The weekly posts for the rest of May will focus on techniques to help you reflect on your rest habits. Here’s the first one.
Rest is not something that happens to you. It is something that you make happen. You make it happen when you give it thought and planning, when you act on your plans, reflect on what happened, and make changes in the future. This is why “keeping the sabbath” is a commandment. You have to do it.
There are techniques to help you reflect. Here is the “4 Ls”. It comes from Project Management circles and they use it to access how well they have done after completing a project.
Think of a time when you tried to rest and then answer the following questions
- What did you LIKE about that rest experience?
- What did the rest experience LACK?
- What did you LEARN from that experience of rest?
- What did you LONG FOR in that rest experience?
May I also ask you to reflect on this blog? I would love to know how best I can help you reclaim TROG, the Rest of God for you.
