This is your time: how valuable is a quiet moment with you.

Some people call it rest, some call it taking a five or ten, some even call it taking a nap, but when the rubber hits the road it’s really a quiet moment with you. Such a moment allows your body to get some comfort time.

Okay, you say it was God who blessed you with the working ability, but your struggle is taking a moment for you. If that’s the case with you, here are some helpful hints.


1: Never let someone else be the one to say when for you.

Others are helpful sometimes, but only you know when it’s time to say, this is my time to rest. You hold the key to your body being revived. You are human and not a battered bunny that could go on and on. Never allow anyone to influence you to work your body like a horse on the race track. Take the time you need to rest, your body deserves it.

2: Know when it’s time to rest all year round.

The season or the time of the year doesn’t dictate if you should rest or not. Your body signals is what triggers you to say “it’s time”. Successful people know when to stop at the red light and wait for a moment until the green comes on again before moving forward because if they run the red light, they are looking for an obvious accident. So when it comes to the laws for the body, if you pursue risks without rest, you are eminent to cause serious damage, which will affect how long you are able to pursue purpose.


3: Pursue to see purpose, and let not your purpose see you

Just like anything else done with passion and zeal until the very end, you must also be mindful of becomeing addicted to the point that you kick your moments of rest to the side. Because what will eventually happen is your passion will be on high, then your body will burnt out until you can’t go anymore. In other words, the spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. The ultimate purpose is to fulfill the will of God for you life, so be wise and make sure you don’t fall short due to weariness and exhaustion from not performing such a little task: Rest.

4: Practice relaxing

Many people find it difficult or impossible to stop on a dime what they are doing and take a rest. If it’s so difficult for you to do such a thing, work at it in increments (a little at a time). Don’t wait for the vacation time to get away on your secret hideaway. Control what you are doing by lessening your work load so you could get a period here and a period there, bit by bit, until your big moment comes, to shut the world out, and remain silent with you alone.

4: Give yourself a prize

Why work so hard, day and night, time after time and not reward you with a prize of rest. You need something to keep you going and going. You need energy, without it, your concept of what you are doing will fade away. Your motivation and drive to continue will not be at a level to bring great result.

I know you are probably saying that the more work you do, brings more productivity, but the truth of the matter is that productivity comes from the quiet moments when the mind body and soul is rested. What rest does is give you a chance to see and get understanding of what your true purpose is. Then, out comes the motivation and inspiration to go one more mile.

Key steps to making the right decision

Coming to terms with your situation
I realize that coming to terms with a bad situation that happened in your past can be very difficult, especially if you have been through a terrible time. But whatever occur in your past will always be the past, it’s something that’s gone and never to be return. Only the memory of yesterday is left.

What’s important is to get your life in order and not become a negative person because of what happened in the past. It serves you no purpose to dwell on things that you cannot change or bring back. It is useless and wasted energy. Your focus should be on moving forward and making the right decision from this point on.

Training your mind
Training the mind is a process, a method of controlling or influencing the way the mind think. When you train, you start from small and gradual increase as you go. In other words, habituation, which means to do until you get accustom to whatever that thing is. Reality said that it takes about twenty one days for a habit to take effect, thus means that you need to repeat over and over until it becomes a natural flow of doing.

Positive thinking
In this time and age we can be easily influence by what we see and here. But we need to be confident, optimistic, and focusing on good things rather than bad. Decision making is one of the most critical aspects of a person life. Thus what you think about will reflect on the decision you make. This is why you need to have a positive attitude, which will translate to a positive view of your future.

God-given perspective
Evaluation of the situation in your life will put you in a position to make decision weather good or bad. However, we must keep things in a God given perspective. Whatever decision we make must be cantered around the truth in God words. According to Colossians 1:17 “Whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him” Every decision you make must be lined up according to God word which will empowered you to make godly decisions that are based on the Truth of His Word.
