rest. Notice that the word rest is the root of the word restore and restoration. Neither of these is possible without rest so make rest a priotity.
And, ultimately, that is what today should be about, restoration and renewal for the coming week.
Sure, routines may make the times seem boring, predictable, and unfruitful. But in those same healthy routines is security and safty and many you can do on auto-pilot. So don't add your routines into your weekly plan (untless you want to. Sometimes I do just because I like to check things off a list.) Let your planning be for your goals and dreams and see where you can carve out a bit of time to pay close attention to those thoughts.
I hope you have a great Sunday and well talk again on Tuesday!
