{Wednesday Wellness Wisdom} My Most Impactful Rhythm!
New Year Greetings Reader
Wait....What!?! Here we are nearing the end of January in our new year; ALREADY!?!
And ALSO… here we are nearly a month into the new year and this is my first connection with you this year via your inbox. Forgive me! I know this does not align with my expressed desire to connect (in past emails).
This is where I insert my full transparency and acknowledgment of falling short with the assurance that I AM A WORK IN PROGRESS in this area. I humbly ask for your grace and patience. My goal this year is to open this door of connection (the email inbox) each Wednesday. More on what that might look like next week, be on the lookout!
But for today…..
Speaking of goals! This is actually what has kept me away. Well... I would say it is a bit deeper than that. Let me explain.
When most begin their year by reflecting on the previous year and setting goals, I tend to take a broader step by reevaluating my lifestyle rhythms. I have come to experience that good healthy lifestyle rhythms, in longevity, are the pathway to reaching those more specific goals that I might set for myself.
I have spent most of this month RESETTING my rhythms.
There is ONE in particular that I want to share with you; the one that I believe is the most impactful and significant lifestyle rhythm that any of us can possibly cultivate.
But first, If I were to state a goal that is encompassed in this rhythm it would be:
So the rhythm most important to me right now is cultivating the Morning Rhythm of seeking and spending time with Him.
This might seem a bit unorthodox but may I share some of my journal writings that came out of my quiet time with the Lord one morning? This might help you understand it's importance to me.
This is a snapshot of what a piece of my Morning Rhythm looks like and how it has brought me joy.
But… let me be perfectly clear…it DOES NOT look like this every morning.
- Since this day, for example, we have had a cold snap and a series of snow storms that are colder than I’m willing to brave outside.
- There have been mornings that work or my day's schedule has taken over my mind and attempted to steal that peace I longingly desire.
- I often have to take a breath and give myself grace in the cultivation process of making this a continually peaceful rhythm.
If you have set goals for yourself this year but have not yet established or even thought about good healthy rhythms to support your goals to change, I encourage you to begin that cultivation process.
