Sabbaths/rest days do wonders. Those are Mondays for me.
That means I don’t schedule meetings on Mondays, I avoid stuff that’s work-related.
Instead, I take time to relax. My mind is free to evaluate where things are at thus far in the various spheres of my life, without being concerned about an upcoming meeting in the day or a project to work on.
I’ve found that having this free time allows me to have thoughts that I have little time to have in the course of the week, when I’m up and about and handling various assignments. Thoughts about my purpose, relationships..I slow down enough on Mondays to delve deeper into these areas.
So on Mondays I have more time for prayer, Netflix, FIFA, more reading and study of God’s Word..and I’ve found that having this rest day sets me up well for the rest of the week. I’m better prepared for the meetings in the week, and I’m rejuvenated to tackle the week ahead.
So what’s your rest day? Do you have one?
