Quiet Time
One of the things we don’t do enough of is making time to be quiet. In our fast-paced lives we oftentimes do not dedicate a portion of our days to reflecting on what we’re doing, why we’re doing it, and who we’re doing it for. Doing this each day takes discipline. It also will reinforce the purpose of your life and this will be transferred to every part of your day. For example, studying work-related training guides might not be your way to spend a Saturday afternoon. However, you will be able to recognize that this will increase your skills and enable you to be even more effective at your work. Here are some suggestions for your quiet time:
• Establish a routine time when you sit down and think about your day
• Purchase a devotional or motivational book to read
• Pray
• Reflect on the major tasks you will be doing throughout the day or that you have already finished and connect those to your life purpose
• Think of ways to get better at what you do everyday
• Identify several things you’re thankful for
