Personal Development – Developing a Daily Rhythm for spiritual and emotional health.

If we don’t plan our days, we will become swamped with the chaos of others. I believe it is possible to find daily strength, peace and restoration by developing a personal daily rhythm that includes things that energise us and bring us peace.

Here are 9 questions I am asking myself this week. The answers to these questions will help us develop our days to include things that refresh and recharge us. After answering the questions, sketch out a daily rule of life, a plan for each day with things you will do to recharge and what time of day you will do them.

1. What are the times of day when you feel most energized?

2. When do you feel most tired?

3. How much sleep do you need?

4. What are the physical habits that energize you?

5. What are the physical habits that drain you?

6. How do you find soul rest?

7. What are the spiritual disciplines where you feel most restored by God?

8. Which relationships most refresh you?

9. Which relationships most drain you?

From the answers to these questions we can plan ingredients we want in each day, as a priority, to maintain stability, health and inner peace.
