Pause & Reset

“Stop I wanna get off! “If only time would stand still!” Cries of desperation, frustration as life seems to be spinning out of control, or one of the many plates I’ve been trying to keep in the air has fallen and crashed we me alongside!

This is the moment to realise that I need to pause and reset, not carry on regardless of the red flag being waved that things are out of control!

A great tool in coaching is the wheel of life to help understand where there is a lack of balance. As with a car whose wheels are unbalanced, we’re in for a bumpy ride til we make the necessary adjustments!

As I shade the different sections of ‘my wheel’ according to how full or empty they are and reflect where I’m at, the urgency of needing to reset is profound. As I consider my spiritual health I realise that it needs to be at the center of the wheel rather than just a section of it, as it impacts all that I am and do!

Today I find myself forced to pause and look at the imbalance of my life and seek the one who leads me besides still waters to restore my soul and grant me wisdom in making the changes in order to reset and be the joy-filled, productive, life-giving me I’m created to be! Maybe this post will prompt you to do the same!

These questions may help…….

What’s life-giving (where do I buzz?) in order to be life-giving to others?

How do I restore the imbalance in the important areas of my life? (What needs to change or even stop)!

Our life is filled with changing seasons, this world is forever fluctuating with new trends. Our God and his word is the one constant, and he invites us to pause and reset with him in order to restore balance and be realigned to what he wants to do in and through us, his beloved.

Readjust the imbalance rather than risk the wheels falling off!
