What relaxes you and recharges you?

"If you want to last over the long haul of ministry, you have to
learn how to recharge yourself spiritually, emotionally, physically,
and mentally.
Here's an easy formula to remember: Divert daily, withdraw weekly,
abandon annually. Know what relaxes you and what recharges you --
and do it." .............. Rick Warren

I found the above in Pastor Rick Warren's website.

What cause me to write here was the line of 'Know what relaxes you and what recharges you'. This line just made me wonder.

In our busy world - with so many deadlines to meet in our jobs, demanding needs from our children or sick parents - do we really have time to do what we like? Can we really cut out some time to do something we love, at the same time recharges - giving us the spiritual and physical energy to move on and press on in every area of our lives.

24 hours a day, sometimes I wished to have a few more hours to complete each and every task that laid on the paper. However, God gives us 24 hours a day- no more, no less. I prayed this morning, asking the Lord's help to teach me to plan my time wisely, to discipline me for making every effort to set a side little time to read His words, for His words is the source to recharge my spiritual energy. To help me in finding that little time to do something that I want, I love, that could recharge me emotionally, mentally and physically too.
