Religion & Spirituality
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, I have been trying to address the habits I have formed. Truthfully, in the past four months, I have drastically changed my daily routine, beginning with how I spend my mornings. My mornings were hectic. They focused on trying to wake up, eat, workout, and hopefully, I’ll remember to read my Bible and pray a little. Since March, I have done my best to alter my routine to one where I am not in a hurry. I spend time reading scripture. I have a set prayer I pray each morning, along with supplications and meditation. I eat a balanced breakfast, and I go for a thirty-minute walk. It’s not much, but it has become my new routine, and I like it. It keeps me emotionally balanced and allows me to focus my heart and mind at the beginning of each day. I don’t say all this to brag. I hate that it has taken me so long to realize how unfruitful my previous morning routine had been. No, I say all this to challenge you to analyze the kinds of habits you have developed. Are they helpful? Are they mentally and physically healthy? The habits we breed will lead us to live lives we are in control of or lives that control us. I know this sounds self-help like, but please understand, God wants us to live with healthy habits as well. You know that whole “out of the heart the mouth speaks” thing? Jesus is trying to help us understand that the habits we have will ultimately dictate what kind of life we live. May we take care of ourselves emotionally and physically. May we spend time allowing God to nurture us spiritually. May we choose to live lives with healthy habits.
