Hello!
Sometimes we all need a little R & R - rest and relaxation, but there are times a slightly different variety is necessary… recognition and reflection. This practice is simply taking an intentional break to evaluate and resonate on what is going on around us and in us.
This simple practice can...
enhance self-discovery
increase clarity
bring relief and healing
encourage self-compassion
promote gratitude
I’ll be honest (Katie here), sometimes it is so challenging for me to push pause on the tasks “I must” get done; I always seem to justify pushing through and ignore the brief rest.
However, when I give myself even five minutes to recognize and reflect, I find my heart full of gratitude and my time multiplied. Isn’t that just like God? He blesses us even in the little things.
Not sure what some R & R might look like in your day?
Download our Recognition & Reflection Guide. It was created to encourage you to pause and spend a few intentional minutes ruminating. Take time as often as you see fit - daily, weekly, whenever it feels needed or desired.
Psalm 46:10 reminds us to “be still.” In this stillness of reflection, let your words speak to your dreams, your fears, and your heart. Each pause for R & R can bring insight as you uncover truths, heal wounds, unveil inspiration, and find wisdom in places you hadn’t noticed before.
So, pick up the pen, trust your voice, and let your reflections flow.
Every entry is a gift to your future self.
Enjoy your R & R.
Reflecting with you,
Katie and Kristan
