You know the ones I am talking about, those days when you can’t seem to get your act together. You have been doing so well, plugging along toward your goals and moving forward everyday. then. bam, out of the blue your motivation disappears and you find yourself stuck in this rut. Your diet just fell apart and you ask yourself, why did I eat that? You just blew off your exercise again and your to do list stares at you with an accusing look. What do you do, how do you move forward?
I think sometimes it is good to take a break from the self-imposed routines of day to day life and enjoy the beauty which surrounds us. Ecclesiastes tells us,”He has made everything beautiful in its time”. Stop and enjoy the fragrance of a flower, feel the breeze on your face, listen to the call of a bird and marvel at the beauty of the night sky. Breath deeply and take it all in.
Psalm 139:14 says that ” we are perfectly and wonderfully made”. If your body and mind is telling you to take a break today, listen to it. Read a book, take a walk or relax for tomorrow is another day. Life is short. Take time today to stop and enjoy all it has to offer. You will wake up tomorrow, refreshed and unstuck, ready to conquer the world.
