Rhythms of Life

Each of us needs a rhythm to our lives, whether it’s a daily routine, a weekly schedule, or something more fluid. This year, like many of you, I’ve noticed that the slower pace of the summer months presents a unique opportunity to embrace a different kind of rhythm. More and more people are taking advantage of travel and quality time with family, soaking in the sun and the joy that comes with it.

Yet, I’ve also found myself in seasons where the idea of downtime seems elusive. This summer, for example, is bustling with activity for me. The lack of downtime can easily create a domino effect, making it harder to be present and prepared for the next season of life.

It’s crucial, though, to fight hard to maintain our rhythms, even when life tries to pull us out of sync. Whether it’s finding small moments of peace in a hectic day or carving out time for self-care amidst the busyness, holding onto our routines can help us stay grounded and ready for whatever comes next.

So, as we navigate this summer, let’s embrace our rhythms, cherish our routines, and make the most of the time we have, even if it’s just in small, meaningful ways.

Stay cool and enjoy the journey,
