It’s important to stop and recalibrate some things in your life every now and then.  Things that somehow got a little off track and needs some tweaking. Do you just let it continue or do you stop and make some tweaks?

Here’s a few of the things I’m learning to recalibrate in my life….

1. Speak less and listen more. People have always said there’s a reason you’re given 2 ears and 1 mouth.  Try to use them accordingly.
2. Don’t let text messages run your life.  I’ve developed a nasty habit lately of looking at my phone the second I get a text message.  I realize I’m spending half my day just trying to respond.  I’m learning (again) that my phone is a tool and not my master. Maybe for you it's email, twitter, facebook, etc.
3. Spend time with God before you jump into work. For some reason I started looking at my emails or making a list of to do’s before having my time with God in the morning.  I just can’t do that.  My new rule is no looking at emails before spending time with God because my mind will be on what I need to accomplish not what God wants to do in me.
4. Don’t waste your down time. Lately I’ve been neglecting my down time and using it for pretty foolish things rather than things that actually renew me. I’m not saying all your down time must be productive but real SABBATH is about refreshment and renewal not laziness.
5. It’s good to break up the routine sometimes. I’m a creature of habit and I like (love) my routines. Many times to the point where it’s a little unhealthy.  Lately I’ve really worked hard to create opportunities that stretch me out of my comfort zone and cause me to be spontaneous.  You may not have this problem but I do.
