Whenever I think that I’m too busy to slow down or don’t have time to take a break, I try to remember that my body needs rest & carving out time throughout my days to pause and pray is necessary for me to thrive.
This past weekend I was on a retreat for work. I mentor college students through one-on-one and group settings, and this past weekend, I was in the mountains with my coworkers and about 30 students from across the city of Denver.
We’re all on a journey towards living a life of purpose, happiness, true joy and peace.
When I first began practicing the Sabbath, I understood that it was a day to simply rest and become recharged. I didn’t, however, know the reason behind why the Sabbath actually existed. I kind of knew what the Sabbath was, but I couldn’t answer the why behind it.
A big part in living wholeheartedly is knowing how to live healthy & acting upon it, and that includes food.
During my senior year of college I started making a routine of having a Sabbath.
In my last post I mentioned this idea of “listening to your body” and I thought I would expand on it because it’s important.
Over the past couple of years I have found beauty in living a balanced life. This has come from learning more about myself and the woman I have been created to be, along with learning what it is that helps human beings flourish and thrive.
Living wholeheartedly seems daunting. I sometimes mistake the word “wholehearted” for words like perfect, flawless, and successful; and at times I have a “do everything the best I can with all I got” attitude because that is what I minimize living wholeheartedly to be.
Telling our stories is imperative. It’s hard and requires vulnerability. But it’s necessary and beautiful.
