Your Life in Rhythm, Bruce Miller
Main Points:
• Release Expectations: this is the commitment to live well in the current season…not looking back…or wishing to go forward. Depending on the season I must fully embrace where I am..
• Seize Opportunities: Colossians 4:5, “Make the most of every opportunity.” Look for “Such a time as this” moments.
• Anticipate what is next: Anticipation breeds HOPE!
Chronos Seasons: Relate to Time
1. Pace Yourself: Must be able to think and see the cycles of activities and then place them in your calendar.
2. Build Rituals: A ritual is a series of actions performed according to a prescribed order.
What are LIFE ENHANCING rituals?
• Begin your day the night before – “The evening and morning were the first day.” Gen. 1:5
• Engage in conversations that bring life.
• Family time
• Early bedtime, no TV
• 24 hour Sabbath Rest
3. Oscillate between Work and Rest – Intensity and Renewal: Ask yourself, “When am I at my best, and when do I need to rest? ”
“Stress is not the enemy, but uninterrupted stress is.” Jim Loehr
