Day Two
Set aside 15 minutes on your calendar to sit with a few questions. You’ll want this time to be distraction-free, so plan on turning your phone off and being unavailable.
DAILY REFLECTION
Let’s start by
BREATHING
Take three deep breaths to settle your soul.
When you are ready,
INVITE GOD INTO THIS MOMENT.
Ask God to eliminate the noise and to speak to your body, mind and soul.
SLOWLY READ
Psalm 46:10 NIV
Be still and know that I am God.
ASK GOD A FEW QUESTIONS
What did it feel like to take a five minute pause yesterday?
What do I believe about slowing and stillness that might not be true?
LISTEN
Embrace the silence and fight the urge to speak. Be in the presence of God and listen for his voice.
WRITE IT DOWN
Grab your journal and write down your thoughts and anything God may be speaking to you.
DAILY ACTIONS
Action #1 Set a reminder on your phone to take another five minute pause somewhere in your day.
(Don’t forget, when you engage in your pause, simply close your eyes, breathe, and pay attention to your body as you slow down. Then, thank God for one thing in your life.)
Action #2 Practice walking 20% slower today. That’s right, your goal is to literally walk at a slower speed. Be intentional about the pace you are walking today and simply slow down.
