I remember when I was growing up how soundly I slept. Specifically, we had a summer cabin on a lake and I would spend all day outside playing baseball, swimming in the lake, and riding my bike up and down the lake hills. At the end of the day, I was all done and the minute my head hit the pillow, I was out!
But I recall how soundly I slept. It was so full of peace and calm.
But now 29 years later, real life can take its toll and with all the real life noise, sleep is much more difficult. I don't have sleep issues but nevertheless, I long for those days when my head it the pillow it was all over...and full of peace. That's the way sleep should be.
So I am working intentionally on my sleep plan called REST
Reset
Every
Single
Time
- When today's done, it's done (stop trying to always do more and more)
- Be Thankful for today and rejoice in it
- Review the day (what worked and what did not work)
- Reset to the Big Picture...(always keep focus on the big stuff and not little details)
- Let go and Go Up (it's not about me but rather God and his plan)
