Woohoo… we are wrapping up June. Well, I’m not sure if it’s a woohoo, because SUMMER NEEDS TO SLOW DOWN. Now would be a good time!
So, as we go into July, let us remember that summer is a time to take a step back, and evaluate — reflect and redirect as needed.
Quite literally, to “dip into the pool,” immerse ourselves, and come back out with a fresh outlook on how we plan to master the rest of the year.
So, what are you doing this summer to take a step back? If you don’t have anything scheduled, maybe this weekend is a good time to evaluate what you can still pull off. I’m a big fan of even a 3 or 4-day weekend. Sometimes you can transport yourself so that you can really make good decisions on what your mind and soul need right now.
Mark Batterson, one of my all-time favorite authors says something like this: “A change of place, offers a change of pace, and an opportunity for a change in perspective.” I really like that! How about you?
Let’s step back and as a result serve better!
I like how you used the photo of the pool ladder. To use a pool ladder, you should go in backward…take a step back.
Love! MINDY
🙂 thank you much for taking time in your busy life to read the blog. Love you
Totally agree Lori. One thing we try to do every summer is take at least one good, long vacation. Sometimes it’s hard to get away, but making a habit of scheduling it early makes it happen every year. Sometimes, it takes that kind of disconnect for me to find the mental space to really recharge.
i so love this jason and believe it takes longer than we think to truly recharge. It took me…oh like 45 years to figure that out…lol. 🙂
