Episode notes
Spiritual Health Is Recovery Speed
- Spiritual health is measured by how quickly one recovers to a place of spiritual rest, not by the absence of struggle.\n- Like a stress test, it's about the rate of recovery, not the ability to avoid trouble entirely.
Assess Weariness vs. Wounds
- Assess if your fatigue is weariness or if you have deeper wounds requiring more than rest.\n- If wounded, consider professional help like therapy in addition to rest.
Recalibrate Life Rhythms Intentionally
- Recalibrate your life rhythms by intentionally creating habits for prayer, rest, renewal, relationships, and work.\n- Implement small, manageable changes like not keeping your phone by your bed to improve multiple areas.
