Is there space between your load and your limit? If you're filling up your calendar constantly, what is your motivation? When you allow yourself to have margin in your life, you can be more present to the Lord and to those around you.

Check your heart and be honest about why you are leaving little to no margin in your life. Is it necessary? Would you and your loved ones benefit from you allowing space to rest?

Try incorporating new (slower) rhythms into your life: rest, creativity, community and work.

Practice Sabbath with those close to you - how can you encourage one another to spend time with God, away from work and in close community with other followers of Jesus? If you're not in a place where you can commit to an entire 24 hours, start by setting aside time for a device free meal, enjoying it with someone who with spend time talking about Jesus and His Word with you!
