Day 28: Active Recovery
TODAY IS THE FIRST OF TWO ACTIVE RECOVERY DAYS IN A ROW. ACTIVE RECOVERY IS A LESS INTENSE DAY BUT STILL PRODUCTIVE.
Watch this video:
If you are behind in the workouts, use today to go back and catch up.
Either way, take some time to evaluate your energy level in four distinct areas:
Physical Energy: How much energy do you have to accomplish physical tasks this week?
Emotional Energy: How much energy do you have to relate to other people this week?
Mental Energy: How much energy do you have to problem-solve or create this week?
Spiritual Energy: How much energy do you have for your relationship with God this week?
Pay attention to the area you feel the most empty. What do you need to do this week to fill that tank? Write down a few ideas.
Here’s the link to the Craig Groeschel Podcast about the Four Energies in case you want to go deeper on this topic.
Write out this prayer:
“God, I feel most empty in [name the area], but that is no surprise for You. Provide opportunities for me to refill this area of my life this week. I can’t run on empty. I need you to strengthen me and refresh me. Thank you for being with me in my emptiness and not leaving me alone. I trust You. Amen.” —[Sign Your Name]
Look at your calendar for the coming week. Make sure you have your time with God plotted out and protected.
Optional Bonus Round:
Here are some passages we touched on this week. Look some or all of these up and read through them again.
SOMETIME THIS WEEK:
Work through your past experiences (this is important to do):
CREATE A LIST OF THE THINGS THAT HAVE IMPACTED YOU THE MOST (BONUS POINTS IF YOU PUT THIS IN A TIMELINE FORMAT):
THE PEOPLE
THE EVENTS
THE CHALLENGES
THE OPPORTUNITIES (DOORS THAT HAVE OPENED)
HIGHLIGHT THE PAINFUL ITEMS ON YOUR LIST.
IDENTIFY AT LEAST THREE CHAPTERS TO YOUR LIFE (BUT NO MORE THAN SIX).
WRITE DOWN AT LEAST ONE LIFE LESSON YOU LEARNED IN EACH CHAPTER.
