I used to be disciplined enough before to never miss my morning workouts and somewhere along the way, I put that on the back burner too and stopped completely for a couple of weeks at a time. My poor dog suffered through this because my warm-up used to be taking him for a run.
This mindset of “I feel that my energy needs to be used on x,y, and z” is what caught me up in a trap of burning out my mind but under-working my body. I was out of alignment.
My problem in all this was thinking that I was a one man show and that it was all up to me to do it all and get it done. Again, with the “I felt” statement. But this time, I chose different. I got reminded that God was with me. He said he was and he proved it over and over again and even when I didn’t ‘feel’ he was could I not look back and see that he always had been? Realizing that truth is what changed things.
When I do life with God even when decisions or choices try to put me at a crossroad, I find that asking him to help me makes the going forward easier. He gives me the boldness to take the next step and then he gives me peace about it. I know that I have turned away from God when I don’t have peace about something.
