Practicing What I Preach

I find myself this morning very aware of the challenge to practice what I preach.  I regularly encourage my clients and online followers to make it a priority to take good care of themselves, and live with such a balance in life that this flows naturally in one’s daily rhythm.  I also challenge folks to act on conviction, rather than impulse, and this often means doing what you don’t feel like doing at the moment.  And I am now feeling under the weather with serious chest congestion, while facing a major business transition that needs considerable attention and effort.  Rest?  Work?  Rest?  Work?

I think I’ll stop for a few minutes of focused prayer-rest, seeking God’s direction on how to face today.  I am tempted to try to figure out how to face the week, but I know I really can only face today.  And trying to tackle the whole week today will probably just tire me out anyway.

If you are interested in more thoughts along these lines, I recommend reading John Eldredge’s latest book, “Walking with God.”
